A new twist on the veggie burger

Paul and I were reading this article in The Star about a place called J-Grill at Major Mack and Kennedy Road that has the distinction of being the only place in the GTA (so far) serving "rice burgers." What are rice burgers? It's a stack of tasty meat or veg sandwiched between two patties of sushi rice. Paul ordered the BBQ beef (which he captured a bit fuzzily with his cell camera above) and I got the "kinpira," which is a cold salad of carrots and cooked burdock with sesame seeds (below).

We added an order of potato croquettes (fried mashed potato balls crusted with Japanese breadcrumbs) that were to die for --- sooo good. The burgers rocked but our eyes kept straying to the huge bowl of udon soup that the girl next to us was slurping back at warp speed. I think we're going to have to go back.

J Grill's address is at the South East corner of Major Mackenzie and Bayview. Their Miso Ramen is the best in town too!
