“Scarborough’s Most Famous Burger” – Johnny’s Burgers, Scarborough

Like many cities, Toronto has experienced a burger craze of late. Here’s a reminder that way before it became cool there was a place that dedicates itself heart and soul to the simple hamburger.

Going to Johnny’s Burgers can feel a little soup-Nazi-ish (don’t even think about losing your ticket) but the service is fast and the burgers are good.

“World’s Best Sandwich” – Schwartz’s Montreal Smoked Meat Sandwich

Get it cut medium or fatty with coleslaw and pickles. Most people drink a cherry coke with it but I prefer coffee.

“Most Uniquely Decorated Restaurant EVER!” – Elizir, Essaouira, Morocco

Walking into Elizir is like walking into the apartment of an eccentric collector; and to a certain extent you have. Owner and chef, Abdellatif Rharbaoui has decorated (some may say cluttered) his restaurant with art and nik-naks as objects d’art on every surface and in every corner.
 
The food was incredible, with the Squid-Ink Rissotto being my personal favourite. Abdellatif also introduced my girlfriend and I to a Moroccan red wine that was absolutely fantastic. If production levels increase, the Atlas Mountains could give the Andes a run for their money as the next new world IT terroir.
