CHICAGO, Jan. 7 (UPI) -- A Chicago restaurant's burger named for embattled Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich comes complete with a thick slice of bologna and a negotiable price.

Michael Caine, owner of restaurant Kuma's Corner, said the "#!@%¿ Blagojevich Burger" aka the "Bleeping Blagojevich Burger," also includes a 10-ounce patty, grilled cheese sandwiches for buns and a squirt of mustard in the shape of a dollar sign, the Chicago Tribune reported Wednesday.

Caine said he has sold about 70 of the sandwiches named for the Democratic governor since they were introduced last week. He said that while the price for the burger is listed as "negotiable," he won't sell one for less than $10.

"But if you want to pay more, sure," Caine said.
