MEET THE JUDGE: MIKE MARR 🍔🍺

Culinary Fight Club® judges have one job: pick the champion plate that brings the heat in creativity, appearance, ex*****on — and most importantly, taste.

Next Thursday, 6/18, three judges will crown the Judges’ Choice Champion of the Bougie Burger Battle at Buffalo Creek Brewing, while the crowd decides the Taster’s Choice Champion.

First up in the judge’s seat: Mike Marr, owner and brewmeister of Buffalo Creek Brewing .

Mike knows what makes a killer burger experience: bold flavor, balance, and the perfect beer pairing. After 15 years of home brewing and visiting more than 300 breweries, he built Buffalo Creek Brewing into a destination for craft beer lovers, burger chasers, and food fanatics.

Now Mike steps into the Culinary Fight Club ® judging ring with a sharp palate and one question:

Which Bougie Burger deserves the W?

Before Mill Pond became one of Downtown Long Grove's most recognizable shopping destinations, it was just a vision. This Chicago Tribune article from July 28, 1974 showcases the original plans for what would become Mill Pond. The goal? To preserve the charm, character and historic feel that made Long Grove special.

More than 50 years later, Mill Pond remains a cornerstone of Historic Downtown Long Grove, home to unique shops, local businesses and the small-town atmosphere visitors love today.

For many longtime visitors, a trip to Historic Downtown Long Grove wasn’t complete without stopping by the beloved Pine Cone Christmas Shop. 💚 Sisters Amanda and Ramona were some of those visitors. Growing up, they loved visiting Long Grove’s Christmas stores with their family and dreamed of opening a Christmas shop of their own one day.

Years later, that childhood dream became reality when they opened Ritzy Christmas in the former Viking Store building, carrying on the tradition of year-round Christmas magic in Downtown Long Grove.

Today, visitors can still experience that same sense of wonder as they browse ornaments, décor and holiday treasures any time of year!

Have you visited Ritzy Christmas yet? Stop in and experience a little Christmas magic any time of year in Historic Downtown Long Grove.
