Tried the Maple Bacon burg. It's a serious contender in this city. Its a little pricey but I like the taste of the arrangement of flavors. The portions can be a little dicey but its good food but the parking is kinda awkward ie. none out front, you have to park on the street and even then there isn't much.

I happened to be in Bridgeland over lunch today, so I picked up a burger from Burger 320, across the street from Blue Star. (Burger 320 to be Pimentos, I think?) Ordered the Wickens - bacon, cheddar, chutney and arugula. I didn't get to eat it right away as I brought it back to my office, but overall, I was pleased - the chutney added an interesting sweet touch to the burger. I found the patty a bit dry, but that could have been the 20 minute walk back to the office, so I'd like to give it another try. The poutine looks amazing.

I had a good portobello mushroom patty somewhere - I forget where.

Boogie's is my favourite in Calgary.

went to silli burger for the last time. It used to boast that it served Heritage Ranch beef. Now the staff don't even know where it comes from. You're basically paying full price for quality burger fare for average quality. Don't ever go or you will end up just as disappointed as i was.

My Vegetarian wife loves the Blue Star Diner's veggie patty, if that helps.

See i'm on the fence about Boogies. It isnt bad but it isn't holy #### I need to go back tomorrow. Maybe its because I haven't had it in a while, maybe I'll try it again. Just reading this thread looks like I have A LOT of catching up to do haha

I had lunch at South St Burger on 130th today and really enjoyed it. I believe it was my first time eating at a South St Burger location.

No - partnership kinda fell apart. There were 3 of us originally.
2 of us are still interested in the concept and we are currently thinking about returning with a slightly different spin on the concept.

My doctor though is not favor of BQ returning.

Shame as I enjoyed the reviews as you guys did a really good job detailing the little nuances of each burger. How often were you all dining on these types of meals outside of the reviews?

[DoubleK]

I'd never have known about some of those burger joints if not for that website.

I look forward to whatever concept you come up with.

Had the Cowtown burger at Black Betty yesterday at lunch.
Pretty solid burger overall. Pretty thick burger, thick bacon, cheese, and sauteed mushrooms.

Held together quite well and bun didn't fall apart which was impressive.

The other option is to get Lifepak to sponsor your website.

The funny thing is, the myth of his death is pretty understandable. I mean, unless he was in the bathroom puking immediately after winning some of those challenges, I am not sure how he is still alive. He's kind of a mystery of science. I am kind of surprised the story of him dying was a hoax.

Silli Burger has a single location in Quarry Park. I thought it could have been something they could have franchised at one point but now I just think they are pulling the plug.

Has anybody tried the sliders from Wilkes Booth food truck? He's out of airdrie.
