It's not even close to a good burger let alone beat burger. You could stroll into Shake Shack and get a better burger lol.

I went with others from LA. It was unanimous where we all just took a bite and looked at one another. Then, the phones came out to talk shit to all our Chicago peeps who kept touting Au Cheval.

Seriously. We thought maybe it was some inside joke. Send the non natives to the "best" (worst) burger in the city.

I haven't had it in a LONG time. I wonder if something's changed. I'm gonna have to go again soon to find out for myself.

And it's not just a Chicago thing where we don't have good taste or something. Au Cheval routinely makes the list for one of the best burgers in the country. In fact Food Network ranks it THE best burger in the country.

For example:
https://www.today.com/food/best-burgers-us-t132106

https://www.foodnetwork.com/shows/to...-5-restaurants

Not saying you're wrong.... I was just shocked and now I really need to go try it again and see if something's changed.

Yeah please do. We had five in our party and four burgers were ordered. Even the salad the fifth person ordered was funky.

The most offputting thing about the burger was the patty. It did NOT look like photos and shit we've seen. Shit looked like a frozen puck and tasted like it as well. You know when the burger is just exceptionally circular and I mean perfectly circular? It was like that. It's why we were all confused as to how this, clearly processed frozen patty looking thing was this highly rated, lol.

Door dash sushi….good for me, poor wife died before the food arrived. You would think she’s prego except for birth control and a cock blocking dog

Thick filet, big shrimp/crap cake, asparagus.

I had a diabetic friend over, so I made low carb Pizza Casserole.

Usual Saturday chicken sheesh with salad and f/fries from our fave takeaway coming back from town.

Shake Shack

KK22 · 01-16-2022, 12:28 PM

Did sous vide ribs last night. 152 for 24 hrs. Then rub and sear in oven at 550 for 5 minutes. Made a corn, bacon, jalapeño, mozzarella bake that was awesome with it, and a little Asian slaw. Kids loved it!

Dpc2u · 01-16-2022, 05:13 PM

Homemade lasagna and baked cinnamon and brown sugar apples for a cold winters evening.😎

JJ 911SC · 01-16-2022, 05:41 PM

Maple Seasoned Drumstick with vegies

2one3E90 · 01-16-2022, 06:52 PM

Hearty meal

stein_325i · 01-16-2022, 07:11 PM

Chicken Piccata

Tried a new recipe, although the sauce didn't come out as thick as I wanted, hence why the presentation looks almost soup like

But it sure was delicious!

M5Rick · 01-17-2022, 12:11 PM

Polish Golabki,stuffed cabbage rolls with tomato sauce.

Chick Webb · 01-17-2022, 03:14 PM

Tri-tip on the grill, sauteed green beans & mushrooms, curried roasted garlic last night.

Did you dredge the chicken in flour before browning? That helps. If it makes you feel better, my Piccata sauce comes out thin too. I think you have to add corn starch or something to thicken it. I don’t mind it thin, as long as it tastes good.

Yep, I lightly flour them, the chicken turned out good. I think the reason the recipe I was following had a thicker sauce was because she used homemade chicken stock as her sauce was also darker in color. Either way, still very delicious.
