The WORKS Gourmet Burger Bistro located at 60 Wellington St E in Toronto

Before we ventured into the underwater sea world at Ripley’s, we went to The WORKS Gourmet Burger Bistro at St. Lawrence Market for some sustenance first. I wasn’t particularly hungry so we decided to share a burger. The WORKS Gourmet Burger Bistro is just one of several The WORKS burger joints in Ontario. It was my first time here even though I have passed by this intersection of Front Street and Wellington numerous times. Continue reading →
