White Castle on the Menu for Daytona 500 Watch Party
A yearly tradition for the Daytona 500: I go to Hlavs house and watch with his entire family. We throw in $5 & pick drivers out of a bowl to add a little excitement. Yes, there’s a trophy involved: The race ran smoothly until the last 20 laps – then it was fiery crash after…

T-Shirt Dustup at Bulls/Bucks
Met my cousin Sean, a Milwaukee native & Bucks fan, and his buddies at Billy Goat to pregame for the Bulls/Bucks matchup at United Center Monday night. Knocked back some double cheeseburgers and a couple beers before we walked over to UC. Odd thing happened as we awaited entrance. It was snow/raining and as the…

Meat Sweat Monday – Wendy’s Junior Bacon Cheeseburger
The drive-thru is a greatly underutilized asset for restaurants. Only the burger and taco chains really employ drive-thrus.

Unfortunately, I miscommunicated with my buddy Whammer and ended up walking into the fancy Ambassador Hotel in Gold Coast around…

Meat Sweat Monday: International Burger Menu at McDonald’s Hamburger University in West Loop
Everyone seems to have an opinion on McDonald’s – plenty of negativity surrounding the golden arches. I’m a bit of a McDonald’s apologist, because they’re from here. The Founder is one of my favorite movies, love the history lesson it provides, from Des Plaines to a long run in Oakbrook to its current home in…

Blackout Wednesday, the Billy Goat & a Big Garbage Surprise
Nobody stands outside United Center to buy tickets on the street. Well, there is one guy: Me. I treat UC like it’s Wrigley Field in August. I’ll roll up before game time to hang in the freezing temps, avoiding professional ticket hustlers while seeking the rare fan looking to get rid of an extra. My…
