TWISTED SPOKE CHICAGO

real solid bar food... for $10 you can get a killer burger with cheddar, bacon, fried egg, lettuce, tomato, raw onion, pickle and jalapenos on a pretzel bun.. hand cut fries and a genny cream ale.. we added some hot wings and deep fried tempura bacon (cholesterol free) and spent $20 a piece.. real good lunch although my rare burger came medium and my egg was not runny (eeerrrrrrrrr!!!)
