burger time!

   a friend suggested Lockdown Bar & Grill for lunch today. it's similar to the more famous Kuma's Corner. i like the names of the burgers. i got the Hawaii 5.0. not the best name on the menu. there are some more "interesting" names. 10oz patty, grilled pineapple, braised pork, bbq sauce, pretzel bun. yummy. i still rank Kuma's #1 here in Chicago, but Lockdown can give it a run for their money. i will definitely return to Lockdown, as there are more burgers i would like to try, and some are 1/2 price on Tuesdays! now that i've had a few hours to digest, i do like Kuma's burgers a tad bit more. the one i had today isn't far behind, but there are other factors that add up. i like Kuma's house chips instead of fries. Kuma's menu is better and more extensive. Kuma's staff is pierced and tatted, which is important if you're into that (which i kinda am). and Kuma's was first. Lockdown plays like a copy, an imitation. not a cheap one, mind you, but not the original. but someone somewhere must've done it before Kuma's so i'm just nitpicking at this point. Lockdown has a bit more dining space inside and out versus Kuma's, is less crowded, and has the 1/2 price burger day. my verdict: a close 2nd to Kuma's and a good alternative to Kuma's when it's crowded, which is almost always.

burger time

i'm no longer on my Quest for The Greatest Burger

there are too many burger joints and restaurants doing burgers

i'll simply eat burgers once in a while and share with you on occasion

the above is M Burger. nothing special. but i enjoy it for what it is

you're probably asking, "where's the beef?" it slid down, and the lettuce isn't a giant chunk. it just bunched up

WGN News' Pat Tomasulo invaded C2E2 incognito as Batman and "battled" other costumed characters

C2E2 part 5 - Ben the Bubble Guy

a guy playing with bubbles. what's the big deal?

he makes some big ass bubbles

they look cool when they pop

it's real cool when he blows smaller bubbles into the bigger bubble

he injects stuff into the bubbles

and smoke

and poof!
