Super GemBudget GemChicago Exclusive Gem$More than 50 years later it's still a Dempster Street fixture, with the cheddar burger picking up its own following and past features in Gourmet Magazine and Martha Stewart Living. It's part of a stretch of competing Greek-style grills on Dempster along with Herm's, Hub's, and Grecian Kitchen. It's also done a stint on the Vienna Beef official site's own roster of standout stands, which says something in a city this particular about its hot dogs.
Catering trays are available for anyone trying to bring the cheddar burger to a bigger crowd. No coupon or happy-hour angle to chase -- the draw here is 50-plus years of doing the same charred dog and burger well, backed by a 4.6 Google average and a free lot out front so you're not circling Dempster for parking.
