Well, Halifax Burger Week has come and gone, and man was it a meaty adventure! This year the city of Halifax had 59 different burgers to offer for the week, and I managed to try every single one of them.

There was a perfect amount of veggies on the burger, and in terms of the bun, it had the perfect level of flakiness which made it have a great texture. This was a pretty good burger all around.
