At South St. Burger Co. every item on the menu is designed to be “Best in Category” – offering not only top quality ingredients, but the best taste as well. Our latest refresh of the South St. website helps the customer clearly understand this point of difference.
From naturally raised, 100% pure beef to fresh cut onion rings, serving real food with outstanding flavour is what sets South St. Burger Co. apart. To date, we have helped South St. launch 12 locations, and South St. Burger Co. is more focused than ever on ingredient quality, simple cooking methods, the customer experience and their obligation to operate responsibly and conscientiously. South St. Burger Co. is involved in each step of the process, from “farm to fork” to ensure that their mandate is fulfilled.
South St. Burger Co. believes that better beef really does make better burgers; that’s why they buy their beef from small co-op farms that practice conscientious and natural farming. The beef has no hormones, antibiotics, preservatives or filler. And, like the fries, these patties are fresh, not frozen. They are flame grilled and made to order giving them a juicy, home-made taste, and served on your choice of regular or whole wheat bun, which are baked locally and delivered daily. But it’s the company’s vast selection of toppings that truly makes it stand out. With a variety of real cheeses and over 25 free condiments, including unusual items like guacamole, wasabi mayo and mango chutney – your burger will be unique and outstanding.
For the complete South St. experience, add an order of New York Fries, signature poutine, or onion rings. All are hand made in-store from fresh ingredients and cooked in trans fat free sunflower oil. Hand-scooped milkshakes are made with premium ice cream from a local dairy. Side orders are treated with the same respect as the burger. Because of this, South St. Burger Co. believes it is unmatched in the Canadian burger business.
Telling customers about the food is only half the story.
When you eat at South St. Burger Co., you’ll get more than just good food — you’ll get a good feeling, too. Here’s a sample of the areas they impact:
- They use 100% clean, renewable electricity for five of their stores from Bullfrog PowerTM, reducing their stores’ environmental impact.
- Purchase local ingredients. Their beef, buns, potatoes, chicken, cheeses and ice cream, are all purchased locally; reducing their carbon footprint and supporting local farms and businesses.
- Employ grill hoods with high technology heat exchange ventilation systems so their heating requirements are reduced by more than 300 cubic meters of gas per month, with a carbon savings of 6.84 tonnes per year, per store.
- Use LED bulbs as 50% of their store lighting requirements, saving 4,400 KwH annually and reduces carbon emissions by 1 tonne, per store, per year.
- Use environmentally friendly, non toxic cleaning products and post-consumer recycled paper products wherever possible and practical.
- Changed to air-cooled ice makers from water-cooled ice makers eliminating 2,600 litres of water per day or 950,000 litres (950 m3) in a year, per unit.
- Installed a solar-powered water heater and solar electric panels in 2 restaurants so far, with plans to add more.
- South St. Burger Co. is committed to its support of both local and international charities and to continuing their efforts to reduce their footprint on the environment.
So while we have been busy designing their restaurants and shaping the customer experience, the folks at South St. have been working hard to deliver best in category food and limit their impact on the environment. Check it out at http://southstburger.com/.

Z-Teca Gourmet Burritos goes BIG
Filed under: Environmental Design, Eric — Eric Boulden @ 12:14 pm
Not only are the burritos at Z-Teca big but so are their ambitious plans to expand, with two restaurants opening within a month of each other in North Toronto. The first to open was at York Lanes at York University and has only seen “big lines”, it seems that the students at York U are craving the Mexican-inspired gourmet burritos of Z-Teca. Parents can now relax knowing that their offspring are being well-fed. The second location opened this week at Fairview Mall in Toronto just west of Hwy 404 and north of the Hwy 401. This location has gone big with a dominant exterior design program that is sure to catch the attention of traffic that is hungry for the rolled up goodness of a Z-Teca Gourmet Burrito. There are reports of traffic back ups everyday on the DVP, speculation is that people are heading to Z-Teca’s newest location.
Jump is excited to be a part of the development of these two latest restaurants and want to wish the team at Z-Teca continued success.
The York U. and Fairview locations are the latest additions to the restaurant chain including; 327 King Street West in Toronto, the Commerce Court and Gerrard St. E. locations and the Burrito kiosk at BMO Field during the Toronto FC season.

Extreme Web Development!

With a title like that, I bet you thought you’d catch a glimpse of one of our developers programming while base jumping, climbing a mountain, or skydiving…but if you’re a fan of the pita, we’re going one better. Hot on the heels of the launch of the Mucho Burrito website on Monday, we’re proud to announce that the Extreme Pita site, designed and developed by yours truly, has hit the internet this week as well. We had a lot of fun building this site, and hope you have just as much fun surfing it.
