Catfish

A friend recently introduced me to animal hats made for cats that are available at Target. For the price of $2.99, entertainment is unlimited. My cats were not as excited as I was with the new accessory I bought for them.

Kuma's Corners

Kuma’s Corners
Chicago, IL
www.kumas-corner.com



Believe me, you will have to search and want to find this restaurant. Located in a corner on Belmont; the home of gourmet burgers doesn’t have flashy lights, but a subtle sign and curtains covering the windows hiding the intriguing atmosphere.
When you enter, you will be greeted by the sound of blaring metal music which happens to be a consistent theme there.

The burgers are named after metal bands such as Motorhead, Judas Priest, Metallica, and others. As I searched thru the menu, I commented to my friend Derek: "I can’t find the Jethro Tull anywhere on here." Derek sighed and expressed his embarrassment for me.

On a recent trip, I ordered the Iron Maiden ($10) which comes with Avocado, Cherry Peppers, Pepper Jack, Chipotle Mayo and fries on the side. The extra ingredient that differs Kuma’s from the rest is they use a pretzel roll for the bun which packs a different sort of flavor.


Kuma’s is open late, 2am from Mon-Thurs, 3am on Sat, and closes at Midnight on Sun. The have an extensive beer list that offers a variety beyond the normal selection you’d find elsewhere.

If you’re not a fan of 10oz mouthwatering burgers, fear not! You can always substitute a chicken breast instead, grab a salad, or try another signature dish Kuma’s offers, which is the Make Your Own Mac & Cheese where you can select such ingredients as bacon, chicken, mushrooms and sun-dried tomatoes, just to name a few.

Kuma's Corners is certainly a personal top ten entry for best burger and boasts themselves as the Best Burger in Chicago. A meal won't run you much as the burgers are in the $10-$12 price range. Experiencing a wait is not uncommon, but you can always grab a seat at the bar and enjoy what ever movie is playing on their flat screen tv. The executive chef is Matt Erpenbach.

Deadliest Catch

Deadliest Catch: Season 4 returns tonight!

If you are new to the most dangerous reality show on tv, then you have missed something great.
Fear not! There aren't a lot of continuity issues that you will need to know to follow along. The show is friendly for new viewers by opening each season to coincide when the crab season starts.

So many times on tv, you'll hear of the potential danger a show may have or a person might experience. It's not the easiest aspect to boast about, but this program's danger is very real.
(from wiki)
During filming of the first season of Deadliest Catch, the F/V Big Valley sank on January 15, 2005 sometime after 0734 Alaska Standard Time when the Coast Guard first detected its EPIRB signal. Five of the six crew perished; three were never found. Cache Seel was the only survivor. Discovery Channel film crews on the Maverick and Cornelia Marie captured the first footage of the debris field, confirming that the boat had capsized and gone down.

During Season 3, a man fell overboard and was quickly saved by a crew mate. The icy Alaskan waters are at freezing temperatures and the human body can last only minutes before going into hypothermia.



Each year, the captains get together and make a friendly wager on who will have more success during the season.

Some of the popular vessels featured:

• Cornelia Marie
• Early Dawn
• Maverick
• Northwestern
• Time Bandit

Sig Hansen seems to be the most popular captain on the show, who also provides consulting to the show and makes the talk show circuit rounds. His brass demeanor and refusal to shake hands with greenhorns attributes to his tough reputation.... and success.
Watch for Sig as he captains the Northwestern ship and competes against the other captains of who can meet their quota for catching king crab.

Lincoln Park Zoo

If you are visiting Chicago, a good idea is to take a visit to the Lincoln Park Zoo. It's a great way to spend your afternoon if you need a good laugh/smile.... and at a free price. Yes, the Lincoln Park Zoo is free to the public! Many of the city's runners will route their runs thru the zoo to take in the atmosphere of birds chirping and animals howling for attention.
