what is memorable for me is my first experience at mrs. mike's. it's a drive in so we were eating in my car that day - think it was too cold to eat outside. when i was finished, i crumpled up the foil wrapper - which evidently had a little too much sauce left over - as it squirted all over my windshield. mayo and grease is surprisingly difficult to clean off glass, so i got to drive home with a nice view of grease everywhere. it was pretty cool. (and maybe a little disgusting - but whatever...)

don't get me wrong though - it's still better than most. size does count after all..... just not as memorable as it could be.

so the king burger is pretty solid - however, i have to admit it just isn't my favourite. something about the flavouring i guess. maybe it's the chili - i don't know. sorry winnipeg.

The King Burger. not a fatboy.... but 2 patties to make up for it.

The occassion? Steve and his buddy Sandy visiting from Scotland.

Mrs. Mikes

Mrs. Mikes - consistently one of the top 5 among local winnipegers - i figured it was probably about time i got it on the blog......

this video is unfortunately down for maintenance.

So, in honour of the monster burger, i thought i would try something a little different and post a video. well, before you get too excited, it's only a photo montage video, but still. Neil wimped out on the monster so he was regulated to taking pictures - and he took a lot, so i figured i might as well use them. It just so happened to be Hugh's birthday that day as well so he took up the challenge with me. I would however just like to point out, that these photos are in order - so yes, i did eat mine before Hugh even got to his second half.....

mmm, what better way of ringing in the new year than with 6 ground beef patties on their own loaf of bread. 

how could you not try that? it was new year's eve following a week of Christmas over eating, so really, i wasn't that hungry, but whatever..... 

As we walked in and sat down, i was drawn to the wall of photos of celebrities that i really didn't know, but in the middle was this.....

Just looking at this place - you know it's going to be great. As the menu says, "serving good food for over 46 years"

Ok, so it's been a year and a half since i posted to the blog, and i've been feeling pretty bad about that lately so..... i figured if i was going to start it up again - it should probably be something pretty fantastic. and i think i found it. the monster burger at the Red Top Drive-In. 219 St Mary's Road.
