The Kenzington charisma is like no other in toronto. A whole day can be spent walking around in the diminutive district, and with plenty of alluring food options along the drag you are sure to manifest yourtself in the market all day. So many places I will have toi return too! Almost thinking about doing a series on it! We'll put a pin in that one tho. Onto the review! The Burgernator stole my attention once I walked by it with intentions of eating elsewhere. It takes a lot to pull me off a plan, especially when we are talking about food. Lets jsut say i am very thorough when it comes to the research behind where I am to eat. The outside look of the place was very simple. It lacked the commercialized appearance of "frozen, fast food burgers" that hadf me convinved that a very memorable burger was to be bunned before me. 1 very cool thing about this place is that they offered up Cards Agaisnt Humanity Playing Cards at the register so that you could play while you eat, The connection must be the black and white colour cordination the two present, or because who doesn't love this game? For this review i will try to incorporate some of the cards I pulled out of the basket into this review! The options seemed intriguing to a degree. Burger options had toppings that included onions rings, chicken strips, pineapple, and even deep fried cheese (Probably the b'dazzler of all the options) As I was about to make my order for the Atomic Burger (Beef patty, deep fried herb crusted cheese, sun-dried tomato aioli) I was captivated by their "Burgernator Challenge", Even tho this was nothing more than just a name to describe the size of the burger I still was compulsed to order it. Like being offered road head. It is not something you ponder about, it is something that once heard you throw down your money and let the harmony commence. Order was palced with a side of french fries. They offer poutine and other jazzed up french fry varieties, but I figured because I was already getting the Burgernator Challenge, I would take the poverty potato as it is. The Burgernator Challenge - 3 All beff paties with grilled mushrooms, onons and signiture sauce all between two grilled cheese sandwhiches. It definetly came out as a show stopper. Familes would look and eye dart towards the burger I had in front of me. point and whisper to their children taking a moment from child abuse and instead taking in the Rankor replication in burger form. The burger was super hot whern it came to me, like Nicholas Cage on fire in Kick-Ass kind of hot, Giving it a moment to cool before I sank my teeth in. And.... lots. Of. Chewing. After my first bite I held my eyes close and shook my head in disapointment for the toughness of the meat. Maybe it was the fact that I ordered a burger with three patties, that came out scolding hot and continued to cook eachother as it sat in front of me, or something else behind the ordering table. I could tell that the meat was pure beef with no added fillers, because the burger was jsut falling apart on me as I transported it from plate to mouth. By the end, the crumbles of meat on my tray seemed as if there was a raptor attaack had taken place. As for the grilled grilled cheese buns. There was a lot of bread and not enough cheese. They used very big burger buns fhat they swished down to make a grilled cheese. And only 1 slice of cheese for each sandwhich. The ratio was like stormtroppers to jedis. Too much bread, not enough melt. The french fries themselves were just B.L.A.N.D. BLAND! No seasoning. No crisp. No interest. Maybe their fry game is greatly improved once they add their gravy and sauces to it. But I am a big believe that a french fry should stand out on its own. For what it's worth, the burgernator has the right idea for making some awesome burgers, but the execution of cooking ithem is just short of perfection. Over cooking the meat and preparing bland fries shows they are still in a mystery of what makes a good burger. Like the female orgasm Burgernator....its not that complicated. But hey I am just one man with one opinion! Feast for yourself and tell me what you think of The Burgernator if you ever go there!
