I succumb to click bait now and again, especially when it has to do with burgers. As I was scrolling through the beautifully illustrated list of highest rated burgers in the country at farandwide.com I was getting upset that Chicago had no representation. A lot of meat from TX, CA, PA and even TN but no IL love. Until I got to picture 22 out of 30 and saw the glorious hunk of cow that is the Minotaur Burger from Kuma’s Corner:
Then 25 of 30 the unmistakable single cheeseburger from Au Cheval:
Which now has me hungry but also thinking… where else in Chicago has outstanding burgers that should have made this list? Off the top of my head: Lockdown, Uncommon Ground, The Loyalist, Umami, and (not Chicagocentric but equally good eats) Shake Shack.
