Crack Burger, Kensington

What people say, in short
Most people recommend Crack Burger, and many praise the burger; one diner who tried the jalapeño version says the toppings pair well with the patty. A couple appreciate fresh-cut jalapeños instead of pickled ones, though one notes raw jalapeños can taste harsh. Several people dislike the name, and a couple say it keeps them away. One diner finds it no different from typical smash burgers, one would add a pickle to offset its richness, and one found the poutine fries underseasoned.
