Comfort Food to the Max 💯 . Au Cheval is a well-loved and super popular destination even years after their opening . Being named as having the best burger in the nation (compared to Edzo’s at #37) meant it was definitely on my list of eats . The burger is well worth the hype, but more for the rich condiments, fantastic egg, and out of this world bacon . All the other dishes are great including the potato hash with duck gravy and fries with mornay sauce and fried egg . It’s also carb overload and I’d expect to nap for a few hours eating here . I’d skip the fried house-made bologna samdwich next time though it’s very tasty . The host sent a surprise order of general jane’s honey fried chicken given our long wait for an outside table and that just makes me love this place more . 📷 Single Cheeseburger (with two patties) $13.95 add egg $2.95 add bacon $4.95 / fried house-made bologna sandwich $11.95 / Crispy Fries with mornay sauce, garlic aioli, & fried egg $9.95 / Crispy Potato Hash with duck heart gravy $15.95 / General Jane’s honey-fried chicken $18.95 / Bloody Mary $12.00 ~ (Fernand Petiot, 1933) nuit blanche vodka, tomato, horseradish, pepper . 📍Au Cheval (Chicago, IL) . #instafood #foodstagram #yelpchicago #aucheval #michelinbibgourmand #chicagoeats #eaterchicago #topcitybites #sffoodie #foodie #nomnom #feedfeed #eeeeeats #foodpics #eeeeeats #foodgasm #dailyfoodfeed #foodphotography (at Au Cheval) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTv2z9ArNtM/?utm_medium=tumblr
