A pizza & burger bar whose eats don't match the carpet

Zeke's Unchained Animal burger and beer — Drew Wood

Zeke's sign sums them up better than any journalistic intro ever could

So, so true. The name, by the way, is derived from a co-owner's drag-racing great uncle and the fact that the resto "unchained" its owners from corporate jobs

There's that carpet! "Artsy garage chic" would be a nice way to describe this

Now erase all that from your mind, because these Ragout-Stuffed Mushrooms are beautiful

8in thin-crust pizzas (sub $10) also look great, like this super-spiced Not-So-Minnesota Nice topped with andouille, onions, and peppers sauteed in cayenne and chili oil.

Half-pound burgers like the totes-tender lamb patty/ pepper jack/ cheddar Unchained are served with house salt & vinegar chips. Do you even remember that carpet anymore

And to help you forget everything, there'll be local craft drafts and a full bar once their liquor license clears. But for now, you can at least cop a margherita.
