Bucharest Grill and Park Bar

The Bucharest Grill and Park Bar are a pair of harmonious roommates, sharing a lovely ground floor residence located at 2040 Park Ave.  Step up to the Bucharest Grill counter to order your food then take a seat in Park Bar, order a beer and wait for your meal to be served.

Bucharest Shwarma!

I will start with the shwarma.  In my opinion, one of the most crucial elements of a tasty wrap, shwarma, rollup, what have you - is certainly the pita.  Bucharest just knocks it out of the park.  So starchy and soaked with delicious shwarma juices, the casing for this tasty treat definitely exceeded my standards.  The vegetables were all grilled and fresh.  The sandwich was absolutely packed with rice, fried potatoes, the juicy and delectable pieces of chicken breast along with the veggies, garlic and hummus.  Bucharest really knows how to pack a punch into a wrap. And the accompaniments were equally as satisfying...

Restaurant Experienced - Mercury Burger Bar

So, it has been a few days...  But I have needed every second to recuperate from this most recent experience:

A picture says a thousand words, and that's just the toppings!

Last week I went to one of Corktown's newer restaurants, the Mercury Burger & Bar.  Taking over where the Mercury Coffee Bar left off, the Burger & Bar has put together an intense recipe of rich flavors and creative menu items that will have you drooling!  The Mercury Burger & Bar was opened in March of this year on Michigan Avenue and 14th Street.  Originally named after the Mercury Train that traveled from New York to Detroit and on to Chicago, the Mercury Bar had long since closed. Today, The Mercury Burger & Bar looks to breath new life into a resurgent part of town, one wildly-filling burger at a time. More reviews.
