Last summer, while scouring the immediate vicinity of my
workplace for feasible lunchtime options, I was pointed toward M Burger,
Lettuce Entertain You’s answer to fast-food hamburgers. And I remembered it
being glorious – thick, creamy milkshakes, delicious hamburgers (with a secret
menu, to boot!), and crispy crunchy fries. However, because of M burger’s
downtown location, I was left with nothing more than ethereal memories of
lunchtime greasy fast food gluttony once my schooling days resumed at Northwestern.
Fast forward to me now, being all boss-like with a job and
what not in the real world – as luck would have it, I work a five minute walk
from where I did last summer, which, amazingly, places me within walking
distance of not one but two M Burger
locations! Oh, the options! I could go to one today and the other one tomorrow!
I could go to one constantly and establish myself as a regular! I could work
for a whole month and not go to either because I have no money and would prefer
to bring lunches!1 But on the
last working day of the 2011 calendar year, with nothing better to do than sit
in the office vegetating while staring blithely at a computer screen, I decided
to further my state of extreme inactivity by going out to get some M Burger and
stuffing my face for lunch.
