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)
