It all started with a peanut butter chocolate milkshake. Pre-kids pre-marriage my husband and I used to dine at the original Works in Ottawa. It was something special. Now, more than a dozen years later, you see these super burger joints across Ontario. So when our kids request “burgers-fries-and-ketchup,” we head to one of Toronto’s two locations.
Our latest go-to is at the corner of Church and Wellington. Lots of choices on the kid’s menu (a few non-burger options too.) The servers always get the kids’ order going first and while they are occupied with the crayons and activities sheets, I can make my decision (there are about 50 gourmet burgers to choose from.)
By far the kids’ favourite? No surprise. A jr-sized peanut butter chocolate milkshake to share.
