2022 Burger Bash Special

2022 Burger Bash Special

Burger Week moved back to its usual springtime schedule, rebranded (to Burger Bash) and expanded to a full 10 days. Unfortunately, this wasn’t like Burger Weeks of yesteryear when you could go on pilgrimages and fill up on cheap & fun burgers – the price points have increased pretty much across the board, which is a sign of the times. Still, we enjoyed the following selection of offerings:

Final Rankings:
#1 - Canadian Whisky & Beer Burger @ The Cannery
#2 - Smyrna Burger @ Smyrna
#3 - Carnival Burger @ Kempster’s
#4 - Hot Honey Popcorn Chicken sandwich @ Cheeky Neighbour
#5 - Arancini Smash Burger @ Piatto
#6 - Garlie Burger @ King Of Donair

King Of Donair

King Of Donair (Pizza, 6420 Quinpool), visited May 6. It just wouldn’t be Burger Week…erm…Bash without a Garlie Burger. Donair meat crammed between two wedges of garlic fingers is always a good time! Verdict: 3.5/5 (70%) chance of returning.

The Cannery

The Cannery (Casual Dining, 1980 Robie), visited May 6. A Canadian Whisky & Beer Burger as on the menu for Burger Bash. Although it didn’t taste particularly boozy, the BBQ sauce was delightful, the onion rings were great, and the whole thing was just a great production. And for $8, it was incredible value. Verdict: 4.5/5 (90%) chance of returning.

Cheeky Neighbour

Cheeky Neighbour (Diner, 6024 Quinpool), visited May 6. For the Burger Bash, they offered a Hot Honey Popcorn Chicken sandwich. Yes, you read that correctly. The chicken had an enjoyable spicy honey glaze, and there was popcorn on the burger which added a unique, subtle crunch. The Animal Style fries were covered in cheese sauce, pickles, onions and sauce, but were overwhelmingly messy and not particularly good. The burger, on the other hand, was well worth the visit. Verdict: 4/5 (80%) chance of returning.
