The LFPress Burger in London

Howdy!

It looks like The Works Gourmet Burger Bistro not only got a hefty infusion of cash, because they are expanding like mad across Ontario, but also has a suave and savvy director of marketing.

For their London, Ontario location they got some local celebrities to name burgers, and as a consequence, one menu offering is going to be called the LFPress Burger, after the London Free Press, the local newspaper there.

You can watch an advertisement for the Works a video the London Free Press made about their burger by clicking on the link since they don't allow embedding of their videos.

Get m:brgr's $100 burger for ½ price

Howdy!

I would guess that the m:brgr location in Toronto isn't doing as well as hoped, they are discounting their product by 50% through Group Buy United. In the promo fodder, I get a kick out of the line "...cocktails mixed by an in-house mixologist." It makes me very happy to know that they have a bartender on staff.

A Monte Christo Burger

Howdy!

And the last one for today...

All Josh Ozersky All Day

Howdy!



If you haven't figured it out yet, I just discovered ozersky.tv.

Josh Ozersky makes a burger that Pat Sharpe doesn't like much

Howdy!

Pat Sharpe, a writer in Texas, went to a presentation by Josh Ozersky on hamburgers last week. And for the most part, wasn't impressed.

Watch and decide for yourself.

Voting by burger

Howdy!

The Royal City Record has a nice election story based around burgers. Apparently Burger Heaven, in New Westminster creates new menu items based on the leaders of the various political parties.

Personally I want to know what the results are.

... an endless banquet waxes rhapsodic about White Manna

Howdy!

I wish I could write half as eloquently as AJ Kinik does.

Another American Quick Service Restaurant Chain opening in Canada makes the news

Howdy!

it must have been a really really slow news day last Friday in Victoria, BC. The Times Colonist decided to publish an entire article about a restaurant that won't open until August at the earliest. And on top of it, it won't even be the first Fatburger in Canada.

Sarah Musgrave goes to iBurger

Howdy!

The Montreal Gazette's casual dining critic also went to iBurger and wrote about it. As you would expect her writing and opinions are slightly more cogent.

She says that iBurger is a "fair to good bet," and its burger is "very satisfying."

Burger Origami

Howdy!

Last month Everything Burger, as part of their Burger 365 project made some burger origami.

EverybodyKnows goes to iBurger

Howdy!

Again, I'm playing catch up. Last month Moody Jones went to iBurger. And, it was a "decent" burger.

Step into my Day does O'burger

Howdy!

Back in January Step into my Day wrote about her visit to O'burger on McGill. I discovered it while trolling around on Urbanspoon. Apparently she liked it.

Congratulations to Vera's Burger Shack

Howdy!

I've written about them before (here to be specific) but Vera's Burger Shack got voted best burger in Vancouver by the Georgia Straight, again.

Strangely, Burger Supremacy (A quest to discover the supreme hamburger in Vancouver, BC) only rates Vera's fourth. And neither Vancouver Burgers nor The Victoria Burger Blog have done Vera's, yet (BTW happy 3rd B'day to the Victoria Burger Blog).

Strangely Compelling

Howdy!

Even though I can't understand a word of German, I ended up watching the whole gosh-darn thing...

Christie's Carriage House Pub goes viral!!

Howdy!

We start with a post from the Victoria Burger Blog. Add in a YouTube video from The Zone and you have a magic recipe for internet fame and fortune. Go Christie's Carriage House Pub, go!

Another art exhibit I missed...

Howdy!

I don't what happened at the end of last year, but I missed out on another art exhibit that featured hamburgers! This one was in China, back in November. The Red Gate Gallery had a group show called 30 degrees, that featured Song Wei's Hamburger a fibre glass sculpture.

Pie Dude 46 eats a hamburger

Howdy!

Strangely compelling...

Not the top five burger scenes in film

Howdy!

Last month Burger Junkies had a video done about what they call the top five burger scenes in film. First they need to stop screaming.



Then they need to do some research.

It's the Big Kahuna Burger scene in Pulp Fiction.

Then they missed Falling Down



Better Off Dead (bad dub alert)

What's Eating Gilbert Grape

The Fast & The Furious



Pretty much all of Harold & Kumar

Mother's Day



The Pink Panther



Dumb & Dumber



Super Troopers

Half Baked



And my vote for best one... American Beauty



Although I'm probably missing something like 75 others.

Cheeseburger Art from San Francisco

Howdy!

My invitation must've gotten lost in the mail. But I just found out that 1333 Minna had an exhibit called The Good, The Bad, And The Cheesy at The Cassel Goorin Gallery in December.

Lots of pictures here, here, here and here.

Three from Bicky Burger

Howdy!
