I'm on the Boogies bandwagon - a very good choice for take-out.

We can only do one poll per thread, TM.

Every time we have a burger thread I really miss the burger places that are in Winnipeg.

Give me a George's or Junior's "Fat Boy" burger any time over most of the choices here in Calgary.

(And I would try to rationalize the name "Fat Boy" so that I don't get Fotze'd over the name, but I think me explaining that is the name that Greek restaurants give their premium burgers would only make it worse.)

Yes the "Fat Boy" is unreal. Hands down one of the greatest burgers.

Hmm... I'll definitely need to try Rocky's some day.

I think Willy's hamburgers are still around -- they have some good burgers (not the best, but still good).

Anyone been to Fatburger in Deerfoot Meadows? Just another typical restaurant chain?

Actually, Tommy Burger should be in the Restaurant/Pub category. The correct full name is Tommy Burger and Bar.

Absolutely!

There are other good (even great) burgers, but the Banzai Burger just seemed to get it right.

Like habernac said it is expensive. I like their burgers. They are huge plus you can add a fried egg, bacon, or chilli if you want. Fries and shakes are good as well.

Adding to Reruns picture of Rocky's:



Jebus.

I also nominate Tommy's Burger and Bar. Granted I haven't tried a lot, but they have a nice selection of fixings and the decor is actually pretty upscale for a burger place.

I also miss Fuddruckers.
