Butcher and The Burger
About us
Butcher & the Burger is like nothing you’ve seen before… at least not under one roof. While a neighborhood burger counter at heart, It’s also a dash of old fashion butcher shop with a pinch of culinary artistry mixed in.
With our vintage meat-locker stocked with only the highest quality beef, seafood, fowl and game in town, B&B steps away from the typical burger guys. We offer specialties like grass-fed beef; fresh salmon and shrimp. Our house favorites like prime angus burger and cube steaks and home-made vegan burgers are just a hint of what you'll find in our shop.
While burgers are mostly what we're serving in-house, you can pick a protein from the butcher case and take home patties, meatballs or loafs. Grab some fresh ground patties for a cook-out, some meatballs and marinara to add to your pasta at home or a house-made meatloaf all ready to pop in the oven for a quick and hearty meal.
But back to the burgers, because we love our burgers. Once you select your protein, you can have it simply prepared with salt and pepper, or you can choose from our house-blended, all natural seasoning mixes and watch as our butcher blends it, patties it and tosses it onto our char broiler, proudly made right here in Chicago by Emberglo; the healthier way to cook a burger.
Add your toppings from a long list including lettuce, tomato, raw onion, griddled onion, mayo, wasabi mayo, pickle chips, ketchup, yellow mustard, Dijon mustard, BBQ sauce, American cheese, cheddar, mozzarella, Swiss, blue, or chevre (at no added charge), or add any of our fine extras such as Benton's Tennessee mountain smoked bacon, fried egg, avocado, black truffle aioli or foie gras. Choose your bun from wheat, pretzel, brioche, or croissant-especially for breakfast!
And whoever thinks burgers aren't a breakfast food is about to learn a thing or two. Butcher & the Burger will open bright and early, offering the best coffee program in the neighborhood, serving Cafe du Monde beignets and a selection of breakfast burgers that will start your day off right. Try a natural turkey patty with a farm fresh egg sitting proud on a butter croissant, a side of Benton's bacon and fresh cup of Cafe du Monde coffee-a rich blend of dark roast coffee and chicory that's been a tradition in New Orleans for over 200 years.
And what kind of burger joint would be complete without a selection of home made frozen custard? We'll be making our own specialty flavors daily and serving them up in the shop, or packing up a pint or two for you to take home. Sure we'll have the classics, but since we really are about the culinary arts, don't be surprised to find Chef Al putting out very limited edition flavors like vanilla-curry, smoked bacon brittle, or sweet and salty espresso bean, follow us on twitter, cause when these guy come out of the freezer, they'll be gone just about as fast as we can let you know they're in.
