I don't fucking think so.

So WHY are the fuckheads behind the burger counter so afraid of putting more than one tomato slice on my fucking burger?

The tomato slice on my last burger was so thin there wasn't enough material do get a dna sample from it.

Plommer is used to the good ole days when greasy spoon restaurants and burger joints in Toronto were owned/operated by Greeks.

These Greeks were not afraid to put a quarter pound of tomato and or pickles on my burger without me having to beg for it.

I miss the Greeks.
 
Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives! Check in out on the Food Network sometime on a Monday and you see food that resembles the way the Greeks made it. The show consists of the host Guy stuffing his face! As I've gotten older those food shows are exciting!:yes:
 
Plommer,

I think there's a certain poster named tomato that has scared everyone off tomatoes.....

There are still a few burger joints in toronto that will honour your request. Try Johnny's at Vic Park and Sheppard, Harry's at Kennedy and Lawrence. There's one in Etobicoke but the name escapes me now. They are the real burger joints that will fill your burger with tomato pickle onions what ever the fuck you want.

You can thank me later

It's simple and old-fashioned at Johnny's Hamburgers. Drive-up to pick up your order to eat in the car, standing outside or at the picnic tables - but no matter what time of day, Johnny's Hamburgers is never be found empty.

Get a hamburger for $2.95, a cheeseburger for $3.35 and other burger joint specialties like hot dogs, steak/veal/fish on a kaiser, fish and chips, fries and classically-made onion rings. Dressings are moderate and the burgers themselves are standard - but no matter how few or how many stars it may get, it still is and will always be a sworn favourite to those in the neighbourhood.

The first time I went to Johnny's in high school, I thought I had stepped into a bizzaro-world likened to Seinfeld's soup-nazi episode - except this was my burger-nazi episode. The older man behind the counter gruffly asked me what I wanted, no free smile attached, quickly passing me on to an equally grouchy fellow to dress my burger. But man oh man was that burger delicious. So, what can I say, it's still a sworn favourite.

There will be a funeral all around Toronto when this place dies....... and the picnic tables are older than me I swear and according to MudCat I'm an old guy.
 
I was in the produce section yesterday getting a few things for dinner and I have to say I was disappointed. I forgot about this time of the year when just about every Veggie looks like garbage because nothing is in season. The tomatoes were barely orange, the Zucchini was tiny, even the mushrooms didn't look as good as normal. It really ruined my shopping and veggie experience.
 
I very seldom go out for a burger. I come from a long line of barbecuers so I make my own burgers - which are about as super deluxe as burgers get - and I put exactly as much tomato on them as I want.

I'm very cool that way.
