Drew’s Evaluate
Mikey’s Smash is all about protecting issues easy with basic smash burgers. I went with the basic possibility: a single patty topped with American cheese, their secret sauce, specialty onions, pickles, lettuce, and tomato, all sandwiched between a brioche bun.

The burger itself was spectacular. The patty was cooked excellent, with crispy edges that gave it a pleasant chew, and the seasoning was on level. The combo of toppings introduced a superb steadiness of flavours – sharp pickles, contemporary veggies, and a creamy secret sauce that tied all the things collectively. One minor hiccup: the brioche bun was a bit greasy on the surface. It didn’t take away from the flavour, but it surely’s one thing you discover as you are taking your first chew.
The fries have been the true MVP, although – crispy, well-seasoned, and paired with a dip that stole the present. It’s the form of aspect that might simply stand by itself.
8.2/10

For this burger tour we enterprise down into Toronto’s Union Station the place pay a go to to Mikey’s Smash Burger. Simply because the title says, we’re right here to indulge ourselves to a different appetizing smash burger.
I opted for the Jalapeño Inferno – a 4oz chuck burger loaded with all the things Jalapeño. From spicy jalapeño jack cheese to jalapeño slices this burger can be topped with sriracha aioli, tomato, lettuce, and pickled habanero.
Taking that first chew I used to be savouring away on the juiciness of the burger, it took lower than 10 seconds for the warmth to kick in. As somebody with a low spice tolerance, the spice actually dominated my palate. Whereas my mouth was raging on fireplace, the flavours that I might distinguish helped to raise profile and ease the warmth of the burger, general.
