Review: ‘Meshuggah’ Burger for the Band’s North American Tour
(Editor’s note: This review and all photos are by Steve Taylor.)
Toronto’s Slayer Burger—with three locations across Toronto—has introduced a limited-edition Meshuggah burger in honor of the band’s North American tour. And if you’re hitting up the Queen St. location, you’re just 17 steps away from The Opera House, one of Toronto’s legendary concert venues.
A staple for both local metalheads and touring bands, Slayer Burger isn’t just about the food—it’s an experience. The walls are decked out with guitars and murals of metal icons, while an all-metal playlist rages through the speakers. You could easily hear Pantera, Metallica, and Lamb of God back-to-back while ordering your meal.
The Meshuggah burger is as intense as the band itself—loud, aggressive, and unforgettable. Featuring two perfectly grilled smash patties, two layers of melted cheese, and an insane mix of flavors, it balances the savoury kick of a limited-edition dill mustard, the sweetness of pickled onion, and the rich depth of lingonberry bacon jam. It’s Sweden meets Toronto in the most brutal way possible.
For those looking to fuel up before (or recover after) a show, or if you’re in the neighborhood and looking for an amazing meal, Slayer Burger’s Meshuggah is a must-try—but act fast, because this beast is only around for the duration of the tour.
