Burger or no burger, I'll be eating that at my earliest opportunity. Does the crab cake one also come on the pretzel bun, or is that just the burger?

You guys got a write-up in Metro today! Did you contact them for the interview or vice-versa?

You do realize that if you ever go on a rampage they are going to use that as your stock photo.

Yes, it was on the pretzel bun.

New review up at BQ - another hidden gem that cracks our top 5. This burger is great and most of you probably haven't tried it.

I'll give an endorsement to Awesome Burger at the Kingsland Farmer's market. Fresh market-sourced ingredients, tasty toppings. But the real star for me is the patty, they cook them on the gas grill and get that just right level of crispy almost-burnedness on the outside while still being juicy and beef-tasting on the inside. I really appreciate a burger where I can taste the beef, not just bland cooked mystery meat.

South Street Burger Co. coming to 130th ave - looking forward to trying it as I'm not near Crossiron Mills or Beacon Hill very often.

I liked South Street...might be because they let you add Dijon Mustard and Dijon Mustard makes every burger that much better.

I wonder where it will go? Down near the Lowe's?

On the corner in the old Please Mum location - just east of Mark's and the dollar store before you hit Safeway.

I definitely like the shakes way more than the burgers. Burgers are average, but they hit the spot when you got a grease or meat craving.

The thing about Peter's is that going is an EVENT. It's something to do. You know you've got a drive ahead of you, you know your going to spend sometime in line, especially if it's hot. You take your family, or your friends, or your lover and you just make an afternoon of it. It's a way to slow down and spend some time with those you love. It's a little local tradition that brings people together.

That looks awesome, and so does their menu.

But that doesn't help us!

For burgerquest guys, could you maybe put a map of Calgary with pinned locations that would be really helpful for someone hoping to quest to these different places.

[JiriHrdina]

Sure I'll ask if we can do that.

[KelVarnsen]

Why oh why can't they open a location near West Springs/Aspen Landing area.

The location coming soon to the NE wasn't there when I originally posted the location coming soon to Royal Oak in the NW. Looks like since then it's been added.
