When you want a burger that’s grilled to perfection, skip the usual fast food suspects and head to one of these local spots in the Beaches. Be sure to work off those calories afterwards with a walk on the boardwalk or a game of beach volleyball.
At its simplest, a burger is just a piece of meat between two slices of bread but Priest sets a higher standard. What sets them apart? For starters, their burgers are made daily with freshly-ground premium beef and cooked on a flat top grill – a preferred method to help flavourful juices stick around. It’s worth answering the skill-testing question on their website to unlock their secret menu.
Here, they take no short cuts. Only high-quality ingredients straight from Ontario farms go into your burger. Meat is ground daily for ultimate freshness and cooked on a flat top grill. And instead of a limited choice from a pre-set list, you can customize your burger from the lengthy menu of free toppings. Make sure you save room for their tasty poutine with seasoned thin-cut fries and huge cheese curds.
How many burger chains have embraced the mobile option by rolling out a burger truck? If you happen to miss the Hero on wheels, just stop by their Queen East shop where they’re happy to fill you up. Any burger here ̶ beef, chicken, turkey, vegetarian or salmon fillet – is a winner. Douse the fries with gravy and cheese curds and top it all off with a milkshake.
