Lunch during the week usually means I’m eating leftovers at my desk, digging into a $4 Cobb Salad or, when it’s a special occasion like a co-worker’s birthday, I’m heading to a more civilized outing. On this day we walked a few blocks to a restaurant the birthday girl had been wanting to try, Globe Earth (1055 Yonge St.)
Of course we all want to know what the food was like. Read on for a look at 4 of the lunch dishes.

I recently traveled to Winnipeg for an overnight work trip, and whenever I visit a city — be it for business or pleasure — I like to do some “pre-production” and research the best places to eat. A little bit of trolling around Chowhound led me to the very clear conclusion, you can’t come to the ‘Peg without having a burger at V.J.’s Drive-Inn.

I’ve searched high and low for a meat-free burger alternative in midtown NYC. Sifting through the overwhelming number of restaurants and finding a delicious vegetarian burger is like trying to find a decent man in New York. Believe me, I’ve gone through my fare share of disappointing duds. But there’s one place that offers the ultimate burger that will entice all you carnivores out there.

UPDATE: Oh Boy Burger closed in Feb. 2011.
Being named Best Gourmet Burger in town is both a gift and a curse. Just ask Oh Boy Burger Market, who scored top marks in a Toronto-wide comparison by Amy Pataki of The Toronto Star, beating out Craft Burger, The Burger Bar, Gourmet Burger Co., W Burger Bar and BQM Burger Shoppe. On the plus side, business has been booming for Oh Boy. A co-worker went the day after the article came out, and they’d already sold out of burgers by 4 pm. On the downside, customers can’t help biting into their burger loaded with high expectations and a side of skepticism.
So do WE think it’s the best gourmet burger around? Read on for the verdict.

A hot, lazy Saturday afternoon in Manhattan brought me to Shake Shack, an all-American snack bar located in the lush picturesque Madison Square Park on 5th Avenue. Open since 2004, New Yorkers and tourists alike are lured by the mouth-watering menu featuring delicious burgers, Chicago hot dogs and cheese fries. For all you vegetarians, the ‘Shroom Burger ($6.50, shown above) is to die for. A crispy, fried portobello patty filled with melted muenster and cheddar cheese, topped with lettuce, tomato and Shack sauce on a griddled potato bun.
This can only be complimented with one of Shake Shacks creamy frozen custard milkshakes (described as “what happens when soft serve shacks up with premium ice cream”). Try strawberry or better yet, if you’re visiting New York, opt for the black and white flavour. The Shack even caters to four-footed friends with the Pooch-Ini, a chilly vanilla custard with a peanut butter biscuit topping.
As warmer days become longer, so do the lineups. Be prepared to wait… and wait…and wait, possibly an hour or more. It’s important to go with friends, it’ll help pass the time, or better yet check out the Shack Cam. A live look at what you’ll be up against. Seating is limited and a bird actually missed pooping on my burger but ask me if I would do it again and the answer would be “Hells Yes!”
