"Desert Hawk is a bar in Wicker Park with an open layout and a kitchen that rotates staff. The latest resident might be controversial for inclusion. Sure, burgers aren’t represented in this map, but what happens when you replace the bun with fried plantains like a Puerto Rican jibarito? The answer is the delightful Smash Jibarito, a wandering pop-up that has found a stable home at Desert Hawk. The smash burger has that signature crust from the griddle and when stuffed between the plantains, customers get a glorious and messy sandwich. There’s also a veggie version." - Ashok Selvam, Naomi Waxman, Eater Staff
