"I like mine with lettuce and tomato.  Heinz Fifty-Seven and  French-Fried potatoes."

I ate at a place called Cheeseburger In Paradise in Waikiki a few years back with my friend, Mike, while we were working in Hawaii.  They had great food, but like most places in Waikiki, it was way too crowded.  I had heard that this restaurant's owner, Cheesebuger, Inc., was not affliated in any way with nor endorsed by Jimmy Buffet. 

Recently I noticed they were building a Cheeseburger in Paradise location in Downers Grove, and I got curious.  I did some research and learned that this Cheeseburger In Paradise is not affliated with the restaurants of the same name in Hawaii or Cheeseburger, Inc.  This location is part of a new chain owned by a partnership of Outback Steakhouse, Inc. and Margaritaville Holdings.  Margaritaville Holdings is Jimmy's company.

Downers Grove is the chain's second location.  Their first restaurant was opened in August, 2002 in a suburb of Indianapolis, IN.  New Locations are now under construction in Madison, WI, Fredericksburg, VA, and Omaha, NE.  Jimmy personally chose to enter the Omaha market after talking to Warren Buffet, his distant cousin who lives in Omaha.  Jimmy reportedly said, "Warren Buffett told me if you put it here, he'll buy the first burger. Well, I'm no dummy."

Read more about the new restaurant in The Chicago Sun-Times article.  I'll let you know how the burgers are when I get there.
