If there was one food I could eat for the rest of my life it wouldn’t be cherry-flavored Pez, rather the sweet potato fries at Rockit. Yet everyone associates the River North bar/restaurant with their burgers. Along with the fries, there is actually one specialty burger (the restaurant’s recent “Burgerfest” award-winning one, in fact) that I’d like to mention as one of the lesser known highlights of the record-album-morphed menu, the lobster burger. First off, everything is better with avocado, and this burger piles it on with lettuce, tomatoes, and a thick juicy, lobster meat patty all on a soft bun with lemon crème fraîche and, of course, sweet potato fries on the side. Runner-up NKF menu items include the barbecue salmon and the bread basket (pretzel roll!). 22 W. Hubbard St., 312.645.6000
