Burger + BBQ 2010 tour began tonight...

PrintThe 2010 version of the RR BBQ/Burger Tour made its first stop at a surprising location, Gameworks at Newport on the Levee. The biggest reason for selecting Gameworks was the fact I was able to get a one hundred dollar gift certificate for $12 online late last month. Bargain! The only catch was that one had to spend two hundred dollars to validate the GC. No problem, seeing as how it was my eldest son's 13th bday and i had invited the immediate family plus the usual RR suspects jch and tHan. We sat on the "patio" of Jax Grill.
My folks both went with the same entree as tHan...a rack of ribs. Both of my sons went with the 1.5 lb burger challenge which afforded them the opportunity to win a $10 gamecard if they finished the burger. I selected the NY strip steak, medium rare. Westie picked up the same cut of beef, albeit it medium. Lets just say medium rare seemed to make a huge, huge difference in quality. jch went with a pasta dish, he's a carb whore nowadays...
tHan reported that the ribs were better than Montgomery Inn. Both of my boys, age 13 and 11, finished off their burgers and were the proud recipients of gamecards. Our server was outstanding and I wish I had grabbed her name so I could recommend her to the masses here. She managed a table of 16, errr 15, with ease.
The only rub to the evening was having to wait 45 minutes for a table after arriving at 445pm. When we called to make reservations we were told that was unnecessary just show up and we'd be seated. It turns out the location does NOT accept reservations until you actual arrive onsite. That's good to know!
The big question is did tHan leave room for dessert after a big meal and some big draft beers? We'll leave that nugget for the man to answer himself, in the comments below.

I love Montgomery Inn's sauce
When I’m not using my dad’s homemade sauce I use Montgomery Inn’s at home, but I am not a huge fan of the restaurant.

I wish I could have written better sarcasm
I guess I should have said I’m not surprised Gameworks has better ribs than Montgomery Inn, since Montgomery Inn’s ribs are garbage.

i know.
you said the other day you hated montgomery inn’s ribs.
my reply wasn’t so much to you as it was a preemptive strike to people saying liking the gameworks ribs is ridiculous
forgot to mention
the $10 Kobe beef hot dog.

I had BBQ Ribs tonight
I went to Miller’s Pub in the Loop. Solid ribs, but not as good as I remember them. If you find yourself in downtown Chicago and want a solid lunch or dinner check out Miller’s. They have a wide range of selections from rather affordable sandwiches to a $35 fillet minion.
Like I sad the Ribs were alright but the sauce seems to have changed, it isn’t bad but it isn’t good either. The sauce just seems generic. I did drink a fat tire with my dinner so that was nice, and Miller’s has nice bread.
So reporting from Chicago I give Miller’s BBQ a 3/5. Despite the average ribs I still recommend Miller’s because they have a nice burger and a nice steak.

I do not reccomend their food per se

3. More bread than a person should be allowed to have on a sandwich
4. high priced
5. Low Quality
Decent fries.

All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
never been to Penn Station
Well, I’ve been the rail station, but not the restaurant.
I just like subs in general better than Chipotle. I like Mexican food, but Chipotle is just kind of bulky and bland. It’s great if you need a lot of food, cheap…and don’t care what it tastes like.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
I think it is
You get a lot of food for the money, compared to other fast food joints. But it’s pretty bland.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
no it isn't
the chicken is very well seasoned and there is a large assortment of salsas that have plenty of flavor.
you said you don’t like guacamole so i won’t mention that there’s is awesome.
if you think their food is bland, i think you did a poor job of ordering.
I'd have to agree.
I do think the chicken at Chipole is seasoned nicely but I don’t think that it’s really memorable or noteworthy. The pork is. And the barbacoa beef is.
And if either of the medium salsas left your tongue wanting and then the hot salsa didn’t do it for you… you must be a two-pack-a-day smoker or maybe you’re Indian.
One more thing… ask them to go light on the rice and beans. (And yes, the pinto beans are bland. Go black!)
"Let's get this movie. We already have the underwear."

i order the same thing everytime
Burrito Bowl with Rice, black beans, fajita vegetables, extra fajita vegetables, chicken, corn salsa, sour cream, and cheese. I also get an order of tortilla chips and the green salsa. It is heaven!
I'll keep that in mind
If I ever go back.
The corn salsa was okay, but not very hot to my taste.
I don’t smoke, but I do have a high tolerance for heat. Probably all those “authentic” Buffalo wings in college. My poor mom wonders where she went wrong. I don’t even notice the heat in food that’s too spicy for her to eat.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?

also, after much consideration i’m going to have to say raymond’s hong kong cafe is better than oriental wok
i will disagree
Raymond’s was not bad, however
"Life is good....life is good...life is good..life is good" jch
i'm mainly comparing the orange chicken
raymond’s was quite a bit better.
it looks like oriental wok had the edge on sweet and sour chicken.
slight edge to raymond’s on the crab rangoons and the hot & sour soup.
Moe's is garbage

the chicken is well-seasoned
But they don’t give you very much of it, compared to all the other stuff, so you can hardly taste it.
I do like their salsas.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
All of their proteins are well-seasoned
You cannot honestly tell me their carnitas, barbacoa, chicken or steak is not tasty.
If you told me any of those, you would, of course, be blatantly lying.
by Highlifeman21 on Mar 7, 2010 8:41 PM EST up reply actions
the problem
is they don’t give you much. You end up tasting mostly lettuce, and poorly seasoned rice and beans.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
I like the cilantro rice, I think it's decently seasoned
I do not get lettuce b/c it just gets in the way of the other glorious flavors, and detracts from my burrito experience

the cilantro rice is great
it has a lime seasoning.
they give you tons of meet. either she went to the world’s shitties chipotle, or she just did a poor job of ordering.
the last chipotle I went to
was across the street from my hotel in downtown Houston. I ordered the chicken fajita burrito, and it was enough food for two. But not much chicken.
The Japanese place down the road was much better. Shrimp tempura, chicken tonkatsu, sushi, shumai…yum.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
you would think
Houston, of all places, would have good Mexican food.
I confess, I wasn’t expecting the Japanese food to be so good. Just not what you think of when you think of Houston.

it couldn’t have anything to do with the fact that you can find good japanese food in any city in the country
you can find good Japanese food
But good cheap Japanese food is generally found only in large cities.
That’s one thing I like about big cities: good, cheap, ethnic food. In smaller cities, you’re pretty much stuck with fast food if you want cheap eats.

Sis Schourek was in a burger mood yesterday
so we went to B-Spot. The entire atmosphere, starting with the name, ending with the fried-bologna-on-a-burger has a distinct “Frat boy who is now working for his dad’s company” atmosphere, but the mall setting actually helped. Because it’s in a mall, there are more families, keeping it relatively humane and the drunken bro-ness to a minimum. I’ve never been happier to be in a mall restaurant.
That said, great beer selection (Dogfish Head, Bear Republic, Ommegang) as well as some mean-lookin’ shakes. Burgers were pretty solid – the rarer, the better. I just had a cheeseburger, as did the rest of the Schourek clan… you could get a bunch of weird fixin’s on it, but that was a bit much for us all.
Oh, and the shasha sauce is good, even if its just Famous Dave’s “Georgia Mustard”. The constant loop of Food Network is bad, ugly, and pointless.
Not a bad place if you find yourself in the Cleveland suburbs, but Moxie makes a better ($18) burger.
"And then there was the USAID guy in Kandahar who drove a giant pink Cadillac, which the locals set on fire one day. If you wanted to destroy something symbolic during a riot, you just could not do better than that. Good stuff." - Ghosts of Alexander

My mom used to make it a lot, but hey, Hawaii is the preserved meat capital of the US. They have an excuse. They’re an island that had to import their food before container shipping and commercial air service.

All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
He may not be guilty of rape, but he's certainly establishing a pattern of forcing himself on women/girls
While I haven’t seen pictures of his latest transgression, I’m hoping she’s certainly more attractive than the Harrah’s employee.
If Ben’s guilty of one thing, it’s poor taste/choices in females.

If he's guilty of ONE thing..
..it’s walking around thinking that because he’s Ben Roethlisberger he doesn’t need to comport himself with the even the minimal amount of dignity expected in everyday society.
(He also evidently believes that the laws of physics don’t apply to him either… but that might make this two things.)
Kinda tacky to make this about how the women he’s associated himself with are maybe slightly more attractive than your average Kroger cashier but certainly not as attractive as any of the women in your family.
