Flip And Relish

One thing I don't find lacking in Halifax is an abundance of great burger places that are a cut above the usual fast-food chains. Here's two of them...

Flipburger in Clayton Park (but they do have a new location downtown.)  Bright and cozy.

Relish Gourmet Burgers on Quinpool Road.  This chain started out of Fredericton, NB.  The Halifax location opened about a year and a half ago.  Industrial-modern chic.

At Flipburger, I tried the Maui Wowie.  From the menu: "Apple wood smoked cheddar, caramelized pineapple, Oulton’s double smoked bacon, fried onions, roasted red peppers and sweet chilli sauce."  You guessed it.  I am the designated contrarian in our family who insists on ordering Hawaiian every time we decide to have pizza...and who always gets out-voted too!

At Relish, I went for The Great One.  From the menu: "Cheddar cheese, bacon, roasted garlic mayonnaise" with a 100% certified Angus beef patty and cole slaw on the side.  Yes, it's hockey season! :-)

So which one is better?  You be the judge!

It's obviously a tie! :-) 

So which burger place should we try next?
