I was out yesterday shopping and strolling down Michigan Avenue. After a few hours hunger pangs hit so I did what I usually do and looked for a place to grab a bite. I decided on Michael Jordan's Steakhouse (The Bar). To my surprise when I got the menu....My favorite burger was back. It's a little different but the brisket and short rib is back in the mix with a little chuck added in. I was so happy because this is the burger that started me on my burger quest. The mix of meats give this burger an unctuous flavor. The bun is a bit different but still good (it's no longer that buttery bun) and the fries deserve a feature of their own. They are the perfect size (the size of a pencil) and perfectly fried with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese and parsley. The burger is $15 and is 10oz of delicious beefiness.
Until my next Burger Adventure!

Mity Nice Burger
This is my first post but not my first review. Mity Nice Chicago passes the test. My husband and I were invited to lunch with a good friend of ours the other day. I'm on a diet but I couldn't help myself. Burger was on the menu so I had to order it. When the food came it looked so good that I dug in and ate the whole thing. I ordered the Frisky Burger. It's peppercorn crusted, topped with blue cheese and fried onions. I ate half with the bun but began to fill up so I ate the other half with a knife and fork without the top bun. Every bite of the burger by itself is packed with flavor. It had that beefy savory flavor with a hint of char and pepper. The blue cheese is mild and doesn't over power the burger. The lettuce and tomato was typical, iceberg lettuce and a slice of beef steak tomato but they didn't get in the way either. Now on to the fries. You have a choice of home made potato chips, regular fries or sweet potato fries. I went for the sweet potato fries. They are cut shoestring which I love. They were crispy and chewy at the same time.
Here's the funny thing. I was so hungry I ate the burger before I took a picture of it. I asked our waiter if she could snag a photo for me on the next burger order from the kitchen. She asked what I wanted it for and without knowing what my verdict was she and the manager ordered another burger for me just to take a photo. I have to mention that my opinion was not swayed by this gesture and this one looks just likethe one I gobbled up. I think she knew that I loved the burger by my clean plate.
I love the Mity Nice Chicago Frisky Burger. Perfectly flavored and cooked to a medium! And the fry report comes up sweet with the sweet potato fries.
Until my next burger quest!
