The love of his mom and daughter drives Chef Hudson Bernard to cook the best hamburger in Etobicoke.

Bernard is the owner of Supreme Burgers, one of the newest and most flavourable burger shops based out of a ghost kitchen in the area, rather than a physical location.

Bernard, who was born in Sri Lanka, moved to Canada at about the age of 10 and grew up in Montreal and Etobicoke.

He always loved burgers even while working as an executive chef, who specializes in French cooking, having worked in Montreal, France and Panama.

“I have been cooking for 20 years,” Bernard says. “I lived in South Etobicoke while attending college in the area.”
He says his burgers are based on the different countries in which he has cooked. They are loved for the use of fresh, high-quality ingredients, in which everything is made by hand.

His hamburgers, which are all under $10, have names like ‘The Godfather, The Chicken’s Godfather, Nashville Fried Chicken Burger and Butter Chicken Burger.’

The Butter Chicken Burger for $8.50 was tasty and juicy, with onion, cilantro and special Supreme sauce. It sticks to your tummy and is filling.

His skills are inspired by his mom, Juliette, from whom he learned to cook; and his daughter Zoey.

Juliette passed away from COVID-19 last year before she could meet Zoey. A fading framed photo of the two women provides the chef with daily inspiration.

“My mom never got to meet my daughter,” he says. “My wife pasted Zoey’s picture next to a photo of my mom so I could get them both in a shot.”

It seems that burger lovers are enjoying Supreme from the comments left online. “You can tell by the taste that the food is made from high quality ingredients,” one person wrote.

“You can count on me as a regular customer,” another burger lover said.

Orders can be made online using Door Dash or Skip the Dishes. The food can be picked up at Lockport Take Out at 20 Lockport Avenue.

Supreme Burgers can be reached by phone at 437-238-4347.  No dine-in available.
