The Duplex (3137 W. Logan Blvd), a restaurant and bar concept that celebrates the city’s best up-and-coming chefs has announced its two newest “tenants”.  The Duplex, which features rotating menus from local micro-concepts, has partnered with Chicago Chef David Rodriguez and sisters Michele and Jennifer Kaminski of 2 Korean Girls to bring burgers and modern Korean cuisine to the Logan Square neighborhood.  

SPACE COW

The brainchild of Chef David Rodriguez and The Duplex owner LeQoinne Rice, Space Cow is a burger-driven concept that offers gourmet sandwiches and sides. Partially inspired by the Toy Story movie’s Pizza Planet restaurant, Space Cow.  

Having grown up working in a variety of burger joints, Chef David has long wanted to create a burger concept of his own.  

Highlights from the Space Cow menu include:

  • The Galaxy Burger

Double Beef Patty, Munster Cheese, Grilled Onions, Sauteed Garlic Mushrooms

  • The Meateor Burger

Double Beef Patty, Cheddar Cheese, 14-hour Smoked BBQ Brisket, Housemade Mac n Cheese

  • The Black Hole Burger

Vegetarian Black Bean Patty, Blue Cheese Crumbles, Mixed Greens, Housemade Basil Aioli

  • Portabella Fries

Breaded Portabella Mushrooms, served with housemade Garlic Aioli

Guests can opt to replace the Beef Patty in each burger for a housemade Chicken Patty, Chorizo Patty or vegetarian Black Bean Patty.
