WHO KNEW MASTODON TASTED SO GOOD?

(The “Famous Kuma Burger”- Bacon, Cheddar, & Fried Egg)

No offense, West Coast, but this place kinda puts the Grill ‘Em All Truck to shame.

I’m going to Chicago this weekend; I’ve never been to Ill-Annoys before so I’m pretty excited. Out of curiosity I did a google search on anything metal that may have come out of the Land of Lincoln, and JACKPOT! While typing the phrase “heavy metal chicago”, Google wanted me to add “burger” to the end and boy I’m glad I did.

Behold: Kuma’s Corner of Chicago, IL

As advertised: “If you’ve been looking for a place with the most mouthwatering meat laid upon pretzel rolls in a dazzling presentation made for Odin himself while listening to bone crushing metal and rock and roll?”

Yes please. More of that!

Everything about this place looks like it totally crushes on the heavy metal food front. You can read for yourself, but they have a sandwiches and burgers named after all the greats- Slayer, Pantera, Metallica, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest- and a couple that are just funny. Care to try to the Goblin Cock? (Bacon, Cheddar Cheese, ¼lb. Vienna Hot Dog, Tomatoes, Onion, Neon Green Relish, Sport Peppers, Pickles, Celery Salt Mustard) Or perhaps you’d prefer the Lair of the Minotaur (Caramelized Onions, Pancetta, Brie, Bourbon Soaked Pears). With all of their main courses served on your choice of a 10oz burger, grilled chicken breast, garden burger, or chicken tenders you really can’t go wrong. Unless you try to order a Nickleback. It’s probably just everyone’s leftovers from the day on a dirty plate.

Hopefully I’ll get to see it for myself when I’m there, and if I do I’ll surely let you know how brutal of a burger it was. As Alestorm once said- GO MEAT!
