Bill Jones, Managing Editor
Burger 21’s longtime hits
usually stick around on the
proverbial setlist (in food
terms: menu), but like any
rock band touring on a new
album, the Orland Park spot
always finds room to swap in
a few tracks from the latest
release.
Lately, those changes take
place once a quarter, as one
featured burger and shake depart
this mortal coil (or take
an indefinite hiatus until their

A brief look at what’s right around the corner for Burger 21
Burger 21 in Orland Park tends to swap its featured
burgers and shakes once a quarter. And with the
Southern Lucy burger and s’mores shake having

That leaves the question: What can fans expect Oct.
21, when the featured menu is expected to change
once again?
Here’s the inside scoop.
The Burger: An old favorite is set to return with the
establishment’s pizza burger seeing the light of day
once again.
The Shake: Something old, something new, they say.
Burger 21’s featured shake is to be a new recipe, offering
the chain’s take on the wedding cake, in shake form.
onion strings and bacon aioli,
along with a tomato jam, all
on a toasted brioche bun.
“It’s a big hit,” partner Ed
Karayanes said. “It’s a great
burger. The flavor’s just totally
different. The cheese
and the meat give it — it’s
two different flavors you

Karayanes said the key to
its success is that both the tomato
jam and the bacon aioli

As for the shake, there
is little explanation needed
as to why customers love a

and graham crackers, topped
with a toasted marshmallow,

Fans were simply ready and
waiting for an encore.
