The Best Burger Ever...

Okay so I know that this will be a post of some debate but I wanted to share with you guys and gals the best burger I've ever eaten... And to be totally honest the first time I walked into this burger joint I wasn't expecting much. The place is called Vera's and there motto is "you can't beat Vera's meat." I always thought this slogan had sexual connotations but I guess I might just have my mind in the gutter... anyway they have many locations in the lower mainland but the only one I've ever been to is the location of Commercial Drive in East Vancouver... I think because I love East Van so much it may also effect the taste as well.

I think I've been to Vera's about 5 times in my life and I've ordered the same burger every single time. The 4 Cheese! Its a single patty with provolone, feta, cheddar and blue cheese. And then any of the usual topping you can think of... I get ketchup, mustard, mayo, Vera's Sauce, lettuce, raw onions, tomato, hot peppers, hot sauce, pickles and BBQ sauce on my burger. But you can also get pretty unique stuff put on it if your willing to pay some extra dollars... the items include Roasted garlic, fried onions, fried mushrooms, Jalapeno bottle caps, shredded cheddar, feta cheese, salsa, guacamole, bacon, Mediterranean Mix (black olives, feta & sundried tomatoes Blue cheese, provolone, fried salami, fried egg, a scoop of chili. So needless to say you could get pretty creative and come up with some original combination on your burger...

But alas, I like to keep it simple and for me it works... and until Vera's goes out of business or I die I will continue to swear by it as the best burger in the world... and just to let you guys know... I've eaten at some pretty legit burger joints. Here is a list of the burgers I've tried...

(okay, okay so my list isn't as legit as I'm claiming and for a foodie its pretty brutal but... Tommy's is also the shit so I wanted to somehow put it in my post...)

The list goes on and on but those are possibly the best... Oh by the way I know Carl's Jr. isn't really legit but they don't have them in Canada as far as I know... and I think of all the mainstream fast food chains they try the hardest to make a legit product. And in closing I want to leave everyone with a couple photos of my last visit to Vera's in hopes of inspiring ya'll to check it out!
