Chicago Burger Bible continues to dominate the Chicago burger-review scene, recently clocking our 90th review! Congrats to Logan Square's Owen & Engine for becoming the eighth burger to earn the prestigious "Tier 1 - Elite" ranking (full review below)....

The truth is, real Kobe beef is a delicacy, but the "Kobe" label is applied too liberally based on an ambiguous definition. ChicagoBurgerBible.com is...

We finally made it out to Top Notch Beefburgers in Beverly this week, and are glad we did. This place serves the best no-frills, classic burger in the city, easily besting our previous favorite old-school dive, Muskie's in Lakeview. Nothing against Muskie's, but its excellent char-burger can't quite compete with...

After 70 burger reviews, it might seem surprising that the Chicago Burger Bible's hit list continues to grow. But we feel like we're just getting started, since there is a seemingly endless supply of Chicago burgers to be had. Thanks to recommendations from our loyal disciples, Lockdown Bar and Grill...

We are two Chicago burger fanatics on a quest to seek and eat the best burgers this city has to offer. We began recording the results of our burger "meatings" over a year ago and hope ChicagoBurgerBible.com will lead Chicagoans to the burger promised land.
