afternoon lovely blog follower. You’re looking mighty swell today!
Got a bit of a double whammy here for ya today. So i was really feeling the need to get out of the office for a bit today, so opted to be a bad person (well at least from my arteries’ perspective) and grab some burg action. I know they get too much love on here, but due to convenience ended up again at Quesnel A&W. IMO most convenient place in all of Canada to grab a burger! Anyway, enough of the love fest, let’s get down to the biz.
So I decided to rock a coupon which got a Teen Burger and onion rings for $6.50 minutes or so. A&W rings are kinda “meh”, but if you ask for a side of their chipotle mayo and use it as a dipping sauce there’s a new found awesomeness. The combo is so good, surprised that its not a default type upsell that they offer. I’m sure someone at A&W must realize what they’ve got there. Anyway, that’s the tangent.
The burg is while we’re all here. The teen is A&W’s offering that’s aligned with other full traditional burgers like the BK whopper. Has the works so to speak: lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese, bacon, pickles, ketchup, mustard & mayo. I generally like this style of burger and view it as the quintessential contemporary burg.
So, this burger was kinda offset, but I think it had nothing to do with poor assembly, just a transportation issue. After a quick tweak we have a brilliantly assembled burger.

First few bites were really pleasant with little bits of all of the ingredients ending up in every bite. I found that insufficient mayo was used in this particular one though, and was missing the creaminess that typically cuts through the strong acidic elements of this particular burg. Also, someone got a little carried away with the onion – asspiles of it were buried under the patty. One of the tomatoes had too much core, and they both were really mushy. I don’t think i can put too much weight on the tomato flaw strictly due to how hard a good tomato is to source in northern Canada in the winter.
overall, I got to say it was a well done burger. Hats off to the folks at the local Quesnel two mile flat A&W. Solid burg that hit the spot despite a few flaws.
