Behind the Cubs goat curse — and why its mention rankles Chicago fans

CHICAGO — I order an Old Style, because if you come to Billy Sianis’ old saloon underneath Michigan Avenue looking for a pumpkin-spice beer, or in search of a quadruple IPA with just a hint of citrus and honey … well, you’re not going to leave a happy customer.

Don’t order fries with your cheeseburger, either. They don’t take kindly to out-of-towners who think all burger joints marry fries with their burgers — or, as they are famously pronounced here (and on that classic “Saturday Night Live” skit) their CHEEZBORGERS. You want fries? There’s a McDonald’s up and around the corner.
