Vancouver is a fantastic place to eat, with fine cuisines from all over the world available at every street corner. Anton’s Pasta on Hastings St. serves enormous portions of delicious pasta and has a line outside the door every night of the week. Stepho’s Souvlaki on Davie provides a very reasonably priced meal for with a line longer than Anton’s Pasta. Finding sushi in Vancouver is probably easier than finding sushi in Japan, with Samurai Sushi on Davie being a personal favorite. But there are times when none of these dishes will fill the hunger that builds inside. Times when something more hearty, more succulent, more cow-like is required. There are times when the only thing that will quench one’s hunger is a mouth watering hamburger.
Vancouver certainly has its share of hamburger joints, each with their own pro’s and con’s. Finding the best hamburger in Vancouver is what this series is about. I’ll be dining in all of the best hamburger restaurants in Vancouver over the summer, on a daring quest to proclaim the restaurant with the best burger in Vancouver.
I’ll be ordering a bacon cheddar at each establishment, or whatever similar variety of burger they have available. Each burger will be judged on the following:
1. Presentation.
2. Ingredients.
3. Bun quality.
4. Beef.
5. Taste.
Feel free to suggest a restaurant that’s not on the list, although I can’t guarantee I’ll make it to every single burger serving restaurant in Vancouver, just the ones that are notable for their burgers. Below is a list of all restaurants currently included in the Summer of Beef tour.
Moderne Burger, Vera’s Burgers, The Cactus Club, White Spot, The Red Onion, Splitz Grill, Burger Heaven, Milestones, and Jap-a-dog.
If you’re in the city and want to accompany me to one of these establishments please let me know. Otherwise, enjoy the series and enjoy your summer BBQ’ing.
