Never been to Alloy. National, however, might be my favourite burger in the city.
First off, this is one of the only places in the city that grinds their meat in house. Therefore, they are allowed to sell the burger at whatever temperature you like (ie. medium rare, medium, etc.). They use use Silver Creek Ranch free range ground chuck. So to say the least, it's top quality beef.
When the burger shows up, it doesn't look very large, and to be 100% honest, it's not. It is, however, surprisingly filling. This is definitely a quality over quantity sort of deal, but don't think you are going to be leaving the place hungry.
When you bite in, you instantly know you are eating something amazing. There's veggies, there's an aioli of some sort and hopefully you also got it with bacon and cheese. I don't remember what exactly goes on it, but I'll say that whatever it is, works perfectly together. Then when you're finished, you will pretty much want another one right away. Not because you're not full, because you probably are, but because you no longer care about daily caloric intake, fat and sodium levels and you feel like you have to experience it all once again.
It's definitely not a cheap burger, however, it's totally worth it.
