Be prepared to shell out around $30 for the benchmark burger at this Financial District restaurant that's made with organic grass-fed beef and comes topped with garlic aioli, beet chutney, pickled onions, aged cheddar and iceberg lettuce.

Nothing goes better with the craft beer served at this Danforth bar than their epic burgers. The latter is always changing up with creative new ideas for "Burger Monday," but they always have their Dwayne "The Ross" Johnson Burger and their Bulgogi Kimcheeseburger on the menu.

The paradoxically named Basic Burger at this Danforth tavern is made with a six-ounce patty of house-ground hormone- and antibiotic-free Limousin beef served with lettuce, tomato, pickle and onion. You can also add sauteed onions or mushrooms, peameal or strip bacon, and cheddar, Swiss, blue or goat cheese for additional charges.

Though this Port Lands joint may be known for its barbecue, it's also got a great reputation for its Single and Double Stack Cherry Mac burgers. And since their specialty is meat, you know these patties are juicy.
