Vettel Gives Smyth 4 Stars, DMK Burger Bar’s ‘Chump’ Sandwich, More Intel

—John Shields and Karen Urie Shields continue to garner critical acclaim for their dual high-and-low West Loop hotspots Smyth and The Loyalist. Phil Vettel filed perhaps the most gushing reviews yet, doling out a rare four stars for the fine-dining Smyth upstairs and writing that he prefers the burger at the loungey The Loyalist downstairs to the vaunted Au Cheval. "Now the Shields...are back in Chicago with a triumphant restaurant that justifies every nice thing that's ever been said about them," the longtime Tribune critic writes.

—While not exactly taking direct aim at Trump, a new sandwich at DMK Burger Bar certainly seems to poke fun at the Donald. The "Chump" sandwich, which consists of fried bologna, mustard, Cheez Whiz, and onion rings—with part of the sales going to the Chicago Foundation for Women—mocks "the bologna being thrown around this election," according to a press release. It’s available now through Election Day (Nov. 8).
