The Living Room Restaurant's Alberta Beef Burger

This burger from The Living Room Restaurant in Calgary makes the best-dressed burger list in Alberta, according to John Gilchrist, a restaurant critic for CBC Radio. Andrew Keen, executive chef and co-owner of the restaurant, swears by extra-lean Alberta-raised Galloway beef, but these patties are tasty with any ground beef. Unusual additions, such as miso, capers and sweet gherkins, give the burgers a complex, full flavour.
