Review of Five Burger Chains in Chicago

Posted by Robyn Lee, January 19, 2009 at 10:00 AM

Burgers from Fatburger and Five Guys.

Kevin Pang of the Chicago Tribune eats at five burger chains in the Chicago area in five hours (accompanied by a bottle of antacid): Sonic Drive-In, Fatburger, Meat Heads, Five Guys, and The Counter. Thankfully, all five pass the "decent-if-not-better" test. Read his review for more details than anyone needs, including the heights, diameters, and circumferences of the burgers he ate.

Nice review, I like how he gave burger dimensions on all of them.

I'm glad he got a good burger from Sonic. My experience with them has been consistently grease-logged. Honestly, I don't even eat there anymore unless I just want a quick 'milk'shake (and I live in AR, where there is a Sonic on every freakin' corner).
