The Curse-breaker Burger – It’s been 108 years in the making. Two 100% Beef Patties. Cheese. Grilled Onions. Jalapenos. That’s how you break a curse.
Curse-Breaker Wins! Curse-Breaker Wins! Curse-Breaker Wins!
It was a great pleasure meeting Lorne Michaels at the Chicago Celebrates SNL Fundraiser for the Museum of Broadcast Communications.
Sam Sianis is Chicago’s #1 tavern owner. Bar none. His work ethic is just as legendary as his cheezborgers.
From a letter written by Mike Royko: “I’ve know Sam Sianis for many years and consider him one of my closest friends. He has so many fine qualities, many of them sadly lacking in our present society, that I’m not sure where to start, but I’ll try.”
“Work ethic: If everyone in this country tended to their jobs or businesses with Sam’s diligence, Japan would be up to its collective ears in red ink. Since taking over Billy Goat’s Tavern, he has turned it into one of the country’s best-known bars. He treats his employees fairly and earns their loyalty. In the meaning of service, Sam and his staff treat all of his customers alike, whether they are famous or an old bag lady who wants to sit in the corner to get out of the cold.”
“So, coming to Chicago last night, obviously I headed to the Billy Goat Tavern. The original one. I haven’t been back here since the curse was lifted, so I was curious to see if the vibe of the place had altered in any way. Of course it hadn’t. You’d need a neutron bomb to shake the vibe of a place like that.” – Franz Ferdinand
Billy Goat Tavern is now open in Chicago’s Midway Airport! Whether you’re coming or going, we recommend stopping. Of course, you might spoil your little bag of peanuts. Cheezborger! Cheezborger! Cheezborger!
