"We’re currently researching a best new burgers guide, which is why we recently ordered from Reve Burger, a new West Loop carryout and delivery spot from the chef of fine dining restaurant Ever. But (plot twist) Reve’s burger isn’t what we’re going to talk about. Their fries and vanilla milkshake are what earned them a spot on this list. The crispy fries were covered in a sweet and salty seasoning powder that reminded us a little of BBQ potato chips, and the creamy vanilla milkshake was a delicious dipping sauce for said fries. Yes, you read that correctly. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation
"Rêve Burger, an early pandemic side project from chef Curtis Duffy of the two-Michelin-star restaurant Ever, will permanently close on July 2. Initially launched in December 2020 by Duffy and business partner Michael Muser as a stop-gap measure during a ban on indoor dining, Rêve Burger sold griddled double cheeseburgers and fries. The operation eventually moved into a vacant building across the street from Ever and continued to draw fans. The building that houses Rêve will be razed for new construction." - Naomi Waxman
"Curtis Duffy and the crew at fine dining hotspot Ever pivoted during the pandemic and started slinging burgers out of their kitchen. In stark contrast to the refined plates the chef is known for, Reve Burger delivers classic comfort fare. The signature item features two quarter-pound Angus beef patties, pickles, two slices of American cheese, and special sauce on a brioche bun from Highland Baking Co. The concept was such a hit that it has since blossomed into a full-fledged restaurant. Online orders can be placed here." - Jeffy Mai

"Chef Curtis Duffy continues to reach for Michelin stars at Ever, but after the indoor dining ban, the sleek Fulton Market restaurant needed an additional revenue stream. Duffy’s burger isn’t genre defying, but the talented chef has put out his version of a griddled double patty, the type of sandwich that customers could enjoy at a diner. Reve Burger has recently expanded the menu to include chicken sandwiches. Order via DoorDash and Caviar." - Ashok Selvam, Naomi Waxman
