With these warmer and longer days, it’s time to relax, meet with friends and family and grab a burger downtown!
That ubiquitous summer meal – juicy beef patties finished with the simplest of toppings or dressed up to satisfy the cravings of the gourmet.
We visited five local restaurants and asked them to present us with their favourite burger. Here are FIVE BURGERS TO TRY this season!
1 – The Pink Bicycle – “Blue Flame Beef Burger
2 – Big Wheel – “Bacon Cheeseburger”
