      Try this list. It may be a bit dated, though.
      Thank you both, I'll give Blimpy's a try.

        It's been a decade (or 2) since I had a Blimpy. Do they even have tables there? I seem to remember that people got their burger to go. The best thing about Blimpy's was that they were fast. Today, I'd rather just go to Red Robin, sit down and enjoy a good burger with a beer and endless fries.

          Not necessarily a burger, but I tried Frita Batidos around Christmas and the fritas (Cuban-style burgers) were awesome. http://fritabatidos.com/

          The chef was on "Top Chef" and used to have a very high-end restaurant in Kerrytown (near Zingerman's)

          Aside from that, I would second Blimpy's. It's cheaper than food!

            IIRC they have those little round tables and some booths. It's been years since I ventured over there and with good reason. My cardiologist would have a fit.

              If you are going to metion Eve and her Frita restaraunt, then I'll one up you in terms of both cost and "good God, that's an amazing burger"- The Grange on Liberty (basically, directly behind Frita Batidos on the next block over). Total opposite burger to Blimpy- it will cost you $15. But you'll want a $10 glass of wine go with it.

              (I'll admit to being friends with both Eve at Frita and Brandon- the owner/chef of The Grange.)

              Blimpy is awesome, though. Just be ready. They move fast.

                FWIW, the CCHA has suspended LSSU forward Andrew Perrault for one game due to contact to the head of Alex Guptill last friday. No penalty was called on the play.

                edited for a correction. The suspension was for a hit on Guptill , not Hunwick.

                  Not anymore. The food there is still top shelf, but the last few times I've been there, the line has been out the door and the wait has been awful. Even since it has been on TV, everyone wants to bring in their family of 8, and the newest generation of cooks just don't seem as fast, although that's partly due to having to slow down for people that don't know what they're doing.

                    I should be clearer. They really want you to KNOW what you want when they ask. In the right order. Don't delay in telling them.

                    Not that they are fast or anything...

                      FWIW, it's good that Jon Merrill and the program have come to a resolution that will have him back on the ice. May not be good for certain other programs but it's good for the game.

                        Thanks, appreciate it. Merrill did the right thing,the honorable thing by staying and taking the medicine for his indiscretion.

                            The fact that he didn't run from it is ... refreshing.

                              Mea culpa with respect to Merrill. I said very early on that I would be shocked if he played another game for Red, and I stand corrected. Good for Jon to have gotten his act together and sticking it out; good for Red for holding him accountable, which all too often does not happen when high-end players transgress.
                              Engelwood jack, that's the way.

                                Snowing here in Columbus now with a chance of 2 inches tonight and 2 more by tomorrow evening and more accumulation predicted the closer to Michigan. Any wolverine fans coming down for Fridays game need to take extra time and hopefully arrive safely!
