On Highway 11, heading up to Ontario's cottage country, there's a great place to stop and grab a bite and ... you know... make a pit stop. :) Simple, good food at a great price - check it out if you're in the Georgian Bay or Muskoka region.

Ep 8 - Burgers!

Sunday Jun 28, 2009
Ubiquitous and delicous, burgers can usually satisfy at least two out of the important three: fast, cheap and good. But how far can we push the humble hamburger to be fast? We discuss our favourite burgers in this episode, and how a good thing can go bad when you expect too much out of it. Links of Interest:
