Mr. Lew: As you know, ART:brgr is a brand new location in the Montreal burger scene. It was also the back-up destination for the guest review of the day. For this venture, I was joined by two very loyal GBS Twitter followers, Mania and Sabrina. I will say that this was probably one of the easiest burger locations to schedule. Even though the...

Guest Burger 3: Terrasse Lafayette
Burger 109
Click here for the original review
Mr. Lew: Terrasse Lafayette was a location that was suggested to me in the early stages of the GBS by one of my former high school classmates, Amanda. Amanda was also responsible for my above par visit to Burger 42 at L’Exception. Since she was the one who suggested Terrasse Lafayette, I decided to save that location for the right moment in...
New Features Announcement
Ladies, Gentlemen, and “Lew-sers” alike,
as you know, the GBS has a shelf life. I’ve been thinking of various ways to make the search last that much longer to ensure one and all the Montreal’s burger scene will be covered indefinitely. We all know that new places will open until the end of time, but not on a weekly basis. My current list will allow me to start a sixth...

Mr. Lew's GBS - LITE
I’m going to take this moment to introduce to you Mr. Lew’s GBS - LITE.
Recently, I removed all the picture-only posts from the regular site. I felt that they made it harder to browse all the “reviews” I place here.
However, I decided to create a “lite” version of my site, which will only contain pictures. The pictures will include links back to the main...
