Harmony Lunch

Ahh Harmony Lunch...I remember working as an Intern in the city and my old boss asking us if we wanted to go eat at Harmony for lunch.  I remember quickly being like, "Helllll No" I am not going into that crackhouse...or something along those lines.  Then recently one day when I was browsing restaurantica.ca(which has now become a daily habit)  I found out that Harmony Lunch apparently has an incredibly greasy hamburger with fried onions.  Greasy Hamburger and Greasy Onions...hell yeah! I am there!  Needless to say it was on the list of thing that should be tried.

I decided today would be the day for the first experiment of the KW Food adventure I have set on. I called them at 7 just to make sure they hadn't closed on me, since it was Friday and assuming they are a big lunch crowd rather then dinner..  The friendly old lady said they were open till 8.

Ambience:
Parking on a side street in Uptown, I made my way into Harmony Lunch, as I walked up I could smell the fried onions in the air, and I was in heaven.  The restaurant itself is a simple old old diner and has not been updated at all but still maintains fairly good cleanliness.  What was awesome is as you walk up to the counter, you can see them cooking the patties and the onions right in front of you.

Service:
Fast food and a friendly elder lady to boot. Can't beat it!

Food:
Now to the best part.  As I sat waiting for the fried onion topped glory.  I noticed a sign that the hamburgers are actually original pork hamburgers.  Interesting concept that I have never seen before and very intrigued to try.  The patties were made fresh in front of you and was grilled on a flat grill so it sautes in its own pork juices!

The burger itself was absolutely scrumptious.  Great flavour and the fried onions were simply amazing.  The fries were cut shoestring and seemed probably frozen and not fresh but complimented the meal amazingly.

Greasiness:
If you are looking for a greasy greasy lunch, perhaps after a long night of drinking to combat that painful hangover, or looking for a nice indulgence once in a while, or possibly a Friday in my case, Harmony Lunch is the place to be.

Post #1: The Beginning!

Hello Blogosphere!

This blog is intended to drop some knowledge on all the classic and newest eateries in the KW. 

The reason for this blog came about one day as I realized, I love to eat out! It has been the biggest passion of mine since I can remember.  Everything from fast food to gourmet dining.  But, since being new to the area, I am often on the search for new and tasty food.  Then I went about asking myself what is the Best Pizza in the area? The Best Hamburger?, The Best Steak?, The Best Gourmet of the KW??!?

After looking around on the net for some type of resource, I found www.restaurantica.ca.  It has a few reviews posted for a bunch of restaurants in the area that I hadn't even heard of!  But alot of restaurants remain review-less.  Blam!! Blog Idea!

I decided I will be the one to single handly let the people of the KW know what is the best of everything and chronicle my experiments with the best restaurants(based off of restaurantica to start) for every genre of cuisine in the KW area! 

Join me on the adventures! My goal by the end of this is to have tried every restaurant in the Waterloo and Kitchener area!

I will evaulate each restaurant based off four criteria :Ambience, Food, Service, aaand the kicker: Greasiness.  My motto, the Greasier, the Better!
