DMK Burger Bar has created a new burger for the Chicago Bears that might make us venture into the place during the insanely-packed game days. Or at least, fantasize about it. The "Pigskin" burger is made with root beer-braised pork, a grass-fed beef burger, aged organic Wisconsin cheddar, pickles and onions. Oh, and "love," according to DMK. more ›

Despite the green river, drunken hordes and large parade, some of you may remember that St. Patrick's Day hasn't happened yet. In fact, since the holiday falls on a weekday, there are two weekends of fun, and two weekends of great food and drink specials all over the city. We're gonna focus on the places that go above and beyond with food - cheap green beer isn't news in Chicago, and we bet that you've read plenty about drink specials already. Some of these events happen on the actual day (March 17), some during this week and some next weekend. Whenever they occur, eat something new and exciting on the day of green this year. more ›

Heck, we think it should've won some sort of prize for mathematical genius. The problem Grumdahl faced, during a roundup of the best burgers in the entire state, was keeping a solid set of criterion which didn't let the most expensive burgers with the fanciest ingredients trump the diners. The result was this miraculous equation. more ›

During the month of December, DMK Burger Bar will be showcasing two new menu offerings. First, a new burger called the "Holiday Ham Never Had it Better."

Great for the non-beef eaters in your party! more ›
