W Burger Bar

Don't worry y'all, I'm still alive. I know, I haven't been updating for a while so you probably thought that I've been hospitalized after consuming the Quad C burger. Or perhaps died from getting stuck in my chair. 

ohh, so that's why stools were invented!

I felt bad for neglecting the blog these past couple of weeks so I took a break today and went to W Burger Bar at Yonge & College. My friend and I were debating what to eat before class as I subtly implanted an idea in her head that a burger would be a great idea. Seeing that she's my classmate from my fitting study of nutrition, she didn't need to know my secret identity: a burger blogger.  Hence, I didn't get a picture of her $9.99 bison burger. But here's my beef burger!

There was a kobe beef burger which was $18.99, described as "American beef raised Japanese way." PSH. Knock off. At least have the beef be Canadian for that price! So I opt for the regular beef burger and the beef is allegedly hormone and antibiotic free. It started at $6.99 with a $1.50 option for cheeses, $1.25 for bacon/egg, and $2.50 for guac/portobello. Along with that, they had a pretty wide option for complimentary condiments and garnishes. I stuck with Montery Jack cheese, chipotle mayo, horseradish, mixed greens, jalapeno, and sauteed onions.  We also shared a sweet potato fries for $3.99, which we didn't end up finishing anyway.  They also had $2 shooters, which unless you're a lightweight, you'd probably end up with diabetes before you get drunk. And I'm not sure if I've made an appearance in a hipsturr place again, because a pint of Pabst Blue Ribbon was only $3.99 while other domestics were $5.99.

it's only a matter of time before I catch myself a hipster.

Sorry I really don't know why I keep making fun of hipsters. Maybe there's some undiscovered link between them and burgers.  Anyway my burger was quite mediocre- I asked what was the most rare they can cook it and got medium well with a bit pink inside but it probably would have tasted no different than well done. The bun was the kind that was cold and not toasted and got soggy pretty fast, and the beef, though a good thickness, was not very juicy nor flavourful.  I feel as the more burgers I eat, the further I am getting away from achieving the perfect burger... Is this normal?  

Overall, this is probably not somewhere to go if you're looking for a great burger, but it gets the job done.  Even though W Burger is not a particularly big place, they do have quite a few draughts on tap if you're looking for somewhere to drink with friends and have a decent burger on Yonge st. The seats are just a bunch of wooden tables and chairs, so I would pick Bamburger though if I wanted to sit a while with a few drinks and a burger.
