The Andersonville Pub Crawl

It was “Night of the Living Dead” in Andersonville on March 26, when local theater troupe pH Productions hosted a throng of more than 300 zombie pub-crawlers. The groaning, moaning, inebriated horde swarmed Simon’s, Charlie’s Ale House and Hamburger Mary’s. Along the way, zombies clawed the windows of passing CTA buses and moaned for beers and brains. pH provided makeup stations to help participants get zombified if they weren’t already dead.

Hamburger Mary’s

When it comes to chicken sandwiches, you need some creativity, and Andersonville’s great burger joint Hamburger Mary’s succeeds in this regard. The simply titled Chicken Ranch Sandwich is the best of the bunch, a hodgepodge of char-grilled chicken breast, lettuce, tomato, ranch dressing and—here’s the best part—a spicy Mojo sauce. The tangy sauce mixed with the ranch makes this a messy affair, but it’s unlike anything you’ve ever tasted. Try it with a shake.
