I only heard about Five Guys Burgers and Fries because U.S. President Barack Obama made a surprise stop at one of their Washington, D.C. locations last year.
A couple started the first Five Guys — named after their sons — in Arlington, Va. in 1986. There are now more than 700 locations in North America.

So once again, a restaurant occupies the doomed corner of Memorial Drive and 10th Avenue NW, where other eateries have tried and failed. This time though, I hope the BottleHouse Beer Parlour — despite the cheesy name and font — gets a chance.
First of all, the space is huge, so there’s no cramming elbow to [...]

Hey, Wolverine, [...]
Buchanan’s is a shrine to malt whisky, with a vast wall of more than 200 bottles behind the shiny, wood bar.
I don’t know much about scotch, but I know about burgers. And Buchanan’s makes some good ones.
Because they use Grade AAA 100% sirloin, you can get your burger cooked to order. Rare, even!
My medium-rare, [...]
Whenever we visit Edmonton, we try to satiate cravings for things we can only get there. Last time, I won with my urge for satay pho, so it was definitely Jason’s turn to pick.
He was dying for … Burger Baron. The closest one to Calgary is in Red Deer, but there are more than a [...]
Oh, to be going to university in Ottawa now where there is a gourmet burger chain called The Works (just three blocks from where I used to live!), as opposed to schlepping down to the McDonald’s for a sad little cheeseburger…
The location we went to was packed on a Friday night, but perusing the [...]
