Au Cheval | Chicago’s Ultimate Burger Spot 🍔🔥
📝 Final Verdict First: $20-50 per person, great value for money! Their burgers, bacon, and foie gras scrambled eggs are truly unique—worth a special trip! 🚀 No reservations accepted, so just walk in. Opens at 10 AM, and even on weekdays, it’s packed by 10:15 AM with brunch lovers. But around 11 AM, the crowd thins out a bit. ⏳ 1️⃣ Cheeseburger + Egg & Bacon 🧀🍳🥓 (Egg & Bacon are optional add-ons!) The cheeseburger comes in single, double, or triple—but heads up, the single already has two patties, and the double adds one more! 🐄🔥 • Patties: Cooked to a perfect medium, not a smash burger, but still crispy-edged and juicy. • Bun: Classic brioche—buttery, soft, and slightly sweet, with a touch of mustard-shallot mayo for a tangy kick. • Egg: French-style soft scramble—silky, no crust, topped with a sprinkle of chives for freshness. 🌿 • Bacon: Two small slices of caramelized bacon—mild smokiness, not too salty, almost like Chinese char siu (BBQ pork). The fat melts in your mouth like butter. 🤤 2️⃣ Foie & Scramble Egg 🦢🍞 This dish is pure indulgence—creamy scrambled eggs paired with pan-seared foie gras chunks in a rich onion sauce, served on buttery toasted brioche. The balance of umami, fat, and carbs is absolutely heavenly. A must-try for decadent brunch lovers! 💥 Bonus Tips 💡 • Pro Move: Try dipping the brioche toast in the foie gras sauce—next-level deliciousness. • Drink Pairing: Their bloody mary or a local craft beer complements the rich flavors perfectly. 🍻 • Seating: If you’re solo or in a pair, grab a counter seat for a front-row view of the kitchen action! 👨🍳 #AmericanBurger #RestaurantRecommendation #BeefBurger #ChicagoEats #ChicagoBurgers #USFoodie #BrunchSpot #FoodHeaven #MustTry
