Calling all pesto lovers!
Bonobo’s Foods entry into this year’s Novemburger campaign is messy but tasty and, as I've heard many times on MasterChef, “taste is king."
Bonobo’s is serving up a pesto artichoke melt and this meatless creation features a seed patty with garlic balsamic aioli, lettuce, tomatoes, red onion, pesto, Thunder Oak gouda and crispy-fried marinated artichokes. This is all sandwiched between two halves of a Donato’s Bakery bun.
There are also vegan and gluten-free options available.
The pesto flavour stands out in this burger but the star is the crispy-fried artichokes.
I recommend several napkins as the burger was saucy.
This Novemburger doesn’t come with a side, but most people won’t need one. I do note though that Bonobo’s does have the best fries in the city.
But, that’s an argument for another day.
The pesto artichoke melt costs $13, not including tax and tip.
