Firstly, gotta give Max credit for the quote. Get Smart. Twenty minutes prior to pick-up, to my arrival, Boy Wonder informs me he just wants to grab a quick burger before heading home, says he wants South St., tells me the location as well. Initially feel somewhat disappointed, fuck I was thinking after finishing my day, I’d be setting my fat fanny down at any number of great Toronto restaurants, staying for awhile (with any luck, a long while), and enjoying a few beers along with my meal. Boy W saw it differently, and after he mentioned his desire for cheap-eats was actually getting excited and psyched myself about finally getting an opportunity to try ‘n taste the great burgers at South St. that lately I’ve been hearing so much about. When I arrive, point out and mention to him that to get there we’d have to backtrack, something I wasn’t keen on doing. No problem he says, there’s one in our direction, just up the street too. This is the heart of uptown Toronto … Yonge and Eglinton … parking is very difficult anytime of day even at the best of times, let alone rush hour. Driving around in circles unable to park, I frustratingly drive away thinking another lost opportunity, South St. would have to wait!! Luckily, as if the burger Gods were watching over me, driving up Yonge a spot became available  … a mere block away. Stepping out of the car, exactly where I parked, I (we) see this other burger place, Gourmet Burger Co. … what’s this I say? Boy W tells me about it, hasn’t tried it yet, but says he wants to. Today’s as good a day as any I figure, quickly arriving at our decision, we bail on South St. (unfortunately) and walk in!! Glad we did, burger was really good too, so sorry South St. but you still have to wait!!

Paying upfront at the counter meant no tip was required … make no mistake, this really is a fast food joint. We even split the fries … AND … we didn’t even order drinks!! Wanna talk about being fucking frugal? This is it!! This is as cheap as you could get for two!!

Love how these tiny little places ask for your name, as if they’d lose track of the orders. Place probably seats twenty at fucking best, lol … Christ, he even brought it over … you’re gonna ask my name and write it down … at the very least give ‘Dan’ a shout so I could go pick-up my order, lol!!
