Lets talk Smash Burgers.

There are no shortage of places to grab a burger, but who has the best Smash Burger in your area?

Welcome to Grillies Bacon Cheese! The patty comes in 4 base flavours: Plain, medium. spicy or sweet bbq. My go to is the medium spice lvl. With the standard toppings

I mean you can make this thing into a monster if you choose with a fried egg, guac & sauteed onions and extra patty before you even add any of the other toppings.

Their onions rings are pretty damn good as well; my only complaint is the portion size for rings and the rings themself seem to be inconsistent size/ portion wise.

The burger is always made fresh to order, it's cheesy & juicy deliciousness, depending on how you dress yours it can be quite messy, but that's what you want when you're eating with your hands, a tactile experience for all your sense, the smell will have you salivating before your first messy bite!

The onion rings I rate 6/10, while they are good the portions seem to be inconsistent as well as the rings size . The Smash burger, I rate 9/10, the burger is always consistent with freshness and taste, only room for improvement would possibly the patty size itself.

Whats your Goto burger spot in Durham we wanna hear from you!

Growing up in Toronto's little India neighbourhood, I developed a love of India food and sweets.
I found a great local sweet shop here in Oshawa, Mithaas Sweets & Restaurant now I can get my fix for Gulab Jamun without needing to drive to Gerrard Street in Toronto.
Their Gulab Jamun are 7.5/10, I think the only way they could be better, is if they were still warm and freshly prepared.
