i'd like to share this with dougrr one day...

Killer B burger: You need inside information to get hold of this indulgence, but that's why you read us, isn't it? Available only in Michael Jordan's Steakhouse, only in the first-level bar, only on weeknights, only after 10 p.m. and only by request (it's not on the menu), the Killer B ($19) takes its name from the "killer" combination of beef, bacon, bourbon and blue cheese, says executive chef James O'Donnell. Essentially a mashup of the restaurant's first-rate burger and the dining room's signature appetizer, the ciabatta garlic bread, the Killer B is a thick, bacon-blue cheese burger sandwiched between garlic ciabatta, which is then drizzled with blue cheese fondue. And if your arterial walls haven't constricted sufficiently, it comes with a bourbon milkshake. "It's something for folks just off the late shift to share," O'Donnell says. "I can't imagine eating one on your own." If you do, consider sleeping late the next morning. 505 N. Michigan Ave., 312-321-8823

So I skipped 5 Guys because I had a coupon for a free Memphis BBQ burger from Hardees/Carl's Jr. Was not bad for a fast food burger. Basically just some Memphis-style BBQ on top of a cheeseburger.

I got a little clever with my burger today and spread a little pico de gallo across a patty topped with mushrooms and melted swiss. It added some interesting flavor. I might play around with this a little more the next time I go to a burger place with a well-stocked condiment bar.

what's your version of well-stocked, reed?
A wide variety of lettuces and farm greens, various seasonal vegetables that you can either grab sliced or diced, crumbled cheeses and spice powders, a short order cook on hand to handle egg orders, and of course a selection of house-made aioli and chimichurri sauces.

what if they had everything but the chimichurri sauce? still well stocked?
I don't think I've ever run into this kind of place where I live. maybe TX twang/lope is ok after all.
There are a lot of farms in Texas, Mary. A condiment bar could easily survive without chimichurri, but it's absolutely essential to have the right kinds of greens. I don't trust a burger place that only uses iceberg lettuce.

not that I disagree, but I happen to like iceberg lettuce for the crunch factor.

I'm by no means calling for an elimination of iceberg lettuce at burger bars, but it's the places that think that the only lettuce that people want on a burger is iceberg lettuce that really get my goat.

I was worried about my lettuce street cred for a moment there

In Scotland there was this awesome little bar that served a pork burger with apple smoked cheese and an apple relish. It was one of the best burgers I've ever had.
