The Rosie from Rosie’s Burgers

This Toronto burger shop plans to open its first Calgary location in November (stay tuned for an opening date). The menu will be the same across locations, so you can expect smash burgers, two chicken sandwich options and sides like fries, poutine and onion rings. We’ve got our eye on The Rosie burger (featuring two smashed patties, lettuce, tomato, cheese, Rosie’s Sauce and pickles), and you can bet we’ll be adding an order of Dad’s Banana Pudding for dessert too.
