The 2024 Hamburger Hop Winners From Chicago Gourmet | Eater Chicago
"A farm-to-table spot located off the Chicago River in Avondale whose chef, Devon Quinn, won the Judges Award at Chicago Gourmet’s Hamburger Hop. The winning burger was a carefully layered composition developed with chef de cuisine Brian Shim: they blended Dubliner, Reserve cheddar and MontAmore into a house-style American cheese, and topped the patty with a dill pickle–corn slaw (built from Claussen pickles, grilled corn and onions bound with black garlic aioli), flatwater arugula and roasted tomatoes, served on a potato bun. The team emphasized clarity of flavor — lots of components, but each one coming through — a combination that impressed the eight-member judging panel." - Lisa Shames
