Premier patties: The best gourmet burgers in Toronto

As we all know, Toronto is experiencing a burger renaissance. You can’t walk more than a few blocks downtown without hitting a gourmet burger joint of some sort, these days. That being said, some of the best burgers in the city can be found in restaurants that don’t specialize in anything but good food.
