Sex in the City-themed burger joint set to open in the GTA
Tired of lustless greasy spoons? Sexless salads? Frigid fries?
Well, you're in luck. Sort of... "Pink Burger" (warning: turn down your computer's volume before following the link) is coming to Bathurst and Wellington (in Aurora) and promises to be "more than just a piece of meat." A good thing too; I hate when I go out to eat and all I get is food.
Pink Burger promises to bring the Vogue to the everyday eating experience with "Diamond Girl" martinis and salads named after the four Sex and the City characters. (I bet the "Samantha" one is super-easy to digest).
A "Mr.Big" spiked shake is also on the menu, because milk products are best enjoyed when paired with subtle sexual allusions.
Pink Burger is set to open September 15. Oh, and just to be clear, this is not a joke.

GTA is short for Greater Toronto Area...
Also, I fail to see how this is sexy. It just sounds like a Little Italy lounge for the suburban crowd, which is to say, a run-of-the-mill Little Italy lounge.
And "Pink Burger" just sounds undercooked.
worst website/branding/concept ever
are we sure this isn't from 98?
llllame
gee i wonder what pink really means!
is this a meat market of some kind! ha!
Meaning - dressing up as Samantha and going to restaurants like this don't make you any less of a looser than walking around in a Chewbacca costume.
Anyway, it's not a Toronto-style lounge, it's a suburban style plaza-dwelling eatery - in the same vein as Pita Pit, Quiznos, that Asian fuzion takeout chain, etc. And it does seem to be by the same people as Wild Wing.
If you check out the picture of the interior on the Chowhound thread, it's definitely not high-end. It looks more like a Quiznos, with a different color scheme, and because it serves alcohol I'm guessing it'll be sized more like an East Side Marios.
In other words, the usual suburban shit trying vainly for a more urban cool aesthetic.
Also, the fact that the slogan is "More than just a piece of meat" coupled with the pictures of high heels, luscious lips, a girl in underwear with hand cuffs, a girl in underwear and high heels... really. So you're more than just a piece of meat? What's the last book you read (Don't say Shopoholic), who is you're favourite artist, do you volunteer in your spare time? Seriously, this place angers me.
But so true.....or if they order the RED Chardonnay..heheehe
Yeah, I don't think I'll be eating there.
[Oh my lord I cannot believe I just typed that.]

Alright, back to discussion of this ridiculous new burger joint.
I live a few blocks away and I'm always game for a new burger joint, so I was anxious. Bottom line, not good at all.
The burger is mushy with NO flavour at all and the sauces are generic at best. The fries taste like a batch from New York Fries, but way underdone.
Now, my real beef (pun intended) is the scam on the "make your own" burgers....they charge you for ANYTHING over 4 toppings! I had to pay $0.69 for mustard!!! (I have the receipt to prove it). I don't think that ketchup, mustard, mayo, pickles and onions is an order that warrants a "premium" surcharge.
Anyways, I could forgive all that if it was a great burger....but it's not. Save your time and go to Licks or South Street....both are infinitely better.
