From the restaurant's website:
"Ever hear of the 'Curse of the Billy Goat,' also known as the Cubs Curse? Do you recall the Saturday Night Live sketch in which a short order cook would yell out to incoming patrons: 'Cheezborger! Cheezborger! No fries, cheeps! No Pepsi, Coke!'? All of the above have one thing in common: the World Famous Billy Goat Tavern, a Chicago legend since 1934."

"We will not tell you that the cheeseburger served at the Billy Goat Tavern is a gourmet's delight. Far from it. It is made of a beef patty so thin that it cannot be cooked rare; the cheese on top is impure, adulterated American. Side dishes? There are none, other than potato chips. If, like us, you are a devotee of hash house cuisine, it is a meal that will quicken your pulse."
