I've been working up to having a burger for years... I'm not a vegi but I just kind of prefer not to eat meat.
Well.... I ran across a burger so compelling in Chicago this past weekend that I had to have it!
The burger was at the Park Grill in Millennium Park, the giant bean sits on top of the structure that houses the restaurant.
Here is the description from the menu: Peppercorn Crusted Kobe Burger with
gorgonzola, balsamic grilled onions and grain mustard on a pretzel bun
Oh my goodness! This was so perfect since I love every single part of this - what put me over the top was the pretzel bun. I love pretzel bread and it's so hard to come by! They gave no hassle about substituting the fries that normally come with it for a mesclun salad. They had some great wines by the quartino, the Unti Dry Creek Zinfandel 2006 was a perfect match for the burger!
Their menus have a lot of great things. Take a look at the lunch and dinner menus. To my taste, stand out items are: the Apple & Fennel Salad with mixed greens, candied almonds, mindoro bleu cheese and cider vinaigrette; Thyme Roasted Scallops with edamame, tofu, radish, pea shoots and lemon-salt; and Pacific Dover Sole with crisp capers, arugula salad, baby artichokes and italian parsley.
