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.
I have yet to find the best burger in Chicago
Surprisingly, Carson's Ribs has really good burgers. As does Portillo's.

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.

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!
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.
As does Portillo's.

He is a man with obvious good taste.
Congrats Betsy!
Huh - now that Yahoo knows I'm logging on from Greece, not only am I getting ads in Greek, but about 50% of the time I get offered a chance for a green card - America is offering green cards to 50,000 lucky people (in needed professions). I was thinking about applying for one.
But nah, I still don't want to be a nurse.
And it would get messy when I end up becoming Canadian when bush suspends the Constitution and declares himself President for Life.
Have good lunches, folks - I'm headed to bed.
