Butcher & The Burger
Our verdict
On West Armitage in Lincoln Park, Butcher & The Burger occupies a specific position in Chicago's burger hierarchy: a craft-focused counter where the patty itself is the argument. The format is deceptively simple, the sourcing choices deliberate, and the result is one of the neighborhood's more considered takes on a format that most of the city treats as an afterthought.
