Good eating from the burbs to the city

Yolk East Lakeview, Chicago
501 W Diversey Pkwy, Chicago, IL 60614

I ordered a Build a burger which comes on a Pretzel bun. Your choice of white Turkey, char broil beef patty or a garden burger.

This place serves lunch but many caters to breakfast. They made room to fit a stroller and 6 adults which was cool I talked to the parents who are on Metra and CTA for the air and water show. I thought that was cool how they did that. Any way it is a very tight squeeze at the door way and bathrooms are a squeeze but have Kodiak stations for the little ones. This place seems busy all day long.

The staff is outstanding and very knowledgeable of the menu without looking at it. As to the food I ordered the build a burger with chicken comes with lettuce,  tomatoe, onion and pickle, your sides are fries, onion chips coleslaw and fresh fruit. I also sampled their onion rings they are sweet with a nice crunch think the batter is a beer batter, I also had a sample of the chicken wrap which is fantastic. The hamburger took a while to cook but we'll worth the wait. The fries are good could have used some seasalt but good. I'd come back.
I give this place 4.5 Sears Towers

Uber Driver shoots gun wheeling ape in Logan Square

Prosecutors say an Uber driver with a concealed carry permit shot a 22-year-old man who opened fire on a group of pedestrians in Chicago.

Court records say the man shot at people walking in front of the driver’s vehicle Friday night in the Logan Square neighborhood. The driver then grabbed his own weapon and fired six rounds at the man, striking him multiple times. The man was taken to a local hospital for treatment.

Assistant State’s Attorney Barry Quinn says the driver, who has a firearm owner’s identification card, acted in self-defense and the defense of others.

The man was ordered held without bail Sunday. He’s facing charges of aggravated battery with a firearm and illegal possession of a firearm.

Police say the driver hasn’t been charged.
