Let's do KUMA!

If you were to pair heavy metal music with food, what would it be?

Definitely a humongous, pure carnivores' delight BURGER!



KUMA'S CORNER is where you get it here in Chicago - consistently dubbed as one of the best in the state, if not the country! Soo not your typical burger joint! You are greeted with loud heavy metal music; and naturally, the staff are all heavily inked and pierced. The burgers are named after famous metal bands like Megadeth, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin... ahhhh let me just *copy paste!*

..when you go the first time, of course you must try the famous Kuma Burger!



look at that big boyyy!!!! what makes Kuma's Corner's burgers special is the bread! It's not the hamburger bun you grew up with. The bun is a cross between ... hmm .. a pretzel and a brioche -- it has to be a stubborn kind of bread to carry all the weight!

Kuma's is small place for the crowd it draws, that the last we went, we had to wait an hour for a table. But it was well worth it.... Not just for the food, but the experience altogether. If you're a foodie and you go to Chicago and you don't go to Kuma's Corner, rethink your being a foodie! :))

That Lair of the Minotaur sounds yummmm-ieee!

Here's me, ready to devour! (Tattoed Zooey Deschanel look-a-like waitress behind me)


And me, defeated by the Kuma :(
