(Photo: Waiter, there’s a splatter movie in my burger.)
My favorite local restaurant in my South River North/North Loop ‘hood is not one I would recommend to my worst enemy. Well, depending on the day you ask me my opinion on the place.

Find out why a rare burger at Emerald Loop can be a bloody weekend surprise in my latest Gapers Block: Drive-Thru review, Emerald Loop: It’s Not Easy Being Green. And then someone please find me a weekend hoodie.
