Two Men, Two Burgers, Some Beer... The most in depth and comprehensive coverage about hamburgers, cheeseburgers, both with and without bacon in Montreal.
I'm not certain why opening the third Fatburger in Calgary is news, but then again, I don't really understand anything further south and west of the Erie Canal. However, I what I do want to know is when Fatburger is going to make it east and north of the Erie Canal.

These are definitely videos that should be dealt with by the Victoria Burger Blog, seeing as how they are from the Left Coast. But also seeing as how they haven't gotten much love I figured it wouldn't hurt if I embedded them here.
In today's episode our heroes Chris 'Zeke' Hand and Ryk 'E Coli' Edelstein analyze the burgers at Auberge du Dragon Rouge to death.

Seeing as how there ain't much local hamburger news here, I'm expanding the concept of the Montreal Burger Report slightly and now will occasionally present Burger Art that I feel wouldn't be hurt by a little attention on your part.
It's a 4" x 6" acrylic painting. Small, actually tiny. If I had seen it live and knew slightly more about Ms. Giraffe's work, I'd consider calling it a study. But since I haven't and I don't, a painting it is. As Ms. Giraffe writes, she supplies "the world with big eyed girls & their dreamy friends."
I'll take her word for it that this is an early example of her work. In the fullscale version it looks a little rough around the edges. ie there are gaps, smudges and her lines aren't as precisely delineated as one might expect. But this adds to the naif-like charm of the painting (study).
I can't quite figure out if Chelsea Cheeseburger is using the french fries as ski poles, or if she is holding onto them for support since it doesn't quite look like she is the most balanced person in the entire world. And given her expression, I venture a guess that she was either looking down a black diamond trail, or contemplating precisely how difficult that next step she was planning on taking is going to be.
Given that when this painting was made, Ms. Giraffe states that she wasn't in the happiest of moods, I'd also venture a guess that Chelsea Cheeseburger could quite possibly be a reflection of Ms. Giraffe's state of mind at the time.
On sale for $20, which is better than a bargain. And I don't make a single red centy (or any other money of any other color for that matter) off the deal.
USA Today went out and listed 51 burger joints in the United States. One is close enough to contemplate visiting, The Farmhouse Tap & Grill in Burlington, VT. According to Suzanne Podhaizer, food editor, Seven Days, they offer grass-fed beef, artisan cheeses, house-made pickles, and runny sunny-side-up eggs as toppings and more than 100 craft beers for your drinking pleasure. Although the idea of exposed brick and copper lighting fixtures along with a patio and backyard beer garden in a former McDonald's makes me wonder some.
Buried at the end of this press release was this sentence: "Canada’s red-meat industry, with more than $20 billion in sales, is the nation’s single-largest employer in the food industry." It made me go "hmmmm." I don't think I had ever heard the term "red-meat industry" before.

It'll be pretty easy to beat my score, as I got a big fat zero. But there's an online game out there called Fresh Burger that seemed vaguely appropriate.

Although I am not quite certain why anyone would really want to play a game about being a cashier at a fast food quick serve restaurant.
In today's episode Chris 'Zeke' Hand and Ryk 'E Coli' Edelstein arrive at Depanneur Le Pick Up order their burgers eat and leave.

If you listen closely at the beginning you can hear the snarky comments of other diners at Depaneur Le Pick Up react to our microphones. And if you haven't figured it out by now most of the clientèle of Depaneur Le Pick Up could be loosely classified as hipster-ish, which obviously means only one thing - Lainie must be nearby.

For the burgermatricians listening in it took 10 minutes for them to come take our order and 18 minutes for our first order to arrive. However, the second order arrived 12.5% faster than the first.

Over the weekend I went to Pataterie Chez Philippe on Amherst and had my first burger melt. and it was so scrumptious and delicious that I decided "to hell with the schedule" I needed to tell some folk and I needed to tell some folk now! That's where you come in. Thanks for listening. I kinda sorta had to get it off my chest before it burst.
Now first off I hear you asking What's a Burger Melt? Easy enough to answer, A Burger melt is is a hamburger where you replace the bun with not one, but two grilled cheese sandwiches. Kinda sorta like a three decker sandwich, but not quite.
Second off, I hear you ask, what's it taste like? Easy enough to answer: As I said earlier, scrumptious and delicious. You should have been paying attention.
Third off, I hear you ask Where can I get one? Not so easy to answer. As of this instant I do not know of any restaurant, casse croute, greasy spoon or other fine dining emporium in Montreal that has a burger melt on its menu. But I do know that if you ask nicely and politely (don't forget to say please and thank you) there are some wonderful burger joints that will make one specifically for you.
Now you need to be careful, it is my understanding that not all burger melts are created equal. As with your standard issue hamburger a truly delicious and scrumptious burger melt should be made wth freshly ground beef. But that's where the similarities end - yours truly demands that a hamburger be almost plain, just a dab of mustard, and if I am feeling adventerous and daring Maybe a pickle.
But a truly delicious and scrumptious burger melt needs, actually requires some rabbit food fixins as toppings and a whole mess of them too. Why? I hear you ask. Well it should be obvious, to cut through all the greasy goodness of course.
Face it, there ain't no way that two grilled cheese sandwiches and a hamburger can be called a light lunch or a snack. You're probably looking at something like 15 hundred calories with the majority of it coming from the fat in the cheese, the fat in the burger and the fat in the butter. mmm mmm mmm So you're gong to require something un heavy, like lettuce and tomato to balance that sucker out.
Also I would not recommend that you eat more than one burger melt per lifetime, but it is your life and you can do with it what you wish - I just know that burger melts are delicious but deadly.
Anyhows now that I got that off my chest, run don't walk down to Pataterie Chez Philippe on 1877 Amherst just below Ontario and ask for a burger melt, and tell 'em that the Montreal Burger Report sent you.
Yes, Brasserie T!'s hamburger is on the list, but there are some other things that come before it. In the meantime...
the patty was substantial and cooked properly to order)... Both meats were meatily flavourful, and the fries had a good outer crispness to inner softness ratio. The burger also came with a quality bun and condiments, including a slice of tomato tastier than M. Bertrand’s(!).
Although I suggest you read the whole post to put the comments in perspective, and see the pictures.
