The Leaside Burger Battle is just one of the most innovative promotional ideas to come down the road in a long time. The eager chefs at seven local eateries challenge you to try their burgers, vote and send a dollar from the bill for each beef sandwich to the Hospital for Sick Children. Hey, it all works because they’ve given you 14 days to eat merely seven burgers. That’s only one burger every two days. You might sneak in a few more. Anyway “The Battle” is on as of Monday, August 11 and ends Monday, August 25, 2014. The Leaside Seven (alphabetically) are: Against The Grain Urban Tavern, Grilltime, McSorley’s Saloon and Grill, Originals Bar, Shoeless Joe’s, South St. Burger Co. and The Leaside Pub. Throughout the two week Burger Battle, the community is invited to visit the seven participating restaurants to eat, vote and support their hood. A dollar from every ‘Leaside Burger’ sold will be donated to HSC Foundation in memory of Georgia Grace Walsh. Andy Elder, owner of Grilltime in Leaside, came up with the #BurgerBattle as a way to connect the neighbourhood. “Leaside is a tight knit community filled with great families and great restaurants,” said Andy. “The Burger Battle brings the two together for a fun end of summer celebration.”
