Most Memorable Burger Experience:
Yo' Mamma's in The Big Easy, aka New Orleans. It has an hour long wait after the Mardi Gras parade but so worth it. The greatest, sloppiest peanut butter burger in the dive-iest of dive bars surrounded by enthusiastic parade poers and participants alike. A food memory I will never forget.

Most Memorable Burger Experience:
Favorite burger experience would be walking into McDonald's with Kyle MacQuarrie and each us ordering 10 double cheeseburgers and a Coke zero and watching the heads of the kitchen staff pop out to see who did it.
Food, Beer & Video Game Lover.
Most Memorable Burger Experience:
Many, MANY fond memories mixing up various fun and sometimes strange ingredients on a warm summer evening, heating up the BBQ and then smoking out the neighbourhood with epic burger grilling, well in to the night.

Most Memorable Burger Experience:
I have eaten many... M.A.N.Y. Burgers, but I prefer making the most obnoxious combinations I can think of in my own kitchen. Usually with 1lb of ground beef, stuffed with cheese, topped with cheese, and between two grilled cheese sandwiches. Loaded up with bacon, red onions, crunchy romaine, tomatoes, candied bacon, avocado, and what the heck, MORE CHEESE. Pair it with a light beer (need to watch the calories after all) and finish with a hint of regret overshadowed by satisfaction. Good idea to have no plans afterwards.
Volunteering junkie. Food pornographer. Do gooder.
Most Memorable Burger Experience:
We were eating at The Works in Ottawa after a softball game and one of my teammates dared me to try the "Sk8er Boy", a burger dressed with peanut butter, jack cheese and bacon. Never being one to turn down a challenge, I ordered it and LOVED it!
Small, Sassy & Social Foodie.
Most Memorable Burger Experience:
1996 Jabal Al Noor in Dubai, U.A.E. A fried egg, hot sauce & fries made their way into what we know as a basic burger. Well ahead of their time for a small joint in the middle of the sandpit.
Roundhouse kicker. Yogi. Twisted sense of humour.
Most Memorable Burger Experience:
I've had some pretty great burgers in my life, but my dad's are the most memorable. I think Sunday dinners are pretty special for many families, and ours is no different. I have had countless homemade Sunday night burgers over the years. Sometimes simple and fresh ingredients is best-you can dress your burger up or down to your liking.
Most Memorable Burger Experience:
Last year I tried the amazing "Alberta Blue" from Farm Restaurant. The Dragon's Breath blue cheese and Blue d'Auvergne made me realize that I actually do like cheese on my burger!
Fueled by Burgers
Most Memorable Burger Experience:
I love burgers, but I love exploring new versions of food too. I still remember the first time I had a Loco Moco in Hawaii. Hamburger. Rice. Gravy. Egg. Four of my favourite words when it comes to food. I'm here to discover something new and different.
