Was I just being obtuse when skimming through thread titles in here, or is there really not one about outstanding beef burgers?
Five Guys on Clybourne, just south of Southport. In-N-Out type chain, just opened a couple months ago. Great burger, better fries.
Kuma's Corner has the best burger in the city.

This.
And each burger is named after a metal band, which makes them awesomer.

Every time there's a show at the Beat Kitchen that we want to see, we hit up Kuma's first. Looks like early April is going to be that time.
That place just rules. Tons of great beer and the best burger around. Just have to get there somewhat early or you'll wait forever. The place is tiny.

I see RV is stealing his material from last week's Shoutbox again.

Hamburger Mary's in Andersonville. Great burgers and drag queens.

The bar is great. Good beer selection, and they know their liquor too. I discovered North Shore Distillery there. And when you order a single malt, they serve it so you can drink it properly, even if you don't know how to properly drink it.

If it was really like In-N-Out then the fries would suck.

I meant the comparison more along the lines of Five Guys also being one of them there highfalutin' upscale fast food places, with a limited menu, and fresh beef cooked right there in front of your grill.

It's no longer a buck, brohan. It's $1.19. No, the
McDouble, which is a double cheeseburger with one less slice of cheese--is a buck. Still at $1.19 for two patties and two slices of cheese, that's hard to beat.

You could just bring your own piece of cheese and save the .19. Knowwhatimean?
Since when did they come out with this "McDouble" character? I need to eat more fast food I guess, or at least go when I'm sober.

I can be the third in on the McDouble. The odd thing is, at the McDs I first saw it at, the menu had the McDouble at 1$, the Double Cheeseburger at $1.19, and a cheeseburger at $1.39, so apparently the beef patty has negative value.
Also, Monks makes a tasty burger in the loop.

I like Moody's but I'm not all that impressed by the beer selection. The food is decent but for Chicago I don't think it's top tier. Great patio dining in summer though. I could sit there all night.

Their bartenders can actually serve a good cocktail too, which is true of a depressingly few places in the city. Seriously, go there but go an
hour and a half before you plan on eating. Also, full menu at the bar.

You can stop right there. Frankly, I would have thought that Moody's had nothing but Old Pile. It's not a place to get your drink on unless you woke up in 1979 and went there. Dark dining room. Peanuts on the table. Every time I go there I feel like I've walked into a time machine. Good burger, though.

The four-pound, $20 burger features five beef patties, five slices of cheese, nearly a cup of chili and liberal doses of salsa and corn chips, all on an eight-inch sesame-seed bun. That's a lot of dough!
The Grand Rapids Press reports that anyone who eats the entire 4,800-calorie behemoth in one sitting will receive a special T-shirt. Saner fans can divide it up with a pizza cutter and share.
The Midwest League team is a single-A affiliate of the Detroit Tigers."

The guy in the picture appears to be eating the aluminum plate as well as the burger. It probably doesn't add any additional calories.

Was I just being obtuse when skimming through thread titles in here, or is there really not one about outstanding beef burgers?
Five Guys on Clybourn, just south of Southport. In-N-Out type chain, just opened a couple months ago. Great burger, better fries.
I don't know nothin' 'bout no In-N-Out or nuthin', but I can certainly vouch for Five Guys.
The burger is very good. The regular burger is great, but definitely fast food-type, which is what you're looking for when you eat here anyway. The fries are awesome. The regular ones are good, the Cajun ones are also good. By the time we tried the Cajun ones, we were pretty full.
The menu is very limited. Burgers and hot dogs. Burgers can be gotten as a junior (single) or regular. Both the burgers and the hot dogs come with optional bacon and/or cheese. I think they also have a veggie burger, but I can't imagine anyone ordering one. I mean, why? If you're a vegetarian, they also have grilled cheese. But, again, why? Unless you're 12.
They also have a huge condiment selection, all of which is included in the burger. They have the usual, but you can also get mushrooms, grilled onions, bbq sauce. They also have jalapenos. I was expecting the canned/jarred ones, but no! They're fresh.
I may have just told everyone what they already knew. I don't care. This place is good. I positive (are we still saying that?).

Yes, except for the morbidly curiousl side of me.
The burger at Sola (http://www.sola-restaurant.com/) is a meat sandwich so decadent it made Caligula's member throb with pleasure.
Kobe beef, topped with bacon, topped with some fancy-pants gourmet cheese I hadn't heard of that was awesome, topped with grilled onions, all on a pretzel roll. With truffle parmesan fries on the side to boot. One of the most enjoyable pieces of hot meat I've ever shoved in my mouth. And if you really want to go all out, share a side dish of their outstanding mac & cheese with your husky dining mates.
The burger is a special that's only available on Sunday and (I think) Tuesday nights, and for lunch.

The burger is a special that's only available on Sunday and (I think) Tuesday nights, and for lunch.
I think the description of the short rib sammich gave me a boner.

Yeah. It's all right. The fries are better than the burgers, in my opinion, but I might not have picked the right burger.

Yup. It's replaced the Caribbean restaurant that used to be there. Thankfully, the African restauarnt (African Harambee) is still there.

Was I just being obtuse when skimming through thread titles in here, or is there really not one about outstanding beef burgers?
Five Guys on Clybourn, just south of Southport. In-N-Out type chain, just opened a couple months ago. Great burger, better fries.
I don't know nothin' 'bout no In-N-Out or nuthin', but I can certainly vouch for Five Guys.
The burger is very good. The regular burger is great, but definitely fast food-type, which is what you're looking for when you eat here anyway. The fries are awesome. The regular ones are good, the Cajun ones are also good. By the time we tried the Cajun ones, we were pretty full.
The menu is very limited. Burgers and hot dogs. Burgers can be gotten as a junior (single) or regular. Both the burgers and the hot dogs come with optional bacon and/or cheese. I think they also have a veggie burger, but I can't imagine anyone ordering one. I mean, why? If you're a vegetarian, they also have grilled cheese. But, again, why? Unless you're 12.
They also have a huge condiment selection, all of which is included in the burger. They have the usual, but you can also get mushrooms, grilled onions, bbq sauce. They also have jalapenos. I was expecting the canned/jarred ones, but no! They're fresh.
I may have just told everyone what they already knew. I don't care. This place is good. I positive (are we still saying that?).
Bump. Looks like a Five Guys will be opening up at the southwest corner of Clark and Fullerton any day now. It's on my route to work, so I'm looking forward to giving it a shot.

The Counter (http://www.thecounterburger.com/) on Diversey just west of Clark...very good burgers and shakes, and solid fries. But if you're just a simple douche like myself who wants a bacon cheeseburger and doesn't really care about dozens of high-falutin' toppings like salsa and pineapple, go to Five Guys instead.

Finally had dinner at Five Guys. The burger was pretty good, definitely not the best. But good. The fries, however, were awesome. And I put a shitload of malt vinegar on them. Major pro move.

Ate at Rootstock (http://www.yelp.com/biz/rootstock-chicago-2) last night.
The menu isn't huge, but what they have is outstanding, especially the cured meats, burger and the pork shoulder.
The best burger I've had in years.
And they have Matilda on tap and about 150 other bottled beers, lots of specialty run stuff.
Known more for their selections of wine.
They even have bacon toffee, which was magical.
Cool place, if you hate hipsters you might not like it. California clipper is right down the road for drinks after. Or the Continental if it's late.

This place is about a mile from where I live, so I decided to try it out today. Excellent recommendation. They only have one kind of burger, but it's fantastic. That article wasn't lying about cooking it in a stick of butter. The fries were also quite tasty. I've never had Kuma's, so I can't compare the two, but $10 for a burger & fries this good is fine by me.

Ate there last night for the first time post-hockee game (after stopping into Kumas to find the standard hour+ wait) I had the #2 (blue cheeze onion straws, spicy ketchup), friend had the green chilli and fried egg burger, both great. They also have awsome sides (split the fried pickles and okra and the truffle parmaign fries), a good bar and a great vibe. Have to agree this place is homemade A-1 steakballs.
For those in the Lincolnshire area, Sullivan's Steakhouse has bar food for $5 at lunchtime on Thursdays.
Which means, a damn fine 8 oz. burger (Cheddar, Swiss or Bleu cheese) with fries.
Most of the burger places in Toronto seem to be overrated, although Burger Shoppe Quality Meats (http://www.burgershoppe.com/newsite1/splash.html) was good-but-pricey.
A less-likely but possibly-better burger destination would be Caplansky's Smoked Meat Deli (http://caplanskys.com/). Their hamburgers are cooked with intermixed smoke meat, giving them an extremely unique -- and delicious -- flavor. The only problem might be bringing yourself to order a burger over a smoked meat sandwich, which obliterates anything I've tasted (including Schwartz's in Montreal and Katz's in New York).

Their hamburgers are cooked with intermixed smoke meat, giving them an extremely unique -- and delicious -- flavor. The only problem might be bringing yourself to order a burger over a smoked meat sandwich, which obliterates anything I've tasted (including Schwartz's in Montreal and Katz's in New York).
Wrong.
THI. Just had a pound of pastrami shipped to me from Katz's. It was off the charts good. I could never imagine some shithole in Canada is better than a prepackaged serving of Carl Budding.
It's also the most sensual of all the salted cured meats.

Two Canadians are sitting around bored so they decide to play a game of 20 questions. The first guy thinks of moose dick as his answer.
"Ok, start guessing," he says to his pal.
"Is it something you can eat?"
"I guess...."
"Is it moose dick?"

Katz's pastrami is the common ground TDubbs and I share. If you find yourself there, tip the mavyn and you'll get a good 4 inches of meat on your sandwich, and that meat will leave you moaning like Meg Ryan.

I'm so disappointed that you'd make the assumption that a "shithole in Canada" can't be as good (http://www.gourmet.com/restaurants/2009/09/zane-caplansky-deli) or better than a place like Katz's. Guess that means you'll never bother to try it.

Kuma's Corner has the best burger in the city.
This.
And each burger is named after a metal band, which makes them awesomer.
Every time there's a show at the Beat Kitchen that we want to see, we hit up Kuma's first. Looks like early April is going to be that time.
That place just rules. Tons of great beer and the best burger around. Just have to get there somewhat early or you'll wait forever. The place is tiny.
Finally had the Kuma burger. Holy tits what a great burg. And the waffle fries rule.
Their mac and cheese is awesome too. It's an enormous serving so even if you split it you'll have several days worth of leftovers.

Oh. THAT'S what that was.
I went to DMK (http://www.yelp.com/biz/dmk-burger-bar-chicago) the other day. It's a pretty long wait if you get there after 6, but it's well worth it. $8 for any burger on the menu. I got the #1, which was bacon, grilled onions of some kind, aged cheddar cheese and BBQ sauce on artisan bread. They also have five different kinds of fries you can order. We got the sweet potato fries with an aioli sauce (delicious) and parmesan fries with truffle cream (not good). They also have a large beer selection. Good stuff.
Hit the new/old Claim Company last night. I had skirt steak while The Wife had a Motherlode. Place was packed. Makes sense for nostalgic purposes. It was good, but not worth a long wait, tho.

Finally went to Kuma's last weekend. With the amplitude of the music, I was jealous of The Wife's detachable hearing device.
Very good burgers, but we got there at 5:45 and were served at 9:20. Not worth that long of a wait.
The BBQ Pork served over fries was better than the burger.

DPD:
Finally went to Kuma's last weekend. With the amplitude of the music, I was jealous of The Wife's detachable hearing device.
Very good burgers, but we got there at 5:45 and were served at 9:20. Not worth that long of a wait.
The BBQ Pork served over fries was better than the burger.
Turn down that damn loud rock music !
Only Chuck could spend 90% of a post about Kuma's complaining about stuff.
You want to hear how the Neurosis burger was cooked? How Crank 2 was playing on the flat screen over the bar (with captions so you could follow along)?
Is your wife your grandma?
Just deaf with a cochlear implant.
I'll give her a cochlear implant.
ZING!
I'll just say that getting there at 5:45 justifies the beating Chuck is taking.
I've still never been to Kuma's, and it's mainly because their wait is nearly as legendary as their burgers and I just haven't yet properly planned for it or decided to put up with the wait. I mean, 5:45? That's like the scientifically-tested optimal time for getting the most people to show up for dinner at the same time. What a Soriano! Did you also bring the kids so they could ogle all of the naked ladies for 4 hours?

It's almost as if Chuck purposely went at such a terrible time, knowing that there'd be a hellacious wait and he'd have at least one thing to bitch about.

If only he offered to eat everything on the menu, pay for the burgers with keys to his house and car, and suggest they move the cute waitress to dishwashing detail because the homely waitress isn't good at washing dishes, we'd call it a Hendry.

One could argue that calling it an "Internet Chuck" is worse.
At least Hendry got himself a DLee and a Aramis before the wheels fell off.

I did once travel across town on a Saturday to hit up Hot Doug's (http://www.desipio.com/messageboard/index.php?topic=1344.msg18773#msg18773) which, is oddly, enough, right around the corner from Kuma's, so I guess it's
possible.
That said, we do play softball right there as well. Maybe I can hit it up before a late game. Who's with me? Slak? Show me the ropes?

I've still never been to Kuma's, and it's mainly because their wait is nearly as legendary as their burgers and I just haven't yet properly planned for it or decided to put up with the wait. I mean, 5:45? That's like the scientifically-tested optimal time for getting the most people to show up for dinner at the same time. What a Soriano! Did you also bring the kids so they could ogle all of the naked ladies for 4 hours?
Wait...this place has amazing burgers, pulled pork AND naked ladies?
I'm with Pen in wanting further explanation. I'm against Pen in pretty much everything else.
Ever since you defended Rick Aguilera I've been secretly crusading against you anyway, so this comes as a welcome relief.
Now about those naked ladies covered in pulled pork....
I did? Just as a Twin, right?
I didn't see this place discussed (In fact, I think I've only seen Kuma's and McDonald's discussed), but I had a place called Uncommon Ground (http://www.uncommonground.com/) last week, and that burger was damn good. Food's pretty pricey compared to what I'm used to down here, but it was worth the money. Good atmosphere. Good location (about a block from where I was staying). This place also has Thrill's stamp of approval, which probably just means that's where he picks up his boyfriends.

Yea, my aunt said the place was organic and I was instantly turned off by it, as I have an adversity towards anything that props it up to be so healthy, but I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of it. In other words, I should be such a Fatty McFatterson.

Even in the category of "fast food" burgers or burgers from national/regional chains, it must be pretty goddamned good if it's better then Five Guys.

In and Out is really good - but I'm a Five Guys..guy. That's my favorite fast food burger hands down. The combo of that burger and their incredible fries seals it for me.
But when you're talking about sit down burgers I don't think you can even compare. It's not a rational conversation. I really need to get back to Kuma's.

I'll go back to my distinction...there are really two types of burgers. Fast food burgers. Always well-done on a gridle, thinner patties usually no more than 1/4 pound. Those are the ones that are usually gotten as doubles and such. Five Guys is it, although this In-N-Out was really good.
Then there are the 'gourmet' types. Those are typically grilled and are cooked to temperature. Generally, those are in the 8-10 ounce size. Unless you're a Yeti-sized fatass, there are no doubles of those. They will tend to have more obscure toppings (maybe obscure isn't the right word...toppings you wouldn't normally associate with burgers; brie cheese for example). The burger itself will even sometimes be made of a better cut of beef (top sirloin, etc). This is all about Kuma's. I have also heard good things about the new place near the Clybourn/North Ave coridor...I forget what it's called.

I'll go back to my distinction...there are really two types of burgers. Fast food burgers. Always well-done on a gridle, thinner patties usually no more than 1/4 pound. Those are the ones that are usually gotten as doubles and such. Five Guys is it, although this In-N-Out was really good.
Then there are the 'gourmet' types. Those are typically grilled and are cooked to temperature. Generally, those are in the 8-10 ounce size. Unless you're a Yeti-sized fatass, there are no doubles of those. They will tend to have more obscure toppings (maybe obscure isn't the right word...toppings you wouldn't normally associate with burgers; brie cheese for example). The burger itself will even sometimes be made of a better cut of beef (top sirloin, etc). This is all about Kuma's. I have also heard good things about the new place near the Clybourn/North Ave coridor...I forget what it's called.

Their fries do suck. What kind did you get? I'm guessing Double Double.
Didn't see any double-double. I had the number 1. Double cheese burger, fries, drink. There were only about three options...
There's a fairly substantial secret menu that apparently is only a secret to you.

Just had an In-N-Out burger...good shit.
Best. Burger. Ever.
Worst. Fries. Ever.
Yeah, fries were meh. Also, best ever? Meh. It was good. But best ever?
Seems this would need a qualifier to begin with. I've never had In-N-Out but I would dismiss such a claim immediately, unless it was in the category of "fast food" burgers. No way can it be better than the burgers you get at various sit-down restaurants in Chicago alone.
Even in the category of "fast food" burgers or burgers from national/regional chains, it must be pretty goddamned good if it's better then Five Guys.

Urban Burger Bar?
So, I just got back from Fatburger. No one has mentioned it yet...so here goes.
Good shit, man. It's not quite an In-N-Out, but it's big and juicy and delicious. The patties seem to be fresh and not round. You can also get a freid egg on it for less than a buck more.
The fries are good, too.
Mostly, this place is worth trying if you've already had an In-N-Out. I prefer it to any of the fast food joints we get in Chicago (besides Five Guys).

No. I'm actually not a fan of that. I love burgers, I love fried eggs. For some reason, I never liked that combo. I do know others do, and I will be damned before I begrudge them of soemthing that seems so damn good.
Besides, I didn't know it at the time of ordering, but that damn burger was fucking huge. It was delicious as is.

Although, to be fair, Urlacher gets a shot at a rematch in a month. But that one's been sticking in my craw for 4 years now. Hope Lovie hasn't replay challenged the Bears out of the playoffs by 12/12.
And I would like to let you know that I'm an excellent
driver speller, but I gave up on the spelling of that godforsaken state years go. So I don't even care. Go back to Russia, New England.

So, I just got back from Fatburger. No one has mentioned it yet...so here goes.
Good shit, man. It's not quite an In-N-Out, but it's big and juicy and delicious. The patties seem to be fresh and not round. You can also get a freid egg on it for less than a buck more.
The fries are good, too.
Mostly, this place is worth trying if you've already had an In-N-Out. I prefer it to any of the fast food joints we get in Chicago (besides Five Guys).
Eat a salad, lardass.
You don't win friends with salad.
More gazpacho, anyone?
It's tomato soup, served ICE COLD!
Go back to Massachusettes Russia!
How'd I do?
About as well as we could have hoped'd
Dammit.
Pretty sure I'm confusing it with a Homer line from a Sideshow Bob episode.
Sad, too, because in person I do a pretty good Barney Gumble.
I know. Shocking.
...and the hole gets deeper.

Me too. It's pretty much the only light in my sad pathetic internet life.
I literally burst out laughing when I saw this was the response.
It's outstanding. Whenever the full-size version comes up, I run to the kitchen and grab a glass of water just so I can do a spit-take. If this is a Morts creation, kudos.

Just had an In-N-Out burger...good shit.
Best. Burger. Ever.
Worst. Fries. Ever.
Yeah, fries were meh. Also, best ever? Meh. It was good. But best ever?
Seems this would need a qualifier to begin with. I've never had In-N-Out but I would dismiss such a claim immediately, unless it was in the category of "fast food" burgers. No way can it be better than the burgers you get at various sit-down restaurants in Chicago alone.
Even in the category of "fast food" burgers or burgers from national/regional chains, it must be pretty goddamned good if it's better then Five Guys.
I'll take you to a hole in the wall bar in the middle of West Bumblefuck and order you a cheeseburger for two dollars that will knock In N Out's shit out of the fuckin' box, piss on it, wipe it's ass with it and throw it at a cop. And the fries are cut from actual potatos, right on the spot, bitch.
Then I may or may not fuck you in the ass.

Appreciate the recommendation.
Yeah, I was gonna say that list sucks. Anyone who knows anything about Chicago knows that the Billy Goat burger, compared to all of the choices in Chicago, sucks a real billy goat's left nut. If you're visiting Chicago, then yeah check out the Billy Goat on Hubbard under the Michigan Avenue bridge, have a beer and a burger, but bear in mind you're doing it for the ambience and the kitsch--not for a particularly special burger. The various Billy Goats are actually good places to hit up for an omelette and hash brown breakfast but their burger should be nowhere near anyone's top burger list for Chicago. Also, Five Guys--while outstanding--is a chain that's based in Pennsylvania. In the same vein, I guess Portillo's can stay. Even though it's a chain, it's a local chain, although if your not getting a beef or beef/sausage combo, you're a dope. In fairness, though, I've never had Portillo's burger.
M Burger--isn't that also a chain?
I've been to the Grafton several times, never knew their burger was so special but it least it's an original Chicago place. What's not on the list but should be is the Hop Haus. There's one at Clark and Howard in Rogers Park and one on Franklin and Grand in River North. That's one of the best burgers I've ever had.
Point is, that list is only half-way accurate. Thanks, Oleg. Thanks a lot for another useless HuffPo link.

Yeah, I was gonna say that list sucks. Anyone who knows anything about Chicago knows that the Billy Goat burger, compared to all of the choices in Chicago, sucks a real billy goat's left nut. If you're visiting Chicago, then yeah check out the Billy Goat on Hubbard under the Michigan Avenue bridge, have a beer and a burger, but bear in mind you're doing it for the ambience and the kitsch--not for a particularly special burger. The various Billy Goats are actually good places to hit up for an omelette and hash brown breakfast but their burger should be nowhere near anyone's top burger list for Chicago. Also, Five Guys--while outstanding--is a chain that's based in Pennsylvania. In the same vein, I guess Portillo's can stay. Even though it's a chain, it's a local chain, although if your not getting a beef or beef/sausage combo, you're a dope. In fairness, though, I've never had Portillo's burger.
M Burger--isn't that also a chain?
I've been to the Grafton several times, never knew their burger was so special but it least it's an original Chicago place. What's not on the list but should be is the Hop Haus. There's one at Clark and Howard in Rogers Park and one on Franklin and Grand in River North. That's one of the best burgers I've ever had.
Point is, that list is only half-way accurate. Thanks, Oleg. Thanks a lot for another useless HuffPo link.
The PANK helmet is so Huey doesn't hurt himself stepping off his soapbox.
So you *like* the Billy Goat burger then?
No. I *like* it when you get riled up over something Chicago-related.
Well excuse *me* for having some civic pride, you confederate dandy.
...and which of you guys drinks liquor that has the Chicago flag on the label?
I was disappointed to hear that Shitty's does not sell this particular spirit.

M Burger isn't a chain - didn't know this when I went there, but apparently it's a Lettuce restauraunt (http://www.leye.com/restaurants/directory/m-burger). I'd put it on par with Steak N Shake, a solid burg but nothing spectacular. If I remember correctly they had the same skinny fries as Steak N Shake.
The first time I went to Grafton I left thinking that it was one of the best burgers EVAH. Strangely when I went back it seemed just alright. Maybe the ketchup was extra good the first time or something. Good mac and cheese there though.

I always associate the Grafton with their curry fries. I'm sure I've had the burger, though it's been years so I just don't recall how good it is. I may have to check in to remind myself.
DPD.
Also, Monks on Lake Street (best burger in the Loop IMO) and Moody's on Broadway in Edgewater should be on the list ahead of some of these posers.
The best burger I've ever had in Chicago? Well, there's this little local joint called The White Castle. They have these miniature burgers served on rolls, which they call "Sliders." Now that's a real Chicago classic. 3 of those and a hot dog with extra ketchup and I feel like local Chicago personality Jim Belushi felt when filming the classic comedy Curly Sue: satisfied with a job well done.
McDonald's #1 sits right in Des Plaines, and theie headquarters are in Oakbrook, which is Chicago enough.

Guys, the only burger worth mentioning is Fuddruckers. It has "World's Greatest Hamburgers" right there on the sign outside.
The only problem I have with it is they don't have TVs, which means that I'm not able to eat there on Wednesdays at 9:00, lest I miss "The Defenders" on CBS, which is truly the greatest thing to ever happen to television since "According to Jim".

A list. (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/01/11/best-burgers-in-chicago-p_n_807506.html#s221718&title=Kumas_Corner_2900)
Epic Burger should be nowhere near that list. What should be on that list is J. Wellington's. I urge you all to go there if you can find a minute.
Appreciate the recommendation.
Yeah, I was gonna say that list sucks. Anyone who knows anything about Chicago knows that the Billy Goat burger, compared to all of the choices in Chicago, sucks a real billy goat's left nut. If you're visiting Chicago, then yeah check out the Billy Goat on Hubbard under the Michigan Avenue bridge, have a beer and a burger, but bear in mind you're doing it for the ambience and the kitsch--not for a particularly special burger. The various Billy Goats are actually good places to hit up for an omelette and hash brown breakfast but their burger should be nowhere near anyone's top burger list for Chicago. Also, Five Guys--while outstanding--is a chain that's based in Pennsylvania. In the same vein, I guess Portillo's can stay. Even though it's a chain, it's a local chain, although if your not getting a beef or beef/sausage combo, you're a dope. In fairness, though, I've never had Portillo's burger.
M Burger--isn't that also a chain?
I've been to the Grafton several times, never knew their burger was so special but it least it's an original Chicago place. What's not on the list but should be is the Hop Haus. There's one at Clark and Howard in Rogers Park and one on Franklin and Grand in River North. That's one of the best burgers I've ever had.
Point is, that list is only half-way accurate. Thanks, Oleg. Thanks a lot for another useless HuffPo link.
The PANK helmet is so Huey doesn't hurt himself stepping off his soapbox.
I'm digging this up from over TWO PAGES AGO to defend our PANK.
Huey is right. Oleg, stop spamming the Food with HuffPo garbage. Five Guys is fantastic but it doesn't belong on a list of best burgers in Chicago. Best fast food burgers in America? Sure.
And the point here is GO TO J WELLINGTONS AND GET THE J WELLINGTON BURGER.

Look, the point was to start a discussion and laugh. Personally, I've only had a few of the burgers on the list, so I didn't quite feel qualified to pass judgement.
Also, a better burger than The Grafton is found only about two blocks south at Jury's.
I will agree that Billy Goat is most certainly meh and I am pretty sure I will never have a Portillo's burger as long as the Italian beef is on their menu.

Sadly, half of the local burgher faction has been wetting themselves over Five Guys coming to 53rd Street. IT'S A RENAISSANCE!
Then again, they've done it before.

God bless America.
Tonk's mention that Patty's is walking distance from where he is going to stay reminded me of a question that occured to me a long time ago. Why didn't they name the streets in the order in which the presidents served? It would have made it much easier for (some) visitors to get around. Not to mention helping locals in American history class. Instead we have Polk, Harrison Van Buren, Jackson, Adams (which one?) Monroe, Madison and Washington, in that order.

Adams (which one?)
I assume the elder, as Quincy is a block south.

They are in order, just start with Washington and go the other way.
Washington (1)
Madison (4)
Monroe (5)
Adams (6) - this is Quincy Adams. Jackson (7)
Van Buren (8)
Harrison (9)
Polk (11)
I don't know why Adams, Jefferson and Tyler aren't included, but the rest are in order.
Edit: I don't think this is actually true, meaning that Adams is actually named after the 2nd president, but it doesn't work with the rest of the order, so I'm changing it to Quincy Adams.

Thank you, but now I am going to wonder why they excluded Adams 1, Jefferson and Tyler.

Tonk's mention that Patty's is walking distance from where he is going to stay reminded me of a question that occured to me a long time ago. Why didn't they name the streets in the order in which the presidents served? It would have made it much easier for (some) visitors to get around. Not to mention helping locals in American history class. Instead we have Polk, Harrison Van Buren, Jackson, Adams (which one?) Monroe, Madison and Washington, in that order.
They are in order, just start with Washington and go the other way.
Washington (1)
Madison (4)
Monroe (5)
Adams (6) - this is Quincy Adams.
Jackson (7)
Van Buren (8)
Harrison (9)
Polk (11)

Tyler seems to be the biggest ommision, as at least there's a consistent, chronological run from Madison through Van Buren, and picks up, after Congress, with Polk, who followed Tyler, presidentially speaking. The street Quincy also is an itty-bitty "half-street" which rests between Adams and Jackson (though it's a minor street it does have its own El stop), further proof that the "Adams" in question is John II.

QuoteThe first survey of Chicago was made in 1830 by James Thompson, and embraced an area of about three-eighths of a square mile. Besides the garrison at Fort Dearborn, the population did not exceed 100. Three of the boundary streets of the village were named after the most prominent men of the day, the survey showing that Washington street was the south boundary, Jefferson street the west, Kinzie street the north, and Dearborn street the east. Dearborn street was named after the fort, which in turn was named after General Henry Dearborn, Secretary of War, Kinzie street took its name from John Kinzie, the early white settler, while the others were named after George Washington and Thomas Jefferson.
...
As the town grew the political fights of the villagers were reflected in the naming of new streets. In those days politics were far more passionate than now. When the first street south of Washington was laid out, federalists wanted to name it Adams, after the second president, while the opposition wanted to name it Madison, Madison carried the day. Later a similar fight occurred over naming the street south of Madison. The federalists were beaten in their attempt to name it after President Adams and the street was christened after President Monroe. When the next street was laid out, however, the federalists managed to win, and it was called Adams street. The anti-fedralists, however, were unable to indorse with gusto the election of John Quincy Adams, and accordingly they bestowed his name upon the narrow little street abutting the post office. Jackson, Van Buren, Harrison, Tyler, Polk and Taylor had streets named after them, but Filmore was ignored, and after Tyler left the Whig party his name was taken from the street, which was rechristened Congress street.

Well the early settlers were Native American. And Kinzie, as you can tell, is obviously just the sort of name Native Americans had. 57% of them come from the Kinzie bloodline.

It's mostly an alley now, and apparently disused rail right of way.
Here's a look at the remains of it in the heart of Hueyville. (http://www.flickr.com/photos/strannik45/5137772842/)
Part of CDOT's latest $15 billion (no, really) Central Area Action Plan appears to be bus rapid transit along this right of way (the Carroll Avenue Transitway) connecting Streeterville to a new West Loop subway running down Clinton.
Mr. Carroll (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Carroll_of_Carrollton) could be relevant again yet!

In L.A. Had a burger at a joint in the Los Feliz neighborhood last night called Umami Burger. I had something they called a truffle burger. They put a truffle glaze on the burger and some other delicious, truffle cheese. No, I'm not sure what truffle cheese is.
Good clean burger that they undercooked a little, which was fine by me.
The sweet potato fries came with a garlic aoili that was closer to mayo that usual aoili is, but they were awesome, too.
If in LA, I can recommend this joint.

In L.A. Had a burger at a joint in the Los Feliz neighborhood last night called Umami Burger. I had something they called a truffle burger. They put a truffle glaze on the burger and some other delicious, truffle cheese. No, I'm not sure what truffle cheese is.
Good clean burger that they undercooked a little, which was fine by me.
The sweet potato fries came with a garlic aoili that was closer to mayo that usual aoili is, but they were awesome, too.
If in LA, I can recommend this joint.

While going over old territory, it should be noted that the Burger from Kuma's can nearly mend a Cub's fan broken heart. More important, the patio is now open, so if you get there before 5:30 on a weekday, there is actually no line.

I have come to the conclusion that short ribs alone double-ground on the coarse disk of the crank meat grinder are not an optimal approach. Not bad, mind you, and I was afraid they were going to be horrifying, lacking as I do a medium disk, but not optimal.
Burger Boss on North Ave in Elmwood Park is a solid option, a little less expensive than Five Guys for the same quality.
But about 50 yards to the east is Johnnies Beef, which makes this place a one-and-done in my book.

You may be surprised to know* that horse meat salami is widely available here in the Netherlands. When we first moved here I bought and ate it a couple of times without realising what it was. It was, then, largely indistinguishable from beef salami - at least in my blind (ignorant) tasting. I fucking hate horses anyway.

I've been to Kuma's after a Cubs' game, with Hawk, Oleg and Bort: the patio was open and there was no wait at all. We all ate a Tonkful, and then went for frozen custard. No, I think you mean "who would be crazy enough to try going to Kuma's at five o'clock on a Friday evening and then complain about the wait?" Because you'd have to be a special kind of dimwit to do

Riding the bunnovation bandwagon that birthed the ramen burger and the doughnut burger, Chicago's Rockit Bar & Grill recently debuted a Mac Attack burger. The "bun" for this particular concoction is just patties of deep-fried mac and cheese. Rockit will only be selling these bad boys through Sunday, but if it's a hit — and given the state of the American diet, why wouldn't it be? — expect to see knockoff Mac Attacks popping up around the country soon.

Quote"Gosh what was it that really said Au Cheval to me?" he muses. Not surprising, the ubiquitous egg was the first thing on which Sodikoff focused, frying through roughly two cases of eggs until they achieved their goal: no color, tender whites and well seasoned. Even its moniker which translates to "on horseback," is slang for adding an egg.

I've still never been to Kuma's, and it's mainly because their wait is nearly as legendary as their burgers and I just haven't yet properly planned for it or decided to put up with the wait. I mean, 5:45? That's like the scientifically-tested optimal time for getting the most people to show up for dinner at the same time. What a Soriano! Did you also bring the kids so they could ogle all of the naked ladies for 4 hours?

Has anybody else been to Kuma's Too? I remember the burgers at the original location as being unbelievably good, and what we had this time... wasn't. Perhaps my memory's playing tricks on me, but the burger I had on Diversey was really good... and not more than that. Did I catch them on an off day, maybe?

A few weeks ago I ate at the Kuma's BACK IN THE SUBURBS and it was outstanding. I was actually a little disappointed when I first had Kuma's at the original locale on Belmont a couple years ago--perhaps the anticipation got the best of me or maybe it was just an off day for the cooks-- but in any event my experience at the one in Schaumburg offered redemption, strip malls be damned.

Good clean burger that they undercooked a little, which was fine by me.
The sweet potato fries came with a garlic aoili that was closer to mayo that usual aoili is, but they were awesome, too.
If in LA, I can recommend this joint.

Good clean burger that they undercooked a little, which was fine by me.
The sweet potato fries came with a garlic aoili that was closer to mayo that usual aoili is, but they were awesome, too.
If in LA, I can recommend this joint.
Went to the Umami Burger in Wicker Park last week. It was awesome, too.
It's a good spot. We are fans as well. They have a good pickle plate and house dips for fries.
Oh yeah...I kinda forgot about the pickled plate (the plate itself is not pickled). The beats were outstanding! As was everything on that plate. That was good shit. I will be visiting again.

There are a few really well-loved burger places in Toronto. Probably the hippest is the Burger's Priest, which offers a tasty, local-grown beef served on fresh buns. It's so well-loved that it's spawned several successful knock-offs, including Holy Chuck's. Still, for my dollar, the best burger place is Five Guys. Chain or no chain, I can't get enough of their burgers.

They're tasty but they ain't worth a $12 lunch, which is what I paid last time I ate there. Speaking for the area in which I work (Schaumton Heights, USA) you're better off ponying up the extra 5 bucks and having lunch at Kuma's around the corner.

Burger? No.
Taco Bell, Bacci and the burrito joint under the tracks? Yes. Probably McDonalds at 1 time as well, so maybe a burger.
Actually when I went with Fork, CT and Bad Kermit (unwittingly witnessing the birth of Hockeenight) some of the group brought in Quizno's to the park but I abstained.

Humorously enough, we actually do a ton of work in this space, but I imagine our current rebranding efforts with Schlotskys would be/was too much of a conflict of interest in the Quizno's RFP, Colorado connection aside.

I've been to Burger's Priest on multiple occasions. It's true that nothing may compare to the Pope, but that's also a burger I'd never order. My arteries got hard just looking at the picture. I also felt that BP was skimpy on the sides (such as bacon, which cost quite a bit extra to procure and was only one small slice).

Give me the intersection where you are staying, and I will give you directions to the closest Burger's Priest. They are springing up all throughout the city.
If, on the other hand, you want some good Mexican, there is a taco place that is amazing that I would heartily recommend (La Carnita).

There are a few really well-loved burger places in Toronto. Probably the hippest is the Burger's Priest, which offers a tasty, local-grown beef served on fresh buns. It's so well-loved that it's spawned several successful knock-offs, including Holy Chuck's. Still, for my dollar, the best burger place is Five Guys. Chain or no chain, I can't get enough of their burgers.
You guys are all missing the point: Burger's Priest is fucking awesome. Way better than Five Guys.
If you're ever in Toronto go there for sure and get the Pope, jarge style. That thing in between the burgers is a portabello mushroom covered in cheese and deep fried.

No cilantro'd.

Don't take my word for it. (http://www.yelp.ca/biz/la-carnita-toronto) Or theirs. (http://www.thestar.com/life/food_wine/restaurants/2012/08/09/la_carnita_review.html)
Not sure what your point is about cilantro. I can't eat it. Some of their tacos have cilantro but most do not.

Do you really expect me to believe that these people know more about Mexican food than a Welsh/Irish Australian?

Not sure - all my old cohorts have quit. Just find someone who's relatively cool to hang out with and skip the evening horseshit and go to Burger's Priest instead. Carry on my tradition of indifference.

Yes, I recommend you utilize it.
If you ever decide you want to die in Hawaii, there's a place conveniently located by the Maui airport in Kahalui (http://www.yelp.com/biz/tantes-island-cuisine-kahului) that features the "Quad Moco Challenge" - if you can eat 4 8 oz beef patties smothered in gravy, 8 eggs and 8 scoops of rice in 45 minutes, it's free. Otherwise it'll run you $35.
