Friday is the ticketed evening in Downsview Park. Saturday is the $6 burger pop-up in Liberty Village. They are separate events at separate venues; check Friday ticket details independently.
Two events, two locations
Start with Saturday’s $6 Oklahoma Fried Onion Burger: George Motz joins Burger Drops at its Liberty Village location on October 3, 2026. The pop-up starts at 11:30 a.m. and is first come, first served until sold out. Friday’s separate ticketed Meet, Greet & Eat is at The Barn at Zawadi Farm in Downsview Park; a Friday ticket does not include Saturday’s burger.
Motz is a chef, author and filmmaker known for documenting American hamburger history. His official biography lists The Great American Burger Book and Hamburger America among his work. The two-day format brings that burger-history focus to a Toronto restaurant pop-up and a separate evening conversation.
Choose Saturday for the $6 burger, or Friday for the ticketed conversation and the listed book-and-merch opportunity. Only Friday is described as ticketed in the supplied event artwork.
Saturday: $6 Oklahoma Fried Onion Burgers
The promotional graphic lists the burger pop-up from 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, October 3, at Burger Drops, 116 Atlantic Ave., Toronto, ON M6K 1X9. Each Oklahoma Fried Onion Burger is $6. Service is first-come, first-served, and the promotion says burgers are available until sold out. Inventory is the practical limit; the promotion does not promise a serving for every arrival.
The $6 price applies to the burger, not to event admission. The supplied details do not list reservations or a ticket requirement for Saturday, so keep this stop separate from Friday’s ticketed experience.
Check Burger Drops’ official updates for any timing or availability change before leaving. Arriving early may improve your chance of getting a burger, but no sell-out time is published.
Friday: Meet, Greet & Eat at The Barn
The Friday, October 2 Meet, Greet & Eat is listed for 5:30 p.m. at The Barn at Zawadi Farm in Downsview Park. The supplied graphic describes this as a ticketed event. It lists Burger Drops trailer burgers, local drinks and a fireside Q&A or conversation with George Motz and Greg Bourolias. Merchandise and signed books are also listed.
The poster does not show a price, booking destination or current ticket inventory, and we could not verify a direct first-party ticket link. Check Burger Drops’ official account for updates before making plans. Do not assume the Friday event is available, sold out, or the same price as Saturday’s burger.
What is confirmed
Burger Drops’ official location information confirms the Liberty Village address. George Motz’s official biography confirms his work as a chef, author and filmmaker, his burger-history projects, The Great American Burger Book and Hamburger America. The event dates, times, burger price and Friday programme above come from promotional artwork supplied to WTFToronto. We have not independently confirmed a separate event page, Friday ticket price or ticket availability.
The artwork is promotional material, not a documentary photograph of the burger served at the pop-up. These details reflect the supplied graphic and official-source checks made October 1, 2026.
Planning the two stops
At a glance: Friday is a ticketed evening in Downsview Park; Saturday is an 11:30 a.m. burger pop-up in Liberty Village. If you plan to attend both, allow travel time between venues and confirm Friday tickets separately. The Saturday Burger Drops location is not at The Barn.
