Epic Burger
Epic Burger can be found in several parts of Chicago. You can choose between their normal epic burger, turkey burger, very veggie portabella sandwich, and a chicken breast. I tend to get a plain epic Wisconsin cheese burger with a whole wheat bun. Other than picking toppings and their special epic sauce a person can [...]

Tamarind

Yolk
One of my friends mentioned to me that Yolk is practically empty when it opens, around 6am on the weekdays. I've been there before, last year, and waiting for about an hour or long in a packed side part with a ton of other people, straining to hear the names called. So when a friend [...]
