    It sadly no longer exists.

    Back in the day there was a restaurant called Lick’s in Toronto. They had an assembly line of people with loud 50s music and them singing whist they assembled your order. It was so much fun.

    They had burgers that were actually burgers compared to any other chain. You could actually taste the meat! My favourite side was called tater’s and cream. Fries in this yummy white sauce that was slightly sweet but creamy with real bacon bits smothered on top with chives. They also had an amazing turkey burger.

    They had other unique items on the menu but I forget them.

      Twenty years ago I lived across the street from Dick’s on Broadway. So many late nights ended with stumbling a few yards for a greasy bag of Dick’s. Interestingly enough, my former residence is now the Capitol Hill light rail station. But thank the good lord Dick’s is still there.

    There’s a small chain in Wichita Kansas called Bionic Burger. The double with cheese and fried onions is the most reliable way to introduce someone to that true Americana flavor. Side of fries and a cherry malt, it’s not something you should eat but damned if you don’t enjoy every second of it.

    Double teen burger from A&W.

    Has enough meat with the double patty, and has all the toppings like onion, pickle, tomatoes, lettuce, cheese, etc.

    My current favorite one is a “local” (it’s available nationwide though) one called Vicio, which means addiction in Spanish, I tried them because they opened a store near me and had a sign saying “We’re called Vicio, and we cook burgers, you can imagine the rest” which I thought was pretentious, and decided to test them, but they’re really good burgers.

    Before those I would have said my favorite was Five Guys ones, still do but haven’t had them in a while. And before those I used to like a local gourmet burger place back in Brazil.

    My options are severely limited since I don’t eat meat, but The Habit makes a really nice veggie burger. They have one of the fake meat burger brands as well, but those honestly make me gag a little with how greasy they are.

    I don’t remember the last time I had a fast food burger. And I would like to keep it that way. Thank you.

    The kebab shop down the road makes burgers too and they’re better than everything I’ve had from one of the large chains while still distinctly feeling like junk food.
