Starting right now and running throughout the week, Eater will be your headquarters for all things burger for this, our first-ever Eater Burger Week. We'll highlight burgers from around the city, have guest bloggers, run some stats, have all kinds of voting (yes, that means a Burger Bracket!) and even have profiles of established and new up-and-comers in the burger world. And don't worry, we'll continue to bring you all of the regular news of Chicago's restaurant scene.
And check out Burger Week on your lunch hour (or at dinner). Eater asked some of the city's favorite restaurants that currently do not have burgers on their menus to make a special Eater Burger Week creation, available all this week. We'll highlight each burger during the week (and there may be some added surprises), but below is a quick guide to what you can get if you pop by and say, "I want an Eater Burger."
