"There are plans to open a Small Cheval restaurant at 2156 W. Montrose, which would also be affected by the century-old liquor ban in Lincoln Square and Ravenswood. The ban creates an uneven playing field as liquor sales are permitted across the street." - Ashok Selvam
"Location: Small Cheval, Upper Bleachers HBP is not something you want to deal with if you’re at bat (that's hit by pitch, for all you newbies). But we've given the acronym a different meaning: Happy Burger People (trademark pending). Go get a Small Cheval double cheeseburger with tangy dijonnaise and crisp pickles and you’ll be HBP, too.

"Small Cheval features a simple menu of griddle burgers, fries, and shakes. It’s a spin-off of Au Cheval, the West Loop restaurant with long lines of folks waiting for its burger. The difference in Cheval’s is small, but supposedly it’s a difference in how the patties are cooked and griddled. The two-story restaurant is right in front of Wrigley so the convenience can’t be beaten. There’s also a $23 wagyu truffle burger." - Ashok Selvam, Naomi Waxman
"In the West Loop, Au Cheval serves as the original that inspired the Small Cheval spinoff; its version of the burger is slightly different and the restaurant is known for the long lines that accumulate along Randolph Street, which the Wrigleyville outpost allows patrons to avoid." - Ashok Selvam
