M:brgr, Montréal



Montreal's Best Burger A cab driver told us about M:brgr and we owe him big. M:brgr has an incredible menu with many choices. First there are the meat options: AAA, organic, or Kobe. Then you have 20 toppings: caramelized onions, grilled oyster mushrooms, asparagus, grilled salami, pulled pork... And don't forget the eight different types of cheese: goat, smoked gouda, brie... And if that's not enough you can add foie gras or white and black truffle shavings. We went with the smoked meat burger (AAA and ground smoked meat mixed into one patty) and a AAA with caramelized onions and brie. Well, did we ever love it. The smoked meat burger was juicy tender and smoked meat salty. The caramelized onions were a perfect touch, as was the brie, on our second burger. They have a full bar so we enjoyed an excellent ginger mojito and a dirty martini with the brine and olives frozen onto a skewer like a popsicle - great presentation. My sons' eyes popped out of their head when they saw their drinks - a caramel shake and a rootbeer float. Their drinks were awesome. M:brgr has made it onto our list of Montreral must-eats. Note: a new M:brgr is open in Toronto.

Rosie's Diner - Rockford, Michigan - July 2009



Classic Diner I first heard about Rosie's on the TV show "Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives" (DDD). Rosie's was a lot of fun. It certainly was comfort food. We enjoyed the roast beef with gravy and the beef with noodles. Their beans were good and the mashed was great. Delicious shakes as well. They make a dozen or so freash pies daily. We tried chocolate peanut butter and cherry - both were delicious - the pb pie was the best we ever had. They have three diners on site. One is a bar and the other will soon become a gift shop. There's even a diner themed mini-putt out back.
