Burger Bites

Burgers are a year round essential, but cravings skyrocket during the summer months, when wafting aromas of backyard grills entice the taste buds and whet the appetite. The only thing that can make burgers taste better is a bargain, and The dec, deca RESTAURANT, and Rockit Burger Bar feature intoxicating new burger deals this season.

Burgers make for a mighty fine meal 12 stories up at deca RESTAURANT + BAR and THE dec inside the Ritz-Carlton Chicago. Nothing ameliorates a day of shopping quite like a burger lunch, and the sky high dining spots satiate that craving with their new burger lunch promo, wherein guests select a burger and pair it with a drink of their choice for pocket change compared to what one might spend strolling down Michigan Avenue. Burger options include a turkey burger with poblano peppers and avocado aïoli on a whole wheat roll, a char-grilled Wagyu burger with Wisconsin cheddar, bacon, and horseradish cream, and “the standard” burger with aged cheddar on a brioche bun. Guests augment their burger with a beer, a glass of wine, or a cocktail. The burger lunch is available now through September 30.

Considering the unseasonably temperate weather we’ve had this summer, Rockit Burger Bar is warming things up with its new F° Summer menu. Available now through September 2, the menu offers warming reprieve anytime the temperature dips below 65 degrees. When that happens, the burger bastion slings special mugs of spiked cider flecked with cinnamon, nutmeg, pumpkin pie spice, and whiskey or rum. It’s the perfect accompaniment to The Hottie burger, a black Angus patty studded with breaded stuffed jalapeños, habanero Jack cheese, and ghost pepper aïoli. If that doesn’t heat you up, you may want to check your pulse.
