If you missed last year's Hamburger Hop, the Friday night kickoff to Chicago Gourmet, you want to act quickly as tickets to the 2011 event are on sale now. The tickets, which cost $89 (before tax), give you access to taste burgers made with Allen Brothers meat from 15 top chefs (TBA soon) as well as all the Blue Moon beer you can drink. Last year saw Ryan LaRoche (NoMI) take top honors from judges like Thomas Keller and Barbara Fairchild, while the burger from Kevin Hickey (Seasons) was the people's choice. [EaterWire]
