GBS Review of April 2012
As time progresses, things keep on moving. That can’t be more true for the Great Burger Search. April 2012 saw the first ever vegan burger attempt by yours truly. While it did leave me wanting more, it did open the door to other non-beef burgers. So, in a little bit of an announcement for the start of Season 4, you’ll see the following: for burgers 160, 170, 180, and 190,...

6730 Cote-des-Neiges Montreal, Quebec Bus: STM 92, 160, 161, 165, 435 Visit: April 20, 2012 Part of my heritage demands that I find the places in Montreal that serve my kind of food.

The design I chose met all the needs of the GBS going...
