Burger w/grilled onions was wonderful, EASY to see why it is in the top 5 listed. ^ The egg challah bun is very good and fresh

The Merkt's cheddar fries, made with REAL CHEESE, not cheese sauce crap were great. They taste better as the cheese cools a bit. I prefer the regular crinkle cut fries as opposed to the seasoned fries.

A black cherry drink was a refreshing change of pace from my usual ice tea or lemonade choice.

As traffic was horrible on the Kennedy I was unable to join my FT brothers and sisters at Carmine's.

but I did have some burgers from Paradise Pup in a picnic setting today (thanks to the nearby forest preserve) with Mrs. Sweet Willie and our new pup.

They were just as good as last time and again at 11:15am it was packed.
