Passengers on the Lake Shore Limited train line can visit three of the country’s best foodie cities: Chicago, New York, and Boston. The burger by the same name captures the essence of all of these cities with strips of bacon, a fried egg, and beer cheese sauce. The best part is, you only need to make one stop!</p>http://thegrandrenovation.com/post/23109288997http://thegrandrenovation.com/post/23109288997Tue, 15 May 2012 09:59:01 -0700diningvegas<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m410pfGrYz1r3ndd2o1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><strong>What goes into The Grand Renovation?</strong></p> <p>308,000 yards of carpet. 35,000 gallons of paint. 440,000 linear yards of wall coverings.

Transporting visitors to our nation’s capital is an important job and a burger created in honor of the Capital Limited train line must truly epitomize American cuisine. With a mixture of two of America’s most beloved condiments, mustard and mayonnaise, plus grilled Romaine lettuce and pickled red onions, this feast on a bun is a great representation of the passion for food felt in Washington, D.C. </p>http://thegrandrenovation.com/post/22716925837http://thegrandrenovation.com/post/22716925837Wed, 09 May 2012 07:59:05 -0700vegasdining<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3rg0cYbUT1r3ndd2o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><strong>Happy National Burger Month!</strong></p> <p><a href="http://mgmgrand.com/restaurants/nobhill-tavern-restaurant.aspx" title="Nobhill Tavern at MGM Grand" target="_blank">Nobhill Tavern by Michael Mina</a> at MGM Grand is celebrating National Burger Month with tasty weekly burger specials inspired by America’s train lines.
