If you ever move away from home and visit only like 3 times a year is there a local restaurant that you absolutely must indulge yourself in?

This weekend I went back to northwestern indiana and I just had to go to the best hamburger/hotdog place called "Madvek's". It's located on Calumet Avenue in Hammond, IN. I googled the restaurant and found better blog entries than mine. Here is an excellent forum post of a toursit's account of the excellent food.



I just absolutely love there loose cheese burgers



As you can tell I *borrowed* those photos to place in my blog.. we all do it..

The only pet peeve is that they are closed on Sundays and most of the time I would make my visit home on a Sunday. I have such fond memories of the place. I'd drive there to get lunch for my family a few times.. or dinner. They have such good cheese burgers and other foods!
