Last week at this time, I was visiting lovely Nova Scotia, hanging out with my cousin.
He brought me to a relatively new gourmet burger joint called Cheese Curds in Dartmouth — so named because it’s also a poutinerie — near the Woodside ferry terminal and the famed John’s Lunch fish and chips shack.
On special last week was the Tex-Mex Burger, seen above. The hand-formed patty on a bun was topped with a slice of cheese, chipotle sauce, lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles and and sautéed vegetables (mushroom, onion, peppers). The sauce and some hot peppers in thr veggie mix gave the burger a slight kick. Very tasty.
My cousin also ordered this as well, but he swears by a bacon burger on the regular menu, to which he adds sautéed mushrooms.
If it’s still around on my next visit, I’d definitely go back.
