Honored in '79 at Chicago's best chili and I have been to slack to try to improve it ever since. But then, why should I? Topped with cheddar cheese and onion.

If you wan't that extra stuff on top you'll have to ask for it. As far as the oyster crackers are concerned, you'll get some whether you like it or not.

A classic French recipe but I switched to Spanish onions because they're not as bitter, and Swiss cheese on top because it's more neutral. And it taste better.

Two thousand years of civilization and it's all come down to this. Fried pickles. But they are so good can we all agree to just get over it?

Sure, you can find a decent onion ring in Chicago. But are they stacked on a stick!?

If I was marooned on a desert island with just one burger, this is the one I would pick cause it would have cheese, lettuce, tomato & mayo & onion & pickle on it. Alone at last.

Poblano? No problem. Zesty burger featuring fire-roasted poblano chilis, cheddar, chipotle mayo, lettuce, pickle & red onion. Corona on the side? Maybe.

Available elsewhere but their bacon isn't home smoked and their cheddar is that crappy two-day old stuff.

Easy to remember cause it has the same elements as bacon cheddar burger plus fried onions & BBQ sauce. But here's where things get a little peculiar. It also has tomato & lettuce.

We think the name speaks for itself but if you must know. Peppercorn burger, spicy ketchup, pepper jack, smoked bacon, lettuce & tomato.

Or is it Swissroom Smashburger? I am not totally sure, but it is made with grilled mushrooms & Swiss cheese. Or is it?

Do you ever get a craving for one of these? Maybe it's the rye bread, or it's the sauteed onions or American cheese. Or maybe it's just patty.
