Just west of Yonge Street, on almost-hidden Temperance Street, you'll find a humble, easy-to-miss little burger spot. More of diner, really. It's Original Motorcycle Gourmet Burgers, one of the many burger spots to open of late. Taking over the Spices Café spot (you won't have heard of it, but bicycle couriers made good use of it), Original Motorcycle is Fuss Cooper's latest endeavor.

The Original Motorcycle name is Cooper's trademarked label; beginning originally as a clothing design firm, the Indian Motorcycle Company reached outward to become the Indian Motorcycle Café at King and Peter. Alas, the mammoth-sized club/lounge/restaurant eventually closed in 2005. But the brand is back, this time in the guise of a gourmet burger joint at Yonge & King.

Though it's got the generic, grid-like layout and brick exterior of any number of squeaky-clean gourmet burger-and-fries joints, the OMGB space is cute as a button, and is a welcome addition to a culinary Siberia that is Yonge & King. But despite the pompous name, this little eatery has its work cut out for it. For one thing, it's almost invisible, on an almost invisible street. But more importantly, the burgers, while still quite good, are dramatically higher than that of other new "gourmet" burger spots.

The burgers are hearty here, though it’s wise to ask for them a tad rarer than you want them. The Philly is a steak burger that fared the best of the batch, as it is a generous 6 ounces of AAA sirloin. With mozzarella, grilled onions and sautéed mushrooms, the burger was a treat. As it should be, clocking in at $11.95 ($13.95 with fries or onion rings). The Double Cheese is quite average, with Jack & Cheddar and grilled onions. But the Tex Mex burger was a messy delight, with grilled onions, salsa and a heavy hand of guacamole.

The sweet potato fries are earthy and lightly dusted with salt without being overpowering. And the caramelized onion rings, perfectly fried to a crisp, are covered in rich batter shells that don’t shatter when you bite into them—good stuff indeed. Other entries on the limited but ambitious menu are seven Original Steak Burgers (with steak ground on site), seven free range chicken burgers, soups, salads, and "Fussy Wings".
