We’re now 12 burgers into the search for Edmonton’s best burger, and I’ve had quite a mixed bag when it comes to the results. I’d say I’ve had a few train wrecks, and a couple above average, but for the most part, the burgers have been nothing special. Certainly nothing I would consider outstanding to […]

Two Oliver area restaurants; one independent and one chain, go head to head in this week’s search for Edmonton’s best burger. Let’s see how they did, shall we?   The Common- 9910- 109 st The Common has some friggin legendary Chicken and Waffles; the best in town if you ask me, so I felt pretty […]

Finding the best burgers the City of Edmonton has to offer is not a task for the faint of heart, though your heart may be considerably more faint when you’re done. My YEG Burger Odyssey begins with this post, and will run until i’m sick to death of burgers or I’ve tried every noteworthy burger […]
