This Spot On burger is a smashing sucess

I usually balk at a $20 burger. And if it’s $23.50, forget it, even with some nice fries.

But a happy-hour (Thursday 2-5 pm) deal that knocks $5 off the price is enough to get me in the door of Spot On Kitchen & Bar, next door to Mount Royal University in southwest Calgary.

I’m here to try the celebrated Super Dave (the cook, not the stuntman) smash burger: two hefty AAA Alberta beef patties loaded with cheese, grilled onion and mushrooms into a valiant brioche bun.

It’s a large, messy, juicy affair; one of the best smash burgers I’ve devoured. Paired with a basket of hot of kennebec-potato fries, this smash burger was well worth the $18.50 cost.
