Don’t be fooled by Chefburger’s casual atmosphere and walk-up ordering system. An inspiring array of gourmet burgers awaits, offering combinations like the heart-stopping Widowmaker (cheddar, bacon, fried egg, black bean chili). Or try a hot dog with toppings inspired by nationwide frankfurter capitals like New York, Chicago, and, of course, Kansas City [2]: barbecue sauce, onion, pickle, bacon, and blue cheese.

Complete the experience with a side of parsley and garlic-topped waffle fries. And if you’re of legal age, don’t leave without a spiked shake, a union of ice cream and alcohol that just might prove to be life-changing.
