It’s summer, so I’ve been finally firing up the grill. But for times when I don’t feel like grilling, or the weather doesn’t cooperate (in Illinois, a frequent occurrence), I love to go out for a burger. Illinois has a lot of great restaurants serving up delicious, juicy burgers. Here are my top 15 burger joints:
