Vera’s Burger Shack

Vera's Burger Shack is consistently rated at or near the top of most "Best Burger" lists in Vancouver, so the bar for this meeting of the Burger Supremacy was set quite high. Vera's has a successful burger formula figured out, which has led to several locations around the city.



Given the CFL background of one of the Vera's principals, one would think that "Grey is Great" would be the doneness measure at Vera's. Refreshingly, we are greeted by a large sign explaining their "Pink is Perfect" philosophy. It may take a couple of minutes longer to prepare, but they produce a perfectly cooked burger.

The toppings sampled were all top-notch, especially the cheddar and bacon on the Canuck burger, and the onion rings were outstanding.

On the flip side, the BS group had two consensus dislikes: the overly seasoned (salty) patty, and the fries.

An overall score of 7.7 puts Vera's slightly ahead of Moderne Burger in our Burger Quest, with many adventures yet to come.
