Where To Get A Burger & A Beer By Yourself - Chicago - The Infatuation

"If you live in Chicago (and probably even if you don’t), you’ve heard of Au Cheval in the West Loop. And despite this popular spot being around for more than a decade, two things remain the same: They make a good f*cking burger, and there’s always a ridiculously long wait for a table. But if you show up alone, snagging a bar seat is the best way to avoid the two-hour purgatory in the front vestibule. And since most of everyone behind the bar is too busy to play 20 questions with you, you can eat and drink in peace." - john ringor, veda kilaru
