Since Ian put this blog on the food tip, let me point this out:

That's basically beef as butter, right there. Walk it through a hot kitchen and put it on my plate.

The restaurant is Avenues, and it's in Chicago, which is just a bit more likely for me to get to than upstate New York.

Can you imagine grinding that meat up to make some Wagyu Jucy Lucys? I think I just blew my own mind. Speaking of Jucy Lucys, I hit up Matt's Bar in Minneapolis a few weeks back, and heretical as it may sound, I think our Lucy was better than theirs. They've got a real runny cheese/grease thing going on in the middle, but it's no match for our gooey cheese avalanche. Observe:

And I ain't even gonna get into the butter burger, now that I've had it. Let me just say, living in the Midwest will kill you, no joke.
