Burger Porn


(Briefly considered posting this in “Supplements and Nutrition”, but “Nutrition” is a bit of a stretch here)

Ever have a burger suitable for consumption by the pantheon of Greek Deities? A burger whose overall juiciness, succulence and general awesome-osity builds on the bite preceding it, eventually escalating into a crescendo of burger-tasticness?

Or maybe just one that was really fucking good?

Post pics.

I’ve been to a ton of premium burger joints around the US and Canada, and the best I’ve had anywhere is “Chuck’s”, located on Locke St. in Hamilton, ON. It blows anything Toronto has to offer completely out of the water. If you go for lunch, get there around 11ish, as there is a line out the door by noon.

Pictured is the “Cuban Burger” - Grade A Canadian beef ground in-house, a fried egg, a slab of peameal bacon, and Jensen cheddar. Even the fries are world class


The next runner-up for me is at “Hrvati”, a Croatian-themed beer hall that for some reason is situated in the middle of Koreatown in Toronto.

They use grass-fed beef, and their burger has smoked mozzarella and carmelized onions. The bun is really unique as well, they use a lot of egg in the baking which gives it a slightly chewy consistency, and when this soaks up the grease from the beef it tastes phenomenal.

My mouth is watering…wow those look amazing.

I wont lie, I’m not a huge fan of burgers. I enjoy a Mcdonald burger like once a year if i end up there. Gimme a nice pizza anyday.


4x4 from In N Out…The king of all fast food burgers. Though, for this meal, the 4x4 wasn’t enough, so I added a Double Double to the mix :slight_smile:

Cooking for my GF and myself…

In N out is overrated. Fat Burger is King.

Habit Burger > In N Out

Cant go wrong with a double double and animal fries tho.

In N Out < Big Kahuna Burger

They do some tasty burgers

I’ve heard that but I can’t go because my girlfriend is a vegetarian.

Speaking of Korea town, when I feel like nerding it up I go to the cafe Snakes and Lattes.

It’s a cafe with 2,208 board games. It open until 3am every night.

I’ll check out Hrvati at some point.

I’d like to top THAT burger with my OWN mayonnaise…if you know what I mean!!!

(I buy the organic mayonnaise from Whole Foods, all natural and far preferable to the stuff at typical burger joints)

Go man, you will not regret it!

Get there early, as it fills up fast.

Hope you like beer as well, they have a pretty impressive list. Only two menu items if I recall correctly…the burger, and a sausage platter.

I was wondering where to find a good natural mayo. Thanks Pimp!
