Remember that last time when you ate something so often and so much of it that you swore you’ll never touch it again? I’d love to say that it happened to me when I went on a city wide quest to find Montreal’s best pho after slurping through over 30 bowls of it. But no, this elevated sodium and MSG ladened soup stupor opened some sort of heroine addiction like floodgate in me. I have since had pho at least once a month since – I know that is modest, a friend of mine once ate bananas everyday for three weeks, and now he can’t even look at a pack of Post-Its without dry heaving.

This is my second installment burger recipe that I’m writing in celebration of Montreal’s burger week. If you haven’t already guessed by the picture, it’s my version of McDonald’s own Quarter Pounder with Cheese… I’m joking, but you knew that. It’s the burger that has sparked a cult like following and devotion that can only be paralleled by Beliebers and One Directioners. As far as I know, this place is the only one in the entire city making and selling this burger… until now. Now you can make it at home! Mouhahaha…
There are a handful of places in the city that formidable locals will consider “institutions”; flying under the tourist radar and that Montrealers are proud to call their own. Be it restaurants like Moishe’s, Schwartz’s or the Orange Julep, or spots like the Tam tams on Sunday, that corner of the Guy Concordia metro underpass that always smells like pee, or spending a good part of your Saturday afternoon trying to cross the Champlain bridge; the city has packed with unique Montreal experiences that are unrivalled by any other city.
