It finally happened: The Chicago Burger Project has been officially called out by TOC writer David Tamarkin for "childishly ripping apart assessing" their list while having the audacity to take our time at it.
Apologies are due for insulting the critical autonomy of the second-most prestigious magazine in my dentist's waiting room. As we've made clear, we're not professional food writers, just self-funded burger enthusiasts who conceived of a way to kill some time while grabbing a bite to eat. Sure, we've taken a couple of jabs at your choices, TOC, but some of your choices have been laughable. Would you really take your mother out for a burger at Riverview Tavern, home of both ends of the tomato? Does anyone in your office still maintain that there's no better turkey burger than the pucks served at S.R.O.? (Psst: there is, it's at May Street Market.)
We took our time, took some pictures, and elaborated beyond "perfectly delicious" in our reviews. Childish? Maybe. More responsible than recommending Jury's for the 10,000th time? I think so.

haha! this is priceless...audacity? wow! you guys have some nerve! jerks...thats what you guys are. why has it taken you so long? maybe the man is just jealous at the cool blog name? cbp does have a nice ring to it...peace.
Just wanted to say that all of us at foodcrypt.com are big fans of the Chicago Burger Project. I'm inclined to slander both TOC and the ignorant poster above me, however, I think its probably better to give you all the much deserved props you deserve.
Hopefully there will be more after you're done reviewing all 50!
