Yeah it's kind of buried in a corner of a new strip mall as it's inside a square type of strip mall arrangement across from Ceilie's pub. Parking is awful of course as with most of these new strip malls.

Just came from Naina's Kitchen. Holy. So delicious.

Last night, I went to Five Guys. Great burger but something is off with their fries. I've had them a few times in the last few months and they just aren't quite the same.

Tomorrow, I start Lipitor.

The brisket is my favorite item at Briggs.

My mouth waters just thinking about it.

Love Naina's as well. If you're ever in Kimberley, do yourself a favour and have the Camburger at The Pedal and Tap. Make sure to get it with the Mucky Fries as well.

And the short rib and the pork belly and the lobster poutine and the salmon sliders and the ratatouille…

So good. I want to try the bone in ribeye but $75...

The bone in rib eye is not for the faint of heart. Bring a like minded friend if you take that challenge.

And don't forget to save room for the Mille feuilles.


Truly, everything is great at Briggs. My only complaint is the short pours with the scotch.

Having made my way through all Five Guys (just don't...), I feel I can safely say the best one is on Macleod trail behind the now-closed Futureshop. Cajun Fries there have been fine.

I agree with some posters who say their fries in some locations are funky, the ones out in the burbs just seem off.

Yep. I was at the Deerfoot Meadows location. I've never tried the Macleod location. I'll have to give it a shot.

My anti-virus blocks me when I try to go to the Burgerquest site. Is anyone else having this issue?

Long story but the short version is one of our partners became disinterested but at the same time made it difficult to carry forward without him

And yes then there was that appt at my doctors

Thanks for the update!

I would have never tried Naina's without the Burgerquest recommendation. For that I thank you...my heart, on the other hand, does not.

Planning to make my first Rocky's Burger Bus trip of the spring today, and learned that they have moved to Crossroads Market! Luckily, I learned of this before heading out.

Cool, I'll have to head over to the Crossroads Market some weekend for a burger.

FYI, Burger Week starts tomorrow (May 2). Naina's Kitchen was the winner last year, there are 30 entries this year.

Where is the "burger" part of the Comfort Burger from Primal Soup Company? The 2014 at Murdoch's looks interesting. I need to go out and get the B.L.G HAMBURGUESA.

Just hit Burger 320 for lunch. One of the best burgers I have had in a LONG time. 3 of us had burgers. After our first bites, each one of us exclaimed "HOLY #@&*!". Really good burgers. The garlic fries are delicious.

I had a double burger with sauteed jalapenos and sriracha aoili.

Can't wait to go back with a bigger lunch crew.
