The food appeared to be fresh made. That place HOPPED when it first opened. But he last couple visits were less busy. There are dozens of similar burger joints up and down Portage Avenue.

Ya. When the Burger Factory first opened, their burgers were fantastic imo....big, juicy with just the right amount of grease...

...after a while....they went to being inedible.

Go to the one at Panet & Nairn then (behind BJ Toys)

Great place...PLENTY of grease...nice Greek family running the place.

Well, it's not called the "GYRO Factory" Smile)

I had tried their Gyro once...wasn't impressed, more messy than tasty.

Their hot dogs aren't bad though...all-beef...and HUGE.

No argument here. Although aren't most restaurants in Winnipeg owned by Greeks? Very Happy

This is true.

These two ethnic groups seem to be able to cook just about every other type of ethnic food in the world.

Well, maybe Ukrainian food is a bit too understated. My mom's pretty heavyhanded with the garlic. This is also true. She makes a mean spaghetti though!

I can guarentee you your mom still does not use enough garlic. I go through about 4 heads of garlic and 1.5 jars of minced plus the the big jar of powedered about every month.
My kids were sucking on raw garlic at about 3 months old.

That's pretty impressive use of powdered garlic! We don't use nearly that much. My mom also doesn't buy minced.

I give.

Many Asian dishes are HEAVY with garlic. I think garlic transcends all boundries.
Ya' just gotta' make sure ya' don't burn it.

I dunno, you might get hit by a car sitting on Corydon, best to enjoy them at a sidewalk bar.
