The Burger Bar, Chicago

The hamburger builders at Burger Bar adorn 14 signature bunned sandwiches in eclectic ingredients to form innovative takes on the American favorite. The M burger, a customer favorite, is topped with thousand island dressing and grilled onions, and the salmon burger is drenched in rémoulade tartar sauce and evokes fantasies of swimming up a stream with thousands of friends and colleagues. Crispy helpings of sweet-potato fries and fried okra accompany meals as whole-wheat and white buns hug the beef, turkey, and veggie protein disks.
