It is served best when it&#8217;s accompanied\u00a0with a side of their mac-n-cheese! I&#8217;ll eat in Corktown or get it to go @ <a href=\"http:\/\/slowstogo.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Slows to Go<\/a> in Midtown, anyway you cut it, it&#8217;s awesome!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li>\n<h4><strong><em><a href=\"http:\/\/mercuryburgerbar.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mercury Burger Bar<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Excellent Sandwiches, laidback and totally delicious!
