This year a new burger joint arrived on top of Burnaby Mountain at Simon Fraser University campus. That was Big Smoke Burgers - Hand Crafted Burgers. University students must like burgers to have a specialized burger joint at Cornerstone right by the bus loop. It is a spacious restaurant and a fast food ordering. They have hand crafted burgers and beer.
The menu has an assortment of specialty burgers from chicken, veggie, beef, and lamb. Sides include onion rings, fries, poutine, or a side salad. Combos are the obvious option where you can have your burger of choice, a side (exclusive of the green salad) and a drink of water, Boylan's soda, or a fountain drink.
I decided to try the lamb burger with jalapeno harvarti cheese and mushrooms. Delicious! It is nice to be able to create your own burger and choose onion rings to go with it. It's an affordable option to hang out with friends at SFU.
Now I wouldn't be able to have a burger and onion rings everyday but on the odd occasion with friends, it sis a nice treat and a winning combination.
Dear Vancity Girlfriends,
The university school year has ended so has the Student Velocity subscription box until August 2016. Even though universities run summer semesters, it is less busy than in September. I have discovered the Canadian Student Velocity box a little too late.
Or it is perfect timing for anticipation for the busy September university life. There are two major universities in Vancouver and that would be the University of British Columbia and Simon Fraser University. There are many students both local and international who would love to have necessities shipped to their residence or doorstep.
Student Velocity is a care package subscription box with study snacks, school supplies, and lifestyle items for university students. There seems to be two different subscription box sizes, the Hatchling ($78 for 3 months) and the Raptor ($108 for 3 months) which also includes the shipping fee. These are quite affordable and this will be something to look forward to as the summer ends and it's back to school time for all.
