Chicago's Best Burgers: Paradise Pup
1724 S River Rd
Try It: 1/3 lb. burger
Ted's Take:
What is it about River Road? It's a hotbed for great, non-chain fast food and Paradise Pup is number one in my book!
George and Tony are brothers who have run this place for 29 years. Tony runs the grill and George runs the front of the house. It's the only way it's ever been done and it's the only way it ever will be!
Now, let's talk about the burger!
It's so simple but SOOOO good! 1/3 pound burger seared to a perfect medium on the hottest damn grill I've ever been next too!
Top it with some grilled onions and the one and only Merkt's cheddar and you've got yourself a little bit of heaven... or, uh... Paradise!!
Add some fries and shake for good measure.
