"Not A Damn Chance Burger (“NADC'' for the initiated and presumably cool) is located in the back of a cozy West Loop bar called The Drop In. And while wagyu isn’t something you’d expect to find on the menu at a local dive, that’s exactly what NADC’s patties are made of. The menu is short: one burger, a grilled cheese that’s essentially just burger toppings and not worth it, and fries. The obvious star is the simple yet tasty (albeit slightly oversalted) smashburger. It has a nice balance of juiciness and char, and doesn’t go overboard with its toppings: American cheese, pickles, jalapeños, and some tangy secret sauce. It does come with a $16 price tag though, which feels a little high if all you’re looking for is something to snack on—plus, you can get a similarly delicious Red Hot Ranch burger for $7." - John Ringor
"Dustin Drankiewicz — the man who helped launch notable bars such as Moneygun, Pink Squirrel, and Deadbolt — has a new project set to open inside the former Paramount Room. The casual spot will emphasize Midwestern comfort food from chef Lamar Moore so expect burgers, smoked prime rib, cheese curds, fish fries, and other daily specials. The beverage side of the equation promises to offer about five signature cocktails, plenty of beer, and even cold-brew concoctions for those in need of a caffeine jolt. In addition, a basement bar called Chit Chat Lounge is also in the works." - Jeffy Mai
