9 Great Chicago Burgers
The Midwest's biggest city offers something for everyone, including burgers for the budget traveler, the picky eater and the hungry adventurer.
Hamburger Mary's
In Andersonville on the North Side, Hamburger Mary's mixes classic diner eats with a dash of burlesque cabaret. Mary, a plastic, winking, buxom blonde, greets guests at the door and graces the menu. Diners choose from among more than 20 burgers ($9 to $14), including the Daddy Mac, loaded with homemade mac 'n' cheese, and the Gouda Morning, brimming with Gouda, bacon, spinach and eggs. No matter the toppings, at the heart of each sandwich you'll find a half-pound of Angus beef. (773) 784-6969; hamburgermarys.com
