Whether it is grilled up in the backyard at a family barbeque or consumed at the local greasy spoon, burgers have made a lasting impression on the American conscious.

Illinois is by no means a stranger to the burger. No matter what kind of burger you like, and no matter what part of Illinois you are in, you can always find a good burger. To celebrate burgers, let’s look at a few different kinds of this famous sandwich and where you could go for a good one in Illinois:

The classic cheeseburger

You cannot get simpler or more classic than the ever-popular cheeseburger. Meat, cheese, lettuce, onion, pickles and tomato is all you need. It is both simple and delicious.

For this classic burger, try Burger Barge in East Peoria.

The egg-topped burger

The egg-topped burger is a new take on an old tradition. In the past couple of years, this new trend has taken off. How do you make a burger better? Put a fried egg on top, of course.

One great place to get this special type of burger is at Butcher and the Burger in Chicago.

Bacon burger

Bacon makes everything better, right? Well of course it does. There is nothing like biting into a delicious burger topped with crispy bacon.

Try Vie in Western Springs for this delectable treat.

Mushroom-Swiss burger

Mushroom-Swiss burgers are the perfect savory burger. Topped with rich Swiss cheese and sautéed mushrooms, this is a favorite of many.

You might want to try Crosstown Pub in Naperville for this one.
