Mordecai Chicago

At Mordecai Chicago (3632 N. Clark St), their burger’s double patty is sourced from Central Illinois’ Slagle Family Farm. Blanketing the beef is artisan American cheese directly from Cooper Cheese, providing a flavor that balances with the added shredded lettuce, diced onion, and house aioli.  Mordecai also offers the opportunity to add egg and bacon. Served with a side of crispy fries for only $20.

When asked about the inspiration of the Mordecai Burger, or as nicknamed by Mordecai’s Executive Chef Michael McKinnell, the “fancy Big Mac,” McKinnell shares, “Growing up, my father would always take me out to eat after my little league games. The only fast food restaurant at the time close to where I lived was McDonald’s so we would always have Big Macs. Big Macs are synonymous with playing baseball for me.”
