I seem to be consistently surprised at how good the dairy delight fatboy is - its got quality and quantity - overall a rather enjoyable eating experience.

A tell-tale sign of a good fatboy? Messy hands.

I was impressed with the amount of beef present on this particular fatboy - as you can sort of see here.

Tthe fatboy in context.

Now that's just a good looking burger - and its a pretty good size too.

Sadly i don't get out to the south end of the city all that much anymore - but i decided to meet cormack for a fatboy after work. it was worth the trip - and it was surprisingly not that far from downtown. well it would have been had i not got stuck behind a stalled car during rush hour.

well st. bonifice might get all the glory when it comes to burgers, but st. vital has some pretty good spots too. here's one of them. Dairy Delight - 467 St. Anne's Road.

So I was on the Night Hawk radio show on CJOB with Lorne Edwards tonight. That's right - I was asked to sit in on a radio call in show because of this blog - odd eh? Neil came too, armed with his st. bonifice area expertise, and we chatted it up with the good burger loving people of winnipeg to find the best burger in town. I'd say Mrs. Mike's got the most votes (still to come to the blog) I have to admit though that when I found out it was going to be an hour long call in show about burgers i was bit hesitant (i don't really have what you might call a 'radio type' personality) and listening to the guest before me on the car ride over who actually sounded authoritative about the things she was talking about didn't help much either. (although i must say the fact that she was a nutritionist talking about reducing fat intake and other nutritionist type things was rather amusing) But it was actually pretty fun. I guess winnipegers really do love their burgers - there were a ton of calls and the hour went by way too quickly - there's still plenty to be said about winnipeg burgers so i guess its a good thing i have a blog. anyway i did get a list of a few places here in winnipeg i didn't know about and there was a lot of rural ones too so it looks like i'll have to make some road trips this summer. stay tuned.....

and just in case you're interested there is windows media version of the show on the CJOB website. it's friday may 25th at 11pm.

I got a request a while ago to start adding locations of the places I post on this site and i thought that was a decent enough idea so i am starting by doing a quick recap of the places i've been to so far (it's really just a kind of lame filler until I can manage to eat another burger with my camera on hand - but it should be soon - I promise)

so here goes - in order of appearance:

Dairi-Wip Drive-in
383 Marion Street, Winnipeg, MB R2H 0V4

Blondie's
969 Main Street, Winnipeg, MB R2V 2B7

White Top Drive-In
409 Manitoba Avenue, Winnipeg, MB R2W 2G2

Too many locations to list - if you live in Winnipeg I'm sure you can find one

Great Burger & Fry Co
290 Henderson Highway, Winnipeg, MB R2L 1M5

mmm, now there's a more palatable view. overall i'd say GBF does a tasty burger. it may not warrent a drive across town but as it is less than a block from my new house - it does quite nicely. (one word of advice though - the greek fatboy - not as good as you may think)

EXTREME CLOSE-UP WARNING!!!
if you have an aversion to grease don't watch.... wait a minute, if you have an aversion to grease you shouldn't be on this site so.... no apologies

Tastes good......

Here is the Great Burger & Fry Co. fatboy..... looks good.

So in honour of the fact that the weather is finally not cold here in winnipeg and - that jack bauer is awesome - i decided to pick up a fatboy at GBF on Henderson on my way to neil's to watch 24 tonight and get this blog going again after a long winter's hibernation. I should first apologize though for not getting all those comments posted - sorry - i would suggest going back through some of the previous posts if you're interested in seeing everyone's comments.
