Back at Millers....

It was time to start the weekend unwind which could only mean one thing: another thirsty Thursday at Miller's Ale House.  There is NOTHING a little bitchfest with friends over good food and drinks can't fix.  

Ice cream with Nutter Butters helps too.... How can this place not make you happy?

I've come to accept (and embrace!) the fact that this will be on our table everytime we come to Miller's. 

The Zinger Mountain Melt

I didn't even TRY to resist it this time!

Five Guys burgers are good, but these Two Guys know how to elevate a burger through upscale ingredient combinations like applewood smoked bacon, smoked gouda, and smoky BBQ sauce.  But as former McDonald's executives, Tom Dentice and Ed Rensi should know a little something about hamburgers.

Still, I give them credit for doing what they do well.  I ordered the Bushel & a Peck burger (Granny Smith apple slices, handmade walnut butter, melted Brie cheese, and caramelized onions....swapping out the standard Angus beef with a turkey burger) and it was really tasty!  The walnut butter was definitely a unique touch.  (I'm a huge fan of compound butters.  I'll have to do a post on that soon.)

All the special touches are what make T&E's good.  They have an extensive assortment of condiments and  their milkshakes are made using Häagen-Dazs ice cream.

Miller's Ale House

Apparently, this is a Florida chain that we are fortunate enough to have just one location of in Chicagoland thanks to all of our locals that "winter" in Florida!  It's a great casual restaurant and bar with GREAT food!
