Breakfast and Lunch

September 23rd, 2007 · 2 Comments

Yob Burger
Yob Burger (smoked Gouda, bacon, roasted red peppers and roasted garlic mayo) :: Kuma’s Corner, Avondale, Chicago

Today I accidentally double-booked myself for brunch. .. well, less like I accidentally double-booked myself and more like I planned to meet Margaret, Jim and Chuck for lunch at Kuma’s Corner at noon and then Dallas’ dad came into town last minute for the game tonight and we had breakfast at Wishbone at 10 a.m. So, I ate breakfast and met up at Kuma’s Corner, but didn’t have anything except a couple Two Brothers Brewery Dumaine DuPage beers. The menu said they were a good alternative to Fat Tire.. and they were. You should try this beer if you like Fat Tire.

Hate Beak Buffalo Chicken

The photos here were taken at Kuma’s Corner. Jim had a plain burger (zzzz), Margaret had the Yob Burger (smoked Gouda, bacon, roasted red peppers and roasted garlic mayo) and Chuck had the Hate Beak Buffalo Chicken (spicy buffalo sauce, montery jack cheese, butter lettuce, tomato and red onion on a pretzel roll with a side of bleu cheese dressing). Actually, I think all of the burgers were on pretzel bread. Seemed like everyone liked their food.

Sadly, no one had The Goblin Cock, which looked to be a half pound burger topped with a quarter pound hot dog, pickles, sport peppers, cheddar cheese, bacon, pico de gallo, relish, onion, tomato, and celery salt mustard. And I guess you shouldn’t even think about asking for ketcup. Or ketchup either, perhaps. If anyone ever wants to try The Goblin Cock, let me know because I think a photo essay needs to be made of that experience!

And this is Chuck’s new bracelet, which he got with this promotion. It’s only cool because it’s actually retarded and Chuck is and ironic hipster. Kidding!

Eric, Lincoln Park, Chicago

My coworker Eric is moving to New York and last night was his going away party. Eric grew up in Boston and he and Laura moved to Chicago a couple years ago when Eric started working at FeedBurner. As you can see he loves the Boston Red Sox. The bar that we went to, Tripoli, is a Red Sox bar that Eric frequents. Last night many, many, many buckets of Miller High Life were consumed. Too many! But Dallas and I had a great time. Best wishes to Eric and Laura for the future.

Tied for the Lead

Cubs Vendor, Wrigley Field, Chicago

On Tuesday night Jen and Chad invited us to go to a Cubs game. Dallas has been in Des Moines this week so Danny was my stand-in boyfriend for the night. Um. Kidding! The Cubs lost and it left us tied with the Brewers for first place in the division. I’m not actually sure what the standings are now.. I think the Cubs are ahead?

On the walk from the train home tonight I ran into Laura on her bike and stopped to talk to her for a minute. When I continued on walking, on the corner of Roscoe and Wolcott, there was a guy with a cart and an umbrella giving out free cups of ice cream.

Nice MySpace Spam

MySpace Spam
Roscoe Village, Chicago

Are my fellow citizens of Roscoe Village so dim that they would pay $200 to get on MySpace? I mean, it’s so easy to get on MySpace that it’s actually a challenge for some to keep their kids off of it.
