Never change, Chicago.



Quote
Riding the bunnovation bandwagon that birthed the ramen burger and the doughnut burger, Chicago's Rockit Bar & Grill recently debuted a Mac Attack burger. The "bun" for this particular concoction is just patties of deep-fried mac and cheese. Rockit will only be selling these bad boys through Sunday, but if it's a hit — and given the state of the American diet, why wouldn't it be? — expect to see knockoff Mac Attacks popping up around the country soon.
I can't believe I even know these people. I'm ashamed of my internet life.

Searched for Au Cheval but didn't find it mentioned. Their burger melts in your mouth. Outstanding.

Why the fuck would you name a burger joint Au Cheval?  Are they having a laugh?

According to the internet:

Quote"Gosh what was it that really said Au Cheval to me?" he muses. Not surprising, the ubiquitous egg was the first thing on which Sodikoff focused, frying through roughly two cases of eggs until they achieved their goal: no color, tender whites and well seasoned. Even its moniker which translates to "on horseback," is slang for adding an egg.

I'll just say that getting there at 5:45 justifies the beating Chuck is taking.

I've still never been to Kuma's, and it's mainly because their wait is nearly as legendary as their burgers and I just haven't yet properly planned for it or decided to put up with the wait.  I mean, 5:45?  That's like the scientifically-tested optimal time for getting the most people to show up for dinner at the same time.  What a Soriano!  Did you also bring the kids so they could ogle all of the naked ladies for 4 hours?

wait, what?

You wouldn't laugh if you'd had their burger.

They just opened an M Burger on Touhy, across from a Five Guys. Which would you rather?

Has anybody else been to Kuma's Too?  I remember the burgers at the original location as being unbelievably good, and what we had this time... wasn't.  Perhaps my memory's playing tricks on me, but the burger I had on Diversey was really good... and not more than that.  Did I catch them on an off day, maybe?

I went there with several fellow morans a while back, and I found the Slayer to be as good as it is on Belmont.

A few weeks ago I ate at the Kuma's BACK IN THE SUBURBS and it was outstanding.  I was actually a little disappointed when I first had Kuma's at the original locale on Belmont a couple years ago--perhaps the anticipation got the best of me or maybe it was just an off day for the cooks-- but in any event my experience at the one in Schaumburg offered redemption, strip malls be damned.
