Oh, smacked in the noggin with a 2x4 wrapped in velvet. Yeah, that's what it felt like.

egg and olive sandwiches

Never heard of these, but the local alternative to Italian Beef sandwiches on Lenten Fridays is egg and pepper sandwiches (also available at the Buona Beef restaurants and most other IB places). They aren't too bad.

As for good hamburgers in Chicago, brenda, I find that most of the sports bars and grills have decent quality burgers. I'm still wanting to splurge on a damn good steakhouse sometime this summer, though, either Gibson's or Gene and Georgetti's. I'm craving some top-quality cowflesh.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I have yet to find the best burger in Chicago

Surprisingly, Carson's Ribs has really good burgers. As does Portillo's.

As does Portillo's.

This is the one mentioned by the guy whose link I followed to the burger blog.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I am determined to go to Ruth's Chris Steakhouse now that I'm living probably less than a mile from one.

It's not like the days of the State Street River, but the theory's the same.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

OK, fuck it. I'm going to the Shake Shack. Maybe I'll just walk home.

I trekked up to Shake Shack for lunch today. Hardly any line!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, that's good to know, bon. Was it lunch time for normal people? I was trying to decide how late to wait. Not that it's sitting-in-the-park-eating-lunch weather, or is likely to be tomorrow. I'll wear a coat.

It was at one, maybe a quarter after. I think it was less busy today because it was chillier out. Even so, it took a little while-- maybe 15 minutes-- for us to get our food.

ETA: I would wait until 2 or later if you can. I've never had a wait when I've gone for dinner.

He is a man with obvious good taste.
