I am absolutely craving a good burger for dinner tonight. Being in Chicago, there's no shortage of good beef. Gonna try and talk the wife into going to Portillos or Jameson's for some good ol' fashion red meat. Maybe I'll see if I can up grade to a nice 22 oz. paddle steak at Wildfire or Ditkas! ha ha.

Where do you go for a great burger/ steak by you? (where you from?)

Top Notch is #1

Then Portillos, Fat Tommy's, Nicky's, and Marco's Beef in order

From the Southside if you were wondering

if i'm at work, I go to the Blarney Stone for a "Blarney Burger". Man is that good.

Midtown East Manhattan.

3rd Ave between 44th and 45th

Angus Beef is the best.

What's up Bob. I'm from NW burbs. About 40 min out of the loop. I've never been to Top Notch. Where is it? Is it a pub or a restaurant?

Top Notch is a burger joint on 95th and Hamilton (a few blocks east of Western)

I don't go for fancy hamburgers at all. To me, the closer a hamburger is to the classic greasy spoon model, the better I like it. Know where I usually go for a good hamburger? A bowling alley.

2 places most people probably don't know about is Burger Time and Grizzly's. Burger Time is kind of a fast food place that actually TAKES ITS TIME preparing its burgers, they don't let it sit under a light for an hour. Grizzly's has so many good burgers it's hard to count. Try the Cheese Curd Burger if you ever go there. MMMMMMMM!! Yum......

To my delight the other day a little burger van has parked itself across from our rehearsal studio. It was so needed, I'd been up all night drinking the night before with no sleep and a good big, honkin, dripping with grease cheeseburger with onions and BBQ sauce sorted me right out!

The greasier the better, reminded me of going to the football in Glasgow when I was younger.

I go to the market and get about 1.6 to 1.8 pounds of good ground beef... about 90% lean. Go home, and while Mrs BlackStrat is making three patties stuffed with blue cheese, I get the grill ready! Sprinkled generously with Montreal Steak Seasoning and when they're done (hers well-done and mine pink inside) a slice or two of Swiss cheese on top before going in a bun and garnished with whatever we desire at the moment. I am a huge fan of sliced onion, sliced tomato, lettuce, and horseradish sauce! And finish that with some Bush's Baked Beans on the side and I'm good to go!

Any burger I cook on my BBQ is a good one. But for going out it has to be Islands.

in and out burger is my favorite...cheeseburger with grilled onions.
