Next week from November 9 to 13, Primehouse in Chicago is celebrating Burger Week by offering their (AHT-approved) 40 Day Dry Aged "Burker" for only $5 during lunch instead of the usual $12. They're also offering an Angry BBQ Chicken Burger ($5), Shrimp & Chorizo Burger ($9), and Pastrami Burger ($7). You can download the menu here [PDF] and make reservations at Open Table.

It should be noted that the special doesn't include the asiago-truffle fries, which are normally included in the regular $12 cost of the burger. They're listed on the Burger Week menu a la carte at $6, so if you order both (and those fries are excellent), you're really saving just a buck over the regular price.
Like many others here, I don't feel comfortable calling non-beef sandwiches "burgers." That being said, the shrimp and chorizo concoction sounds pretty amazing.
@jjchampion: Thanks for the info! Those fries are really tasty..I wouldn't wanna miss em. I'm perfectly alright with skipping the other "burgers" though, haha.
Just had lunch there, and although it's late in Burke's burger week I am compelled to mention that the $5 burger special doesn't include the regular toppings of garlic spinach, crispy shallots, and bacon mayo. Just the burger on a bun. The dry aged beef is absolutely good enough to enjoy plain, and it's still a good deal at $5, but this ain't the burger in DZ's recent review.
@jjchampion: I was there for lunch today as well. You're right that they weren't technically included, but if requested, as my dining companion did, they did throw them in at no extra charge. I had the pastrami burger, which was incredible (40% pastrami, 60% chuck, with onions, swiss and bacon mustard all on a rye bun).
