Welcome to my 4th BurgerBlog.

This time I choose a fancy restaurant in Gastown.

I assumed that a restaurant that serves a $17 burger must be great.

The name of the restaurant I went to is " The Pourhouse" in Gastown.

It's not a burger restaurant but with the great experience I had with La Brasserie which is also not a burger restaurant I decided to give it a try.

"The Pourhouse" is located at 162 water street in Vancouver.

You can hit their website for more information and their menu http://www.pourhousevancouver.com/.

The atmosphere inside was pretty cool with old french music in the background.

The bar was full with people drinking and having great conversations.

The waitress asked how I wanted my hamburger done and I went with medium well as I personally like it this way.

After about 8 minutes as I noted on my second burger blog my hamburger arrived.

The $17 dish will came with a brown bag full of fries attached to it.

 

The burger came with a dash of mayo and the choice of a little cheese.

I personally would have added a few more ingredients to the hamburger but I wanted to go with the restaurant's dish with out any changes.

The hamburger was 5 ouches of brisket and chuck meat.

 

The meat was so flavourful that I could not put my finger on which part I liked more, the brisket or the chuck.

The bun was cooked well and the meat was cooked even better.

On an overall scale this was more of a culinary experience burger than a search for a perfect burger.

I found the meat to be so tasty that I would have had it all over again with or without the bun.

As some of my reader requested in my previous posts I will be starting a rating system from now on.

The Pourhouse burger gets 8 starts out of 10.

I will defiantly go back to the Pourhouse and try to add to a few more ingredients if the cook allows me.

Thanks for reading.
