Acme burger is OK which is at Church And Wellesley but there's really nothing else there.

I agree. Had it for the first time in WAshington and loved it. Had it here and wanted to toss it.

Yeah Five Guy's is lame.

Stoked about the Priest being in walking distance from me in May

Also, on the topic of gourmet/expensive resto burgers, two come to mind:

Nota Bene

Jacob's and Co Steakhouse (available only from bar menu)

Another option would be to walk over to Gourmet Burger Co at 9 Charles St W (just of Yonge). Not amazing in a Priest/Holy Chuck kind of way but solid nonetheless and at least within walking distance

Leslieville's Joy Bistro has a great beef burger seasoned with London Pride Ale! Add some cambozola cheese and it's near perfection (for me at least!)

The better burger joints have a LCBO license.

Though, of course, in Germany, and other European countries, even McDonald's has beer and wine on their beverage menu.

Best "high-end" burger is at The Harbord Room...

I think i will stay away from Five Guys in Toronto. I will try Five Guys outside of the city and see if they are as good as the ones in the states. If its anything like The Keg and other restaurants, they are usually better outside of Toronto. I tried The Keg on York st recently, the food wasn't up to The Keg standards. My prime rib was inedible i had to send it back, the second cut wasn't much of an improvement. I think the complaints there fall on deaf ears, the place was packed with a 40 min wait for a table. The prime rib i had at the The Keg's in Oakville, Waterloo and Niagara Falls were all outstanding! Much better than the prime rib i had at the York st location.
