Why on earth anyone decided that they should use a maple lollipop as a skewer, I’m still trying to figure out. Does it somehow make it inherently Canadian? That aside, the Lumberjack is one hulking burger with eight ounces of meat, sriracha smoked bacon, and melty cheese to boot. Perfect for fueling up after you chop down some trees.

For most people, a battered and fried piece of haddock, sandwiched between a bun, is a meal in and of itself. But that wouldn’t qualify for Burger Love, would it? Add in a beef patty and some sesame daikon slaw, and you’ve got the Sailor Moo. I have to give it to them for that name too. Eleven points for creativity!

Thinking about consuming 16 ounces (that’s a whole pound, if you do the conversion) of beef is frightening enough. Once you add on the two types of pepperoni, ham, salami, donair meat, and bacon, there’s no telling how much this thing weighs. Kudos to anyone who manages to finish this one in a single sitting.

Hollandaise sauce on a burger. That’s all that really needs to be said about. Oh, did I mention the ham, fried egg, and naturally, and a whole freaking waffle sandwiched in there as well? Thankfully, Granville St. Diner opens at 7 a.m., so you can wake up and head straight there. You probably won’t have to eat for the rest of the day.

Pulled chicken, stuffing, and gravy sound like elements of a standard holiday meal, but not in this case. Rather, they are components of a (surely food-coma inducing) burger. Naturally, there’s some bacon in there, for good measure.

P.E.I. Brewing Company does its selection of beer total justice with this bad boy. To start, there’s beer in the patty itself. Stout is also added into the bacon jam, honey wheat into the mustard, the pickles are fried in red beer batter, and it’s all topped off with an ale cheese sauce. You may actually stand a chance of getting drunk off this one!

The name of this burger is almost as much of a mouthful as the burger itself. Any sane person would consider bacon-wrapped mozzarella sticks as an appetizer to share, or a meal on their own if you’re feeling gluttonous. Putting three of them on a burger though? And top it with even more mozzarella? AND a deep-fried sriracha cheese ball to garnish? It’s just too much to comprehend.

I’m trying really hard not to be overly dramatic here, but just thinking about consuming beef smeared with Nutella is bad enough, let alone adding bananas, maple syrup, bacon, and ice cream into the mix. This is definitely the “eat it for shock value” option of the bunch. Considering that last year, they offered a burger sandwiched between two ice cream sandwiches though, it doesn’t seem quite as bad.

It sounds kind of like a Chopped mystery basket. The  ingredients for the entrée round are ground beef, blueberry root beer BBQ sauce, gouda, pickles, and strawberries. I guess making a burger seems like the obvious choice?

Not really sure what Jose Bautista has to do with a Mediterranean-inspired burger, but I’ll run with it. It seems to be a common theme in this year’s competition to put various forms of chips (everything from dill pickle potato chips to Sun chips) on burgers, but Cedars takes the concept of carbs on carbs to the next level by adding toasted Lebanese bread. A creative way to add crunch, I’ll say!

In this competition, you have to remember that the garnish is just as important as the burger itself. There are some pretty ridiculous ones this year but a veggie pot sticker takes the cake. It even makes sense with this Asian-inspired offering stuffed with teriyaki bacon and ginger sesame slaw.

This burger had me at “grilled kimchi” (and housemade kimchi at that). Plus, they’re sticking with the Korean theme with their spicy Korean aioli and Korean barbecue sauce. I’m not sure if they realize that they are switching countries by adding crunchy chow mein noodles though.
