Best burger in the city is Kuma's Corner, hands down.

Plus they have whiskey...on tap.

Also, Rockit Bar & Grill has a special on Tuesday that consists of a burger with the buns replaced by grilled cheese sandwiches.

Epic Burger is also quite good, though not epic.

Ooh, uh, yeah. I'm going to have to go ahead and sort of disagree with you there. Yeah. Uh, Rosebud Prime, or Small Bar are just as good, if not better.

Though no burger in Chicago is better than the burger I had In New Orleans at Port of Call, those burgers were the best anywhere!

I actually don't really like any of the Rosebud restaurants except Carmine's.

Its not a local thing, but Ted's Montana Grill makes a damn fine burger as well, and they have bison which is a huge plus.

There are far, far better burger houses than Ted's. If you want to pay $10 for a $4 hamburger, by all means go to Ted's, but I'll pass on that all day.

Likewise bison is far too lean to make for a good burger; the only way to have a really good bison burger (unless you like chawing on dry, brittle meat patties) is to mix it with fat, typically steer fat, so the whole 'bison experience' completely underwhelms me.

Edit: The same comment applies to ultra-lean beef (97%lean); it takes a culinary genius to turn a 97% lean product into a good hamburger. Typically through the addition of all sorts of external fat garnishes like mayo (or "special sauce" including mayo), cheese, bacon, butter, or various oils.
