A reply

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.

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!

Hi There,

We are looking for someone who is passionate about food and dining out and who has the inside track on great places to eat that don't break the bank. If you are interested please email me.

Thanks,

I just wanted to provide a comment that wasn't a) an advertisement, or b) in Chinese. Fantastic blog! Chanced upon it while looking for the name of that one burger place I'd always been meaning to go to. Thanks for the insight and photos and god bless your arteries!

Hey you guys. Have you tried the Lamb Burger at Treat Restaurant in Humboldt Park. It is outstanding.

Bill Baird said...

Gents, you really need to make it out to the far west burbs to Yorkville. There's a place called the Bristol Tap that's been doing burgers right for 50 years. I think they are half pound and the best I've ever had.
