Alexandra Gill of The Globe and Mail compares two popular Vancouver-area burger joints, Modern Burger and The Tomahawk. Although Moderne makes a "seriously good burger that is moist and juicy, and tastes like real beef," the Tomahawk is the winner. "This is the best darn hamburger I've ever had the pleasure of devouring," says Gill about the Tomahawk's Simon Baker burger topped with sautéed fresh mushrooms, aged cheddar cheese, and Yukon-style bacon.

Moderne Burger's beef is much better, for sure. It's a perfect, beautiful, loose-packed unseasoned patty, tastily black on the outside and juicy on the inside. But I don't like their adherence to what they think is a perfect form. All you can get for sauces are mayo, ketchup, and their own sauce, which is ketchup, mayo and some chili sauce. I don't like any of the above on my burgers. I really do need to have mustard.

As for The Tomahawk, it's in North Van and isn't worth the trip. Vera's burgers are just as good, the variety of toppings roughly equal, and there are a number of locations to choose from. And the price is better.
