Miller's Bar • 1941

The 7-ounce Ground Round burger arrives on wax paper — no plate, no fuss — at this Michigan Avenue neighborhood bar where George Miller first flipped on the lights back in 1941. Patrons still walk up to pay cash on the honor system, same as they did eighty-plus years ago, after polishing off cheeseburgers that are custom-ground and hand-pattied each morning. Pickles and onions sit in bowls on tables that remember decades of Ford workers, hockey legends, and burger pilgrims who keep coming back.
