No matter if you root for the Cubs or Sox, it’s a win-win for burger fans! In honor of May’s National Burger Month, Poag Mahone’s restaurant are giving diners a chance to support two local organizations at the “Crosstown Classic Chowdown”. Throughout the month of May, fans can order the:

“Northside ‘Cure for the Curse’ Burger” – 100% grass fed cheeseburger stacked with a hotdog with sweet relish, yellow mustard, sport peppers, lettuce, tomato and a dash of celery salt in between a soft pretzel roll with a side of nachos and a crisp dill pickle in honor of the Chicago Cubs.

“Southside ‘Put it on the Board’ Burger” – cheese stuffed 100% grass fed burger, topped with a Southside Polish sausage, beer onions and spicy brown mustard in honor of the Chicago White Sox.

Every juicy bite helps two incredible organizations as portions of the sales of each burger from the entire month will benefit their corresponding charities. Cubs fan proceeds will benefit the Wood Family Foundation,mlb.mlb.com/players/woodfamilyfoundation/events.jspand Sox fans proceeds will benefit Bring Me Home Children’s Home and Aid Foundationchildrenshomeandaid.org/bringmehome . Both burgers are priced at $12.

As the Cubs and Sox duke it out, you can show your allegiance with a North Side “Cure for the Curse” burger (cheeseburger stacked with a hot dog, relish, tomatoes, celery salt and more on a pretzel roll; $12) or a South Side “Put it on the Board” burger (cheese-stuffed burger with Polish sausage, beer onions and spicy mustard; $12). Partial proceeds benefit the corresponding team’s official charities. 10:30 a.m.-11 p.m. Through Friday.

For Cubs concession fans, the Northside Cure for the Curse Burger features a 100% grassfed cheeseburger and a hotdog. It’s piled high Chicago style, with sweet relish, yellow mustard, sport peppers, lettuce, tomato, and celery salt between a pretzel bun. A dill pickle spear and side of nachos accompany the stacked sandwich. In support of recently retired Cubs pitcher Kerry Wood, some of the Northside burger’s proceeds will be put toward the Wood Family Foundation. Southsiders, on the other hand, will want to sample the Put it on the Board Burger, a cheese-stuffed grassfed burger with Polish sausage, beer onions, and spicy brown mustard. It benefits the Bring Me Home Children’s Home and Aid Foundation.

No matter where their loyalty lies, though, Chicagoans can always agree that beer is the best accompaniment to a hearty burger (and hot dog). Poag Mahone’s offers an expansive selection of seasonally rotating craft ales, and right now we love the locally brewed 5 Rabbit American Blonde golden ale. 333 S. Wells St., 312-566-9100

This June, as you join Poag Mahone’s for lunch or dinner, be sure to pair your entree with one of New Holland’s Brewery’s finest beers. All month long, Poag’s will be paying tribute to New Holland’s extensive options of craft and specialty beers for patrons to enjoy.

Whether you need a place to unwind or you’re looking for a place to contain your rowdy group, Poag Mahone’s Carvery and Ale House is the place to be. Open from 11am – 11pm, Monday – Friday, this old style Chicago saloon brings you back to the turn of the century. Tin ceilings, tile floors, and a huge 28 foot oak bar turns back the clock to the times when Chicago was know for its slaughterhouses, tanneries and its freewheeling lifestyle.

Poag Mahone’s serves American cuisine, specializing in juicy 8 ounce 100% American grass fed burgers and mini burgers that keep customers coming back for more! Our carvery dishes out heaping portions of hand carved fresh turkey, roast beef and corned beef that make for some of Chicago’s best sandwiches and hot plates. And don’t forget dessert… the Irish bread pudding is served with a whiskey sauce so good we’ll have to card you for it!

The full bar features “Poag’s Honest Pour” of favorite whiskeys along with Guinness, Harp, Smithwick’s Irish Ale and other top imported and domestic beers on tap and in bottles. If the whiskey doesn’t warm you up enough, try “Poag’s Irish Coffee”, only $5!

Poag’s proudly offers its full menu for orders to be picked up *BEFORE 11:30am or AFTER 1:30pm.

Daniel Rosenthal is trying to make every burger in Chicago a sustainable burger.

Daniel Rosenthal has put a plate of two naked, cooked hamburger patties between us. He pokes at the first one, made with conventionally raised, factory-farmed, certified Angus beef—what Rosenthal refers to as “commodity beef”—and takes a bite.

“There’s a richness to it,” he says. “It’s what you’re used to eating.”

He moves on to the other patty, made with 100 percent grass-fed beef.

“It’s got a little tanginess to it. What I call a genuine beef flavor.”
