🚨 Congratulations! The first person you send this to has officially been selected to buy you Michael’s cheese fries 🍟🧀

Sorry, we don’t make the rules 🤷‍♀️

Crispy fries + our famous Michael’s Premium Melting Cheese = worth sending this to as many people as necessary until someone gets the hint. 😂

Stories like this make our day 💛

These customers came in with suitcases in hand, and we found out they had just landed from Philadelphia and came straight from the airport to Michael’s because they’d heard it was a must-try while visiting Chicagoland. 🥹🌭

We’ve been lucky enough to call Highland Park home for almost 50 years, and it means so much to see our little neighborhood spot shared with people from near and far.

Thanks for making Michael’s part of your trip! And to our local Michael’s fam who keeps spreading the word, we appreciate you more than you know. 💛

Whether you’re coming from across town or across the country, come visit us in Downtown Highland Park and see what Michael’s is all about! 🌭🍟
