$5 “BURKER” WEEK IS BACK
David Burke Primehouse
In anticipation of BBQ season in Chicago, Executive Chef Rick Gresh is bringing back $5 Burker Week in a big way from Monday, May 25 to Saturday, May 30 during David Burke’s Primehouse lunch.
The "Burker Week" is a pretty extensive burger paradise, featuring a whole new menu of limited-edition burgers, including the signature 40 Day Dry Aged Burker for the special price of just $5.
The Burger Fiend definitely has his eye on that guy!
Other burger highlights include the Sam Adams Summer Ale Battered Chicken Burger ($5), Crab Cake Sliders ($8), Burke Castle Salad ($7), and the amazing Foot Long Black Pepper Benton Bacon Burger ($12) - BURGER FIEND...HEYYYYY!
Unique are the extras that give you the option to customize a chosen burger. To make it a "Big Pappa Burker,” decadent toppers ($3-12) include Angry Shrimp, Lobster Slaw, Fried Egg and Oscar.
Or the table can order a full plate of Ultimate Burger Toppings for only $5, which includes any and every burger need: housemade ketchup; garlic crushed mustard; red onion, jumbo dill, garlic & chili pickles; caramelized onions & mushrooms; and smoked bacon.
Side choices include Primehouse favorites like Truffle Asiago Fries ($6) and Tempura Beans ($7), and the new limited-time Salt & Vinegar Chips ($6).
There are a bevy of bevs and beers to boot, notably a selection of Sam Adams offerings such as its Summer Ale, Boston Lager, Brown Ale and Honey Porter - all for $4 each. Other bevs include the original Love ‘N Lime wine spritzer ($9 glass/$20 pitcher) and creamy Kentucky Bourbon Vanilla Milkshake ($5).
Unfortunately (or fortunately), the special Burker Week menu is available at lunch only from 11:30am to 3:00pm. Reservations are recommended.
