Looks like about a 40 minute drive from my office. I might just have to block out 3 hours and go for lunch.

I have to get there. It looks too good.

Board meetup for an NFL Sunday. Enough fucking around...let's do this!

Oh I see you won’t meet me in Champaign but you’ll block out 3 hours for a hamburger luncheon with Telegram Sam

Yes, your vision is quite good.

It was more convenient for me on Milwaukee Avenue but they closed up that shop. I do give the burger my good dolphin two flippers up.

I think they'd be a bigger name if they became more of a sit down restaurant in the manner of Kuma's, but I don't think that's what they want to be. It's really good stuff.

Also, if you sign up for their list they have two for one nights and $7 burgers nights.

That $7 deal might be the best deal you can find for a burger in the metro area.

As good as the burgers are at BRGRBELLY, their fries might be be even better. I really need to try to get there more often than I do.

Joydog is back at the Montrose Saloon on Friday 9/23. I plan on hitting up TS's place of business for the pre-show meal again.

I'm still offended that Telegram Sam once told me my advice for grilling chicken was horrible but didn't go into any further detail thus meaning that the rest of my life I am destined to grill chicken poorly without ever knowing how I am messing it up.

It's like if Tom Brady told me "You suck at throwing a football" and then just walked away.

Probably best not to use breasts at all. Stick with thighs.

Good idea.

After finishing 14,000 words of letters of rec last night, I was a bit punchy, and I fell asleep in a recliner. I then dreamed about a board meetup. The only person I know for sure who was there was Jurko. He was sitting behind me, sounding fat and stupid, and talking about something when he started crying a little. He sobbed his way through a speech about how Don Tiny was not there and the reason he wasn't there is because Don Tiny "tended to the gay end of the spectrum, and all of you hate him."

Everyone started giving Jurko shit, and then he said, "Wait...my bad. Not Don Tiny. I mean Caller Bob." Then Peter Griffin appeared (it was obviously meant to be 312) and started laughing his ass off.

I hate Don Tiny and I don't know who the fuck he is. And apparently Telegram Sam makes hamburgers. Well, congratufuckinglations on reinventing the wheel.

I wonder if he will ever come back to the board....

We made it in yesterday. I eat a lot of burgers and I got to say it was a pretty damn good burger. My husband thought the fries were excellent and he doesn't use excellent a lot.

The parmesan cheese fries are great. I'm not sure why he demanded my vax card.

For some reason Sam had to take my temperature rectal-ly. Burger was SOLID.

That wasn't a thermometer.

Stopped by before going to the jazz fest in Millennium Park. The September Burger is "All the Small Things" and it is a 1/2 lb. Burger topped with Granny Apple Smith Apple Cole Slaw, provolone, and apple wood smoked bacon on a toasted scratch made bun. The garlic-parm fries are the chef's kiss on this wonderful lunch on a delightful Sunday afternoon.

Had the Crabby Patty from wendys. After one bite I went back up and asked for a side of the crabby sauce. That sauce made your standard run of the mill wendy's burger pretty good but you definitely need to double up on the sauce.

Also I dropped my kid back off at Moody and stopped off at leavitt st bar for their burger. Its probably in my top tier of burgers.

So you were in Chicago, got a burger - but not at Telegram Sam's place, and bumped this thread anyway? Telegram Sam must be rolling over in his grave.

To be technical, he bumped it to talk about a burger he got at Wendy's.
