Au Cheval at 800 west Randolph ,Chicago has received notoriety from many publications as the best burger in the United States. Going there to try this burger with some apprehension, will it meet the hype? I can say it is the best cheeseburger I have ever had! If your in Chicago make Au Cheval a must experience. The waits are ridiculous, however they will take your cell number and you will be notified 10 minutes before seating. Bon Apetit.

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

Sorry didn't take any but their website has plenty. Rumor has it they incorporate duck fat in the burger. Four hour waits are not uncommon. It is in a high traffic restaurant district.

Mail order some weed before you go. That'll increase the odds of it being the best burger ever.

Maybe I'm denser than usual today, but I'm missing the connection.
It has been a long time since I read that book though, I think I read it sometime around 1965 give or take a year. (Time flies when you're having fun)

I was in Chicago last month, and had lunch at Small Chival. It's their lunch time/fast food version if I understand it correctly. It's not AS good from what I hear, but still a damn tasty burger.

My son went there last summer while visiting his cousin. Don't know about the entire nation, but at the time, it was supposed to be the best in Chicago. He said it was good, but he had better. He said it was ridiculously messy to eat.

I personally prefer the fried baloney sandwich there. The burger is good, even really good, but I can get a really good burger at alot of places in this city.

Concur besides I feel what I can whip up at home is perfectly tailored to my tastes. We like ground buffalo or angus beef as our base. Don't need any exotic fhoo-fhoo food at outrageous prices.
