Review of Restaurant:

• What did I think of the burger/service/overall?

Salty, salty, salty. The burger was so salty. I also heard this from my co-worker. They suggested that I try the other burgers which is less salty. I just got a $100 gift card to Holy Chuck so I plan on visiting this joint again in the future to try their other burgers.

• How did my sensitive stomach feel?
  

Stuffed to the max with the double cheeseburger and fries. Luckily I survived this battle and will press onwards with more burger battles at this place.

City of Toronto Inspection Report

I will only mention the significant infractions.

September 12, 2011 - Three significant infractions
1. Fail to ensure presence of holder of a valid food handler's certificate
2. Fail to post the eating and drinking establishment license adjacent to the food safety inspection notice
3. Fail to store food on racks or shelves

June 14, 2012 - Two significant infractions
1. Fail to ensure presence of holder of a valid food handler's certificate (How long does it take to get a certificate?)
2. Fail to store food on racks or shelves

June 5, 2013 - Three significant infractions
1. Fail to clean toilets as often as necessary (They were too busy serving the burgers that they forgot to clean the toilets. Normally you would expect this in a Chinese restaurant, not a Western place)
2. Operator fail to ensure cover will prevent contamination or adulteration
3. Operate food premise-mechanical equipment not maintained to provide sufficient chemical solution rinse

So many infractions but they were mostly corrected during inspection.

VERDICT: My stomach survived for another battle at Holy Chuck.
