While looking for a burger place better than the iconic Peters' Drive-In, I spotted a small place on Edmonton Trail that seemed to have been there for ages. Considering it'd been around ever since I remember, I figured it was a likely candidate to try.
As I walked in, I was struck by just how '80s the decor was. Like walking into a time warp, I was now faced with old arcade games, pinball machines, and the old menu made of those individual black letters on a white board.
What caught my attention though, was the number of milkshakes, but that the ingredients were also out to throw people for a loop. For example, the Fat Elvis shake includes peanut butter, banana, and bacon. That's right, bacon in a milkshake. Turns out, I'd soon send a picture to friends, who took it upon themselves to create their own homemade edition, but that's my crazy friends for you.
The other thing I noticed, was the range of burgers, that contained everything from a pretty normal sauteed mushroom choice, to having hot dogs and fried eggs. That and up to 4 patties worth of beef. Shenanigans! I immediately thought to myself, I need to try at least one of these random assortments.
I settled on the Jebb's burger, which included a patty, two pieces of bacon, a sliced hot dog, cheddar, Boogie's signature red sauce, and 'all the fixings' (lettuce, tomato, and onions). What I received was a giant burger - not in height, but in width. Some people might like a thicker burger, but the meat to bun ratio for me was just right, and I enjoyed every bite.I'm definitely going to have to come back and try the other burgers here!
