Oh Boy Burger Market

Cincinnati Style Chili & Spicy Boy Burger: (J) Chili had no beans and was very meaty. Burger had jalapeños, spicy cheese and rocket sauce(?). It was pretty good, but I found the meat in both items a bit salty. (S) Yea, everything was salty. I really really liked the meaty chili though (maybe even more so than the burgers).

Lamb Burger & Sweet Potato Fries: (J) Burger had strong blue cheese. Fries were fresh and hot. I liked how they gave us a big bottle of water. (S) I had to scrape off the blue cheese, it was way overpowering that I couldn't taste the rest of the burger. We wanted onion rings, but they were out, boo.

Champagne cocktail, chicken skewers, meatball, battered shrimp, spanakopita. (J) My favourites were the shrimp and spanakopita. Cocktail was nice and fruity. Unfortunately I didn't get to try a meatball. (S) Spanakopitas were the best! I could have had so many, but I didn't want to spoil dinner. I didn't get the try the battered shrimp.

Soup: carrot and ginger soup. (J) Tasted exactly how it sounds. (S) Exactly. I liked that it was nice and thick.

Salad: Boston bibb lettuce with oven roasted tomatoes and bocconcini cheese, basil and balsamic vinaigrette. (J) I liked the texture of the cheese. (S) I liked the sweetness of the vinaigrette and the tomatoes. I've never had to cut my lettuce before though; that was fun.

(S) I liked the mushroom sauce on the chicken, and it wasn't dry. (J) I liked the sauce too. I thought the croquette would be fried and crispy, but it wasn't.

Beef Entree: 8 oz beef strip loin with a thyme infused red wine sauce, cheddar and bacon potato croquette, cauliflower and green beans. (S) The beef was so nice. I liked how it was tender, and the gravy was really good too, I dipped everything in it (and so did J). (J) The sauce made the meat tasty.

Poutine Plus

Poutine: large "Tree hugger": caramelized onions, mushrooms and roasted garlic oil, with vegetarian gravy. (J) The sweet onions with the poutine confused my taste buds.
