Dear Five Guys: Where have you been all my life?
Looking for an easy way to start a debate in this town? It's simple: just ask people who makes the best burger. Some will say Sobelman's. Some will say Kopp's. Some will say Elsa's or Solly's. Several other places will pop into the conversation, but they'll need to make room. The national chain -- Five Guys Burgers and Fries -- is announcing its presence with authority.

Best Marquette bar, 2009: Sobelman's Pub & Grill

Owners Dave and Melanie Sobelman have courted business from Marquette students and alums for nearly a decade, serving cold beer and good food in a clean, cozy former Schlitz tavern at 1900 W. St. Paul Ave.

Capitalism eats another small business owner
How do you define the line between capitalizing and expanding on an already successful business and retaining the unmatched qualities that made your business successful to begin with? And is it fair for me, as a customer, to even question such things? I want all local, small business owners to be successful, but at what price?
