Review: This burger had a real, unseasoned ¼ lb patty cooked on a flat top. It was topped with processed cheddar. The toasted sesame bun was nice and the vegetables were pretty fresh. Rating: 6.6/10

Atomic Rooster – Burger
Review: This featured a hand-formed patty with a crispy outer layer. It was not seasoned. There was decent quality cheese. Vegetables were fresh. The slightly crusty bun was excellent. Rating: 7.5/10
Atomic Rooster – Poutine
Review: The poutine had real, standard-cut, skin-on fries that were perfectly done. The gravy was very beefy/good. There was an adequate amount of cheese, but it might have benefited from a little bit more. Rating: 7.8/10
Grillades Torino – Burger
Review: The patty was dense and pre-formed. It seemed to be seasoned quite a bit. The grill did add a little charcoal flavour. The cheese was standard processed cheddar. The brioche-style bun was probably the best part of the burger. It was pretty heavy on the toppings, which actually detracted a bit from the burger. …
Grillades Torino – Poutine
Review: This poutine was made with home fries instead of french fries. There was something off that just didn’t work for me. I suspect it was the heavily seasoned potatoes. The gravy was ok and there was a fair amount of cheese. Rating: 4.7/10
Rock’n Deli – Burger
Review: The patty had a nice charcoal smokiness and it was covered with a good amount of processed cheddar. The veggies were fresh. The sauce was a little sweet. The bun held up pretty well. Rating: 7.0/10
Rock’n Deli – Poutine
Review: This featured real, hand-cut fries. The gravy was a little too mild. The ratio of cheese, to fries, to gravy was good. I did get a couple undercooked fries, but I’ll take the trade off for real potatoes. Had the gravy been richer and the fries properly cooked, this would have scored MUCH higher. …
Bash’s Gourmet Food Truck – Poutine
Review: This featured real, skin-on fries that were pretty crispy. The poutine looked the part with dark brown gravy and a decent amount of cheese on top. Unfortunately, it was a bit of an illusion. The toppings were only on top. The gravy, despite the dark colour, was light in flavour. Rating: 6.8/10
Casse-Croute Limbour – Poutine
Review: The fries were pretty good. There was a good amount of cheese. The gravy had a bit of tea-like aftertaste. It was ok, but there was simply too much of it. It was way too soupy. Rating: 6.6/10
Casse-Croute Limbour – Burger
Review: This was a pretty typical chip truck/stand burger. It had a small, dense, well-done patty. It seemed cheesier than most similar burgers. The tomato was a little too thick. Everything else was just adequate. Rating: 5.7/10
