The 2 best places on the Loop now are Carlito's (an institution) and the burger spot Just Jeff's, which are the best burgers in Como (yes, better than Booches).

Oh. And Mugs Up, but I can only do Mugs Up once a year for food - shit is so high in sodium...

Booche's is just classier White Castle. If you're downtown for a burger, Billiards on Broadway is the spot. I'm more confused by the fascination with Booche's than I am Shakespeares - Shakespeares is at least good; just not as good as people say. Booche's just ain't very good.

They opened a Just Jeff's down south and my main problem is that it's essentially a 5-guys or Mad Cow burger that comes with shitty crinkle cut fries instead of the good hand-sliced ones at 5-guys or Mad Cow. I have friends that swear by it as well but the fries are so lousy (and all they sell is canned soda that costs too damn much) that I'll just head to Mad Cow instead. What am I not doing right here? I don't see the fascination.

I have tried so hard to not like Las Margs because the cult surrounding that place just pisses me off. But I've come to the reluctant conclusion that yes - it is the best Mexican food joint in town. Especially since Agave's 70 frontage location closed and the one off range-line has fallen off substantially over the last year or so.
