To celebrate the Fourth of July, some people set off fireworks, while others have picnics. But Daniel Zemans from Serious Eats gathered a group friends for Burger Day 3000 — an epic, ridiculous, and slightly crazed burger tour of Chicago. Clad in burger-themed t-shirts and sauced up on Moscow Mules, each member of the crew ate a half burger at Edzo’s, Burger Bar, Marc Burger, BIG & little’s, DMK Burger Bar, and The Wiener’s Circle. Deeming that not completely “sufficient to fully honor America,” they also consumed a “minimum of 20 fries per stop and half a shake at each of the four places that offer them.” If this doesn’t become a Chicago tradition next year, we will be very surprised.
