It is not often that I write about food. Especially the So-called unhealthy food! But, Once in a blue moon, the family and I get the urge to eat the greasy stuff.
Well, today we tried a new place in Naperville called Meatheads Burgers.
At first I was skeptical because, let's face it I have a 3 and half year old and a 7 month old and eating out sometimes can be a challenge! The atmosphere of the restaurant/burger joint was fantastic, very open several booths to accommodate people with kids, fairly comfortable cushioned chairs for those of us who have lower back problems! And the decor was more modern so it appeals to the younger crowd who are into their WiFi gadgets. I admit, I am fast becoming one those techies myself! But I digress!
My wife and I ordered the burgers(and you can add many different topings to them, plenty of choices) my son got the grilled cheese and strawberry milkshake(he seems to only be in the grilled cheese phase right now!) but I also tried the NEW ENGLAND style hot dog.......
and I know what people would say, " Hey, Doc, you live in Chicago, how dare you not stick with the good old Chicago style???" I will say this, I LOVE my Chicago style dog better than the next guy but this Hot Dog(New England)....(I had to take a picture of!) was fantastic... It was not just the "Dog" and what I asked to get piled on, but the BUN.....It was a toasted, fresh bun unlike any bun I have ever tasted before!
What really impressed me the most about this place was that the owner/manager walked up to us when we got seated and asked us if we needed anything and how the food was. He also, engaged the kids and answered the questions. But he wanted to know if there was anything he could do BETTER, either the food itself or the experience. The menu was simple but great! He even said that they do a few things but they do it well. He delivered on that line and some!
To draw a parallel, I believe in health care many of these fine points are missed. That is why I have always strived to follow up with my patients, whether it is just calling them after a long appointment to see how they’re doing, or just dropping them a note to day “thank you” for participating in improving their own oral health and finishing their treatment, or appreciating their efforts to refer their friends or family or co-workers to my practice. Even sometimes sending them anonymous surveys so they can let us know if we are doing something right or things we can improve on! After all, I am (with my team) here to build friendships and relationships with a smile.
Back to the food, I would recommend this place if you have the URGE to try something greasy(maybe once in a few months!) As long as I know that I can burn off the grease before it sticks to my bun!
On a dental note, I did have to floss afterwards because no matter how good it tasted ... it was not meant to be stuck to my teeth! And as many of patients know my infamous quote: "In the battle between the germs and Dr. Adel, I WIN!"
