Though praise and accolades may not be new to the folks at Au Cheval, this one definitely has a certain ring to it. In their ranking of 101 burgers across the country, the food-lovers and restaurant-experts at The Daily Meal have named<\/a> the burger at this West Loop favorite the best in the nation.<\/a> And we couldn’t agree more.<\/p>\n

After asking a panel of writers, bloggers, food journalists, and culinary experts across the US their\u00a0opinion on over 200 different burgers, this upscale Chicago diner’s\u00a0simple, double patty burger topped with a hefty serving of bacon and a fried egg took the top spot, no questions asked.<\/p>\n

Of course, Au Cheval wasn’t the only Chicago joint to make the list. Both the Kuma Burger of Kuma’s Corner<\/a> (#16) and the Griddled Burger from Edzo’s<\/a> (#34) made appearances on The Daily Meal’s roundup.<\/p>\n
