55th St.): This isn’t a famous burger people wait hours for. For that, my picks are Holt’s in Park Ridge and Iron Horse in Norwood Park.

Plus, there are pictures on the wall from the movie “The Sandlot,” which is another Jahns family favorite. Great burgers made on the spot and with fresh-cut fries. But The Sandlot in Park Ridge has become a favorite for my entire family. I’ve enjoyed a couple of burgers from Kuma’s Corner, too. I can go on about Nick’s Drive-In or Franksville (both on Harlem Avenue in Chicago). Touhy Ave., Park Ridge): My wife always says you shouldn’t have to travel too far for a good burger. The key is they put it on French bread instead of a regular hamburger bun, so it’s sturdy enough to handle the goo bursting out of the fried egg with every bite. I skip the cheese, but it’s there if you want it. The Sunshine Burger at The Palace is perfect for me - burger, bacon, fried egg. There are fancier burgers out there, including right down the street at Au Cheval. Madison Ave.): I’ve probably spent years of my life at The Palace, and it’s probably taken years off my life.

Homestyle with bacon and fries with extra garlic aioli - which really is key to completing the meal. Maybe that’s all nonsense, but we still get carryout from there every few months because we can’t find a better burger. I asked the owner about that one afternoon and he told me it’s not unusual because the grill had been “broken in” and the burgers should be more flavorful. I loved it at first, but I swear six months into its existence, it got even better. Small Cheval, Part 2: I’ve never waited for Au Cheval, so when this spot opened up walking distance from my old place, I had to see if it was worth the hype. Also, shoutout to Claim Company in the northern suburbs, which makes a mean, perfectly medium-rare burger (topped with Merkt’s cheddar, the superior burger cheese). It’s the only double-patty burger I like, and it’s certainly worth the steep price. multiple locations): I’ve never been to Au Cheval, but I don’t even need to with the excellent Small Cheval approximately 100 yards from my front door.
