Most of the tables were reserved for 6:00, and people came in and then left around 5:20. They may have been able to handle a few more seatings.

Special this week was the perogy burger. Great burger, but make sure you leave the toothpick in as long as possible.

Getting to my car after the game I found the lot was well lit, and there is access to 18th ave to hop right onto MacLeod Trail south. Definitely a great pre-game option.
Good to know! I didn't even know Naina had a second location. I was still going to their Ogden location during the summer. Will stop by the next time I'm in that part of town.

Had a burger from Dragon's Lair Burger in Westbrook mall today.

Don't walk, run, and go try one. Amazing burger.

We're leaving for Mesa on Saturday so I'll be able to scratch the Fuddruckers itch again. I couldn't be happier for myself.

I had my first ever Whataburger in Texas the other day (just a regular cheeseburger). As far as fast food burgers go, it was really good. Kinda reminded me of In N Out animal style, but the size of a whopper.

Honest question, but if Fuddruckers was good, why did it fail so badly in Calgary?

That location maybe? Or maybe I've just been around too long and it only seems like there's high turnover in that area.

EDIT:
Spoiler!

Fuddruckers hasn't done well in many Canadian cities. Maybe it didn't translate well to Canada, but it was a pretty uninspired burger as I recall - at least the one in Kelowna was. I have had friends who loved the one that was in Saskatoon, so who knows. Different tastes, but it honestly tasted like a store bought frozen burger patty, and the bun was institutional. The only good points were the fresh toppings, but that's not unique point anymore, it's pretty expected.

I didn't fail badly it was sold to the guys that put in Jack Astors.

Damn after seeing this thread I've been craving a good burger all day but there are no good places here. I'm going to to this place next week http://thebutchers.club/burger-hk/ in HK.

Gonna try the WuTang Style burger...burger fried in spiracha with cheese, kimchi and tempura sweet potato.

Question for the burger aficionados.

Do you prefer your toppings above or below the meat patty(ies)?

Toppings for me are always above the patty. I believe the only thing that should be below the patty is a piece of lettuce so it doesn't make your bottom soggy.

You can put toppings below the meat patty but then you will have to eat the burger upside down.

Above. How is that even a question? What anarchist puts his toppings below?
Had some great burgers in Austin. Apart from whattaburger, which is only ok, the local favorite is P. Terry's. Very similar to Shake Shack and I highly recommend it.
Also got my Jack in the Box on....why no one up hear is doing a sourdough melt is beyond me.

Funny you should ask that, I noticed that is the way they assemble burgers at in-n-out yesterday. I thought it was the first time I saw a major chain do that.
