Smash Jibarito - Review - Wicker Park - Chicago - The Infatuation

"If you've ever wondered what the lovechild of a burger and jibarito would taste like, you don’t have to let your dreams stay dreams—head to Smash Jibarito. This resident pop-up inside of Wicker Park's Desert Hawk specializes in pressed patties sandwiched between fried plantains. Each burger gets a sweetness from the plantain pucks—our favorite is the Estilo Animal, with animal sauce, sweet pickles, and american cheese for a little saltiness. Pair it with a ranch water high ball while hanging out in Desert Hawk’s dark wooden space or front patio." - John Ringor
