Profile in Awesome: Pretzel Bun

The thing about this blog that I enjoy the most is promoting people/places/things that I love that I feel are wildly underrated. Alex Rodriguez, Jimmy Clausen, John Bolton, Friday Night Lights, Ft. Lauderdale all fall into that category. I have gotten so super jacked when I get texts from friends telling me they have bought FNL DVDs and love Timmy Riggins or that they are sitting in the airport reading Surrender is Not an Option and getting fired up.

Well I have recently been introduced into the awesomeness of the Pretzel Bun. It really is insanity to eat a chicken sandwich, pulled pork, or a burger on anything but a Pretzel Bun. Not really sure how many grocery stores stock them regularly, but I know Trader Joe’s does.

If you are in the Chicago area here are three restaurants where you can order them….

1) Kuma’s Corner http://www.kumascorner.com/

It is an amazing heavy metal bar that serves all their burgers and sandwiches on Pretzel Buns. I recommend the Black Sabbath Burger (chili and pepper jack) or the pulled pork.

2) Rockit Bar http://www.rockitbarandgrill.com/

One of Billy Dec’s bars. Really good food and a great upstairs bar, with tunes similar to the basement of the Hang Uppe

3) The Grille on Laurel (Lake Forest, IL) http://www.thegrilleonlaurel.com/

Chicken Sandwich is freaking tremendous. Great drinks spot with a date. Strong Ceviche.
