the works burger





The Works Burger in london is to die for. their burgers are juicy and thick. no no, mr. mcdonald, you may satisfy my hunger at 2am (because you are just too conveniently located 5 minutes from my apartment) but you are no match for these gourmet burgers. cc and i ordered a large strawberry milkshake ($9.28), NOT knowing how large was large. at whopping 4L, it was enough to keep us full even before the burgers were served.



the burgers are live fire grilled and cooked like a steak. they are HUGE! i had the Fajita Burger ($12.13). it comes with caramelized onions & green bell peppers, salsa loco & jack cheese. cc had the original best seller, Smokey Mountain ($12.80) made with smokey bbq sauce, jack cheese & bacon strips. all the burgers' patties can be customized: beef, chicken breast, turkey, veggie, portobello mushroom cap and even domestic elk. the burgers come with a side from a choice of: fries, sweet potato fries, spicy die-cut chips (these are REALLY good), mashed potato, salad or coleslaw.

i have a small mouth and eating this big burger was bit of a challenge but thankfully they provide a knife.

another time we went to the works, we ordered the Tower-O-Rings ($9.69). it was just amazing. the breaded onion rings come in a stack, crispy and delicious, plus fun to eat. they are not too greasy either.

the server said it will take about 15-20 minutes for the burgers to be crafted. good thing we had some appetizers. i was starrrrving. i was surprised to see Windsor Spitfires Burger on the menu. there's no works burger in windsor!!! anyways, the works burger will be opening in toronto soon. i can't wait!
