Green chilli or chille burger yum. Which location is the original?

It is on Laguna Pueblo somewhere, I have never been to the original.

The one in the gas station by Rt 66 casino is awesome, and they just opened their 1st standalone on some native american land that is in Albuquerque. Basically some land right by the tribal headquarters. That one has bomb burgers but is busy and still getting the kinks out.

I love a really quality chili cheese burger so I am intrigued with piqued interest in this "Laguna Burger" but also confused, what do they put into the chili to make it turn green? Is it like chicken meat with those Mexican green tomatoes or is it like pure jalapenos? Sounds spicy!

It is called Green Chile Vash, it is a vegetable, not as hot as a jalapeno...

Ok, thanks. The reason I ask is because the original is usually the best. Anyway next time I go to Arizona I'll go Albuquerque way and try one.

If you stay at the holiday inn Express on 12th Street the new one is basically in the same parking lot and has beers and liquor etc.

$$$$ The Burger Social new place by me, ate there twice, both times great. 9/10 same owners as this place http://theburgerlocal.com/ kind of pretentious, but look past that because of the great food.

$$$ 5 Guys, easily the best chain burger.

$$ Steak and Shake, just great drunk food.

$ Sliders you fucking snobs.

In memoriam, Jack Straw's Pizza in Wheaton, burgers and cheese steaks. Closed a few months ago.

Looking forward to a Shake Shack / Smash Burger one of these days.

5 Guys? Another WTF. Well done burgers disqualify you from having a great burger. WTF is wrong with you guys?

That would explain why I qualified that with "chain Burger". I gave my pick for best burger regardless of price. Read better, post less.

Please stop posting pictures you found in a google image search of "best burgers in NW suburban Chicago".

I'll just leave this here and not pad my post count.

Dumbshit, I posted burgers of places I have eaten. Nobody is buying your 5 Guys love affair. You have the taste of an 11 year old

Why not go to the original Kuma's? Haven't been to either of the expansion places, but I can't imagine they're as good as the flagship. Could be wrong though.

A good place if you're in the western burbs = Brauer House. It's basically a Kuma's knockoff: a bunch of kick ass burgers and metal. The difference being that BH has live shows (and feeds you free jello shots whenever the Hawks score in the playoffs). It's on North Ave. in...Lombard, I believe? Basically it's North Ave. right by the 355 overpass.

I honestly think Shake Shack is overrated. When I first moved here to NYC, everyone kept talking about it. It's expensive for no reason. I like the bun and that's about it. I'd take Five Guys and Whataburger over Shake Shack

I've had the original and the one next to the mall. Both were fucking delicious.

Looks like dog shit.

Brandts Cafe in Palatine. Jay Leno was on the Johny Carson show and said they had the best burger in America

Does look good in so much as it looks like it is cooked just right.

Wildfire burger in Schaumburg

What is the point with these foot tall burgers? No desire to even try to eat something like that.

Eddy Gaedell's in Elburn. The grilled cheese burger

Again. Ridiculous. Nothing appetizing about it.

Awe, you're all cranky, who saw that coming? Again, "chain burger" reading is a skill.

I'll stand by my pick.

"The Burger Social new place by me, ate there twice, both times great. 9/10 same owners as this place http://theburgerlocal.com/ kind of pretentious, but look past that because of the great food."

One singular pick, not a page full of shotgun shit thrown at the wall. What was your pick again, oh yeah, eleven posts on one page. Nice "pick" pant load.

Elburn :lmao:

Actually when i went to kumas in schaumburg the first time i didnt even know they had multi locations. The schaumburg location was so tasty that now i dont even want to try the original for fear it might not be as good...
