When it comes to weaknesses in food, burgers have always been at the top of our list. It is not just the multitude of flavours that fascinate us, but simply the combination of ingredients sandwiched between two buns. It’s incredible. And of course, our favourite part; the meat. So yeah, we’ve been to quite a few burger places as part of our quest for the best.

One of the places we encountered was Burger N’ Fries Forever, with locations in both Ottawa and Toronto. Their menu is catered specifically for each location, with a lot of dishes available in both branches. In addition, they have a secret menu as well and if you do your due diligence before visiting the place, it would pay off when you order one of their secret dishes.

As it was our first time, we stuck to their regular menu and ordered two burgers and one fries. The ones we sampled were The Original and The Spicy Bold BBQ along with their Elegant Fries. While The Original Burger wasn’t exactly bursting with flavours, we can say that at least the meat was cooked to perfection. It was juicy, succulent and soft and our tastebuds definitely got a treat.

There was a lot more happening with The Spicy Bold BBQ burger. The beef bacon mixed with the BBQ sauce was a wholesome combination and we thoroughly enjoyed the taste. It was neither dry nor compromising in flavour, so that was nice. Our only real critic with the burgers would be the size, as they are not exactly of a generous portion. It gets done in a few bites and we found ourselves wanting something perhaps a little bigger.

These ‘Elegant Fries’ found on their menu certainly have a classy dressing topped with rosemary and parmesan cheese. It’s not a mixture we’ve sampled before and we’re glad we took a shot with this one. The fries were the right amount of crisp was not oily or greasy in any way. The taste of the rosemary was a nice and light touch.

We can’t wait to pay these guys another visit and try some more options from their vast menu! Or even just for the fries, to be honest.

Happy food trails!

We’re probably a little late to the Salt party, but still better than never, right? The burger trend for Salt has been going on for years now, and it certainly doesn’t appear like it’ll stop anytime soon. But here’s possibly an unpopular opinion:

We did not find these sliders to be the worth all the excessive hype.

Are you judging us right now or secretly agreeing with us? Don’t get us wrong, it tasted really good, but after hearing about all the rave reviews on social media platforms, it just did not reach up to that level. In short, we’ve had better. However, we will say that we would have been missing out if we hadn’t tried it even once.

So, here’s what we ordered. We decided to go for the Chicken Cheetos Slider, and the Original Salt (with wagyu beef). The chicken tasted great, but there wasn’t enough portion of the cheetos and it lacked that spicy, tangy flavour.

The same could be said about the beef burger. The meat was well-cooked, but it was pretty much overpowered by the cheese and hence, was deprived of that succulent filling that is a trademark of sliders.

We visited the branch located at Kite Beach, and absolutely loved the ambience. Winter’s definitely the time to head out over there, but be prepared to find a packed place. It took us a while to get a proper seating. All in all, we’re glad to have tried out one of the much talked about food trucks in town.

For the both of us, burger is synonymous with comfort food. We just have to get our fix every once in a while and we’re always on the hunt for some awesome burger joints. One of these, is most certainly the Gourmet Burger Kitchen. For a first time experience, it wowed us.

They have convenient locations at Dubai Marina Mall, Mirdif and Financial Centre. After seeing a lot about this place, we were glad we had our own share of the fun.

The ambience and interior alone is quite quirky and interesting for burger enthusiasts. It showed that they were dedicated to their cuisine and making the diner feel right at home.

We began our meal with an order of their Hot Wings and Chicken Chilli Fried Bites. The wings were absolutely delicious, even if it did not match up to our level of spice requirement. The fried bites on the other hand, were a disappointment. There was no absolutely no flavour of spice or anything different about it, and we would not recommend it for even a one-time try.

Moving on to our favourite part; the burgers! In short, they were utterly delicious. Though they had a wide range of options to choose from, we went with one of their classics, the Jalapeño Overload. It was so good. Not only did they cook the meat according to our preference, but the mix of cheese and sauces was great. The other one we opted for was The Taxi Driver, also fulfiling for our tastebuds and cravings.

Happy food trails!
