Food / Drink OFFICIAL Cheeseburger porn thread & BEST BURGERS in Chicagoland

[Jeffs FRC]

Mook had big plans for this month and next month so maybe I can add it for January to be voted on!!

And none of them are panning out

There we go. The Grove in December!

I think Kumas gained attention because it piled so many different things on the burger. That is cool and all. But when you talk about the best burger, it should be based upon the basics. Things like the bun, patty, lettuce, tomato, ketchup, and mustard. Let the patty and cooking technique be what they are judged on.

I love a burger with a ton of stuff piled on it. But 90% of the time you are enjoying what was added to the basic burger. Not the burger itself. The same goes for the experience of the burger. When you go to Billy Goat Tavern, enjoy a burger, and think of its history and basis for the classic SNL skit. It adds to the burger. Just as all the stuff piled on it at other places. Billy Goat burger is great but it isn't anything too special itself.

this was one of my frustrations in mexico city, i'd be paying a premium for a burger and some were even real lookers. but the patty itself was disappointing af a lot of the time.

There we go. The Grove in December!

Alright, when googling I feel like the place in Spring Grove is not the right place or is it??

 

[Yaj Yak]

can tell ya that you've now put some expectations in my head for this spring grove burger and there is a 100% chance i'll be trying it

it's just a good burger 8 minutes from my house mr burger worldwide.

it likely won't make your top 100 but i like it and it's proximity is key.

my wife had the diablo burger and it had some thunder.

Hit up The Grove in Spring Grove today after we chopped our tree down at Richardson’s. I went with “the Grove” burger. Overall it’s a very solid burger.

Why does the top bun have so much bread and the bottom is basically non-existent?

Me and my lady went to DC Cobbs in Huntley last night because neither of us wanted to cook.
I got their Groundhogs Day Burger (burger, bacon, egg and hashbrowns). Holy shit was it awesome. Not the best burger I've ever had but dam was it up on the list.

 

[sickmint79]

geez i'll be back in like 12 days y'all making sure i have to drop by there

There's some serious weight on that bun!

almost drove past the place since they had signage up for 'tinsel tavern'

i had the royal burger with tots, their menu on their website is different than the one they actually have there. i haven't had tots since this time last year at another place i tried a burger (jexal's in mchenry). it was decent, think the tots and burger both needed more salt (if they got any) though. i'd try a different burger upon return for some more excitement, i wanted more standard ingredients on a first burger there to try. it was ok, i'd go back, but i'm not in a rush too and it's not like a place i would need to run to again before i leave. last visit to my p's i tried jexal's and dc cobb's on green street in mchenry, this is totally by memory and a sample size of 1 at each but i might have liked jexal's the most, although wouldn't say there is any burger i've had close to my p's where i crave or look forward to a return visit.

[sickmint79]

i've been a bit sicky my entire time here really, was more of a last minute plan and catch up with a buddy. think the day i leave (sunday) i'll be fully recovered, so unfortunately not the best visit home catching up with people (i stayed home at my parents house christmas day)

will have to say hi on a future visit

i recommend initiating a burger grid search and expanding the perimeter until all burgers have been located and targeted within a 30 minute range for some field tests
