Hello Folks, Fans and Freaks!

This week’s story is about a little place where you can fill up your bellies. It’s found at Britannia beach, in Ottawa, Ontario.

Baja Burger @ Britannia Beach

The atmosphere at Britannia beach is something like a little piece of California. I had been on an excursion with my class of Spanish kids who were in Canada learning English for the summer of 2010. We stepped off of the public transit into a beautifully landscaped environment. The water was warm, the beach sand was hot! The girls were in bikinis and the guys had rented out a volleyball net. Let the fun begin! I first layed out on the beach with my lady friend to get our tan-on.
After several hours had passed, and we had both fallen asleep, we noticed that all of our kids had taken it upon themselves to ride the bus back home to the city as they had class early the next morning, responsible kids.
For us older folks, the night was still young! We walked over to a little area that had been newly formed a couple weeks prior to our arrival. Baja Burger! This quaint little corner consisted mainly of several tables and chairs with a light airing of latin music pumping through the speakers. At the counter we met the owner of the business who was more than eager to have us try their famous burgers! After having a great conversation with the man, we were sold! A short wait in the shaded patio was well worth our time. The burgers came out wraped in neat little packages for us. The burgers were made of only the finest AAA Angus meat and were cooked right before our eyes on the barbecue! Delicious does not even begin to describe the intense flavours that poured through the juicy tender morcels that were each bite. I’m not sure what spices or seasonings, if any, were put into the burgers but they were absolutely the best that I’ve had all year (and I am a BIG fan of summertime bbq burgers!).
The toppings were of our own choice, and yet they managed to put in a little something extra, and since I cannot quite put my finger on it, it must be said that the extra ingredient was love. A love for creating the greatest burgers this side of Ottawa! If ever you have the chance to get out to Britannia beach, I must highly recomend that you try out Baja Burger, you may stay for the shade, but you must love the burgers!
