Toronto Life Survey - Toronto’s 25 best burgers

[Knight Rider]

Nine years ago, Mark McEwan scandalized Torontonians with his $35 truffled Bymark burger. That was before words like “grass-fed,” “heritage” and “dry-aged” entered into the burger lexicon.

The city is now crammed with craft burgers, and carnivores no longer flinch at steep price tags. Competitive chefs bring in whole cows from nearby farms, bake their own buns, smoke their own bacon (twice), replace ketchup with tomato chutney and source the most pungent cheeses they can get their patty-flipping hands on. Thankfully, the mom-and-pop shops haven’t been artisinalled out of business—there are still plenty of sublime greasy-bag burgers around, as well as a few new-school diners ironically replicating them.

Here, the very best of the city’s boundless burgerdom.

 

[Mayor]

Priest burgers are the best in the city. Who has tried it?.

 

[Butch]

Priest burgers are the best in the city. Who has tried it?.

Second that.

 

[Cardinal Fang]

Priest burgers are the best in the city. Who has tried it?.

I have tried them and loved them. Been back several time because it's too convenient and my waist line confirms that. Best in the City though? I not sure about that. I do agree with the No. 2 choice from Marben.

 

[Wanker]

$35 for a burger.


Pass.

 

[Insertion]

I'm happy with a simple Harvey's burger for under $10. My first choice is my own made on the barby.

 

[Bubba]

Hey Pops smell the bacon.

 

[BEER]

Hey Pops smell the bacon.

I am now hungry again.

 

[Coxwell]

I love the Burger Priest too, tiny shop just down the road from me. :yahoo:

I don't consider any burger place to be the "absolute best"

It's like visiting Italy or France, every region has it's own characteristics, flavours & nuances.

I'll bet my burger is better.

(Actually, I'd really like to know if it is)
