emily's favorite burger of all time

i still have so, so much to get to from our midwest adventures, and i'm hoping to sneak it in here and there as we continue to rock and roll (by which i really mean "bump and slide" slash "trip and fall") our way through a new school year.

of the more important and blog worthy aspects of our trip is this: the ultimate burger.

the world's best burger.

emily's favorite burger of all time.

if you have eaten out with me in some capacity, then you know the burger/fries/milkshake trifecta is pretty much my culinary ride or die. it is *the* perfect meal. combining all three critical food groups--sugar, salt, and fat--in only the best, most delicious, and most satisfying of ways.

so! i've tried a lot of burgers in my day (and A LOT of fries). it is always the first thing i yelp for when we travel.

but this one, well, this one is going to be hard to beat.

behold: small cheval.

little baby bro to au cheval, but serving only (you guessed it) burgers, fries, and milkshakes.

major shout out to my sister-in-law anna for introducing us.

i kid you not, THE best burger and THE best fries (narrowly beating out the garlic aioli fries from goldfinch tavern in seattle) i've ever had. the milkshake was also amazing, though i can't give it my top prize (which honor is still held by the company burger in new orleans and their lemon icebox pie milkshake).

so if you are an omnivore and ever find yourself in chicago: seek it out and eat it up. no regrets.

bonus track: and then we really stuffed ourselves with jeni's ice cream for dessert.
