Best Onion Rings I've Eaten in Toronto

For years I had to go with Apache Burger on Dundas. How could you not? They were big, with a great basic batter and plenty of sweet onion taste (my guess would be vidalia but I've never asked). And truth be told - these are still my favourite when eaten with a burger.

But as a standalone treat, I've found myself choosing a spot a 10 minute walk south of there on Kipling; Gourmet Burger. If you go to their website - http://thegourmetburgerco.com/ they have plenty to say about their burgers - its a burger joint after all - but not much at all about their rings.     Its unfortunate, because as much as I do love their burgers - and they are in my top 5 in Toronto - their rings are tops. They use a really great beer batter that truly compliments the onion flavour resulting in a snack worth tasting on its own. I think I've had these about 4 times in the past 3 weeks, rarely making it past the Kipling location without popping in for an order.
