    2 very average hot dog stands in Burbank. Dukes has an alright Beef sandwich and Kojaks has a decent burger. If your passing thru Burbank one of those places is worth a shot, otherwise no need to make a special trip.

    Trotters is either closing at the end of this month or next. One of the best restaurants in the US for almost 25 years.

    Born in Skokie, Ill - grew up in Libertyville/Mundeline.

    Portillo's is on my short list of musts when I get back to the home state.

    Heard they are bringing one out to the valley here in PHX - rather excited.

    The girl that waited on us was pretty cute. Nice face, tight body, just covered from the neck to wrists in tattoos... Not my style, but I can't say I wasn't attracted to her. She'd just be more like a 9 if she wasn't covered in that garbage, brings her down to a 7 or so. Her ass wasn't big and she was the only attractive white girl there.

    For some reason, I thought there cheese fries would be good, but that fukkin cheddar cheese or whatever crusted up quickly and started to taste funky. But the burger was Top Notch. Nice little joint, too bad it about a hour away.

    Any more types of foods you need a reccomendation on let me know.
    Did Blackies yesterday for lunch - they do make a good burger for sure! Not sure if anyone is big on it, but Art of Pizza has a special on Thursdays I think, its like $5.99 chicken parmesan - one of the best chicken parms I ever ate. I swear to god I put on 20 lbs just from eating that every Thursday alone. Know thats a random fact but that was the only thing I ever ate every week. Live out in suburbs now with wife, so don't get to eat downtown for dinner much anymore - good to see Chicago representing strong here on SBR!
