By any measure, Chicago is a great food city. I’ve been there two times now, and have barely scratched the surface of what’s available. On this last trip, I made a point of rounding out my dance card of Chicago favourites. First stop shortly after touching down: the Billy Goat Tavern for a “cheezborger”
Drawing its fame jointly as the backdrop to a famous SNL skit as well as the source of the curse that has kept the Cubs out of the World Series, it’s a great humble bar tucked on the lower level of Michigan Avenue. The cheeseburger (I ordered a triple) was a perfect old fashioned delight and I enjoyed sitting at the bar and talking baseball with the bartender.
