Joe's Hamburgers

I'm not sure why I decided to go eat a burger in Richmond Hill and blog about it today when I could've just waited a week until I'm in NYC eating Shake Shack.  The chicken shawarma at Joe's also looked quite appealing, but I decided to get a Big Joe's with cheese instead for $5.79. I find that Mediterranean people seem to like having burgers on their menu, like some signs I saw in Danforth for burgers in a Greek restaurant, or that Middle-Eastern man who made the horrible burger I had at Chef Burger (I don't even want to link to that blog post).  Quincy suggested that perhaps they like grilling souvlakis and kebabs so much that they decided to try grilling the burger.  But I kinda like flat-top burgers now...

Behold! Big Joe

So I decided to put some shawarma options on my burger in addition to the typical lettuce, onion, pickle, mayo, ketchup, mustard, etc.  I went for this mixed coleslaw stuff and tzaziki sauce. It was good!  It was kinda like a beef shawarma burger.  I liked how the burger was grilled so hot that my bottom bun felt too warm to pick up, but not the kind that starts getting soggy from all the juices, yet not so hard that all I taste is bun.  Good bun.  The patty itself has probably been frozen, but the 8oz patty was pretty juicy nonetheless.  The cheese was processed and kinda gross. Quincy liked his bacon if anyone cares.

In conclusion: I'm going back.  For the chicken shawarma.
