Yesterday, I waited an hour to check out the Trill Burgers popup at Seoul Taco in Wicker Park. The ‘OG Trill Burger Combo’ is on the left, while the Chicago-exclusive ‘Joe Freshgoods Burger Combo’ is on the right. The OG was definitely the better of the two. The Trill Sauce added a nice touch, but not enough to best the burgers from Mott St (my personal favorite), Au Cheval, The Loyalist, or Warlord. The fries were solid and had a nice crunch to them.
I’d place the OG Trill Burger in the same tier as Small Cheval: solid, satisfying, but not destination-worthy. I don’t regret the hour-long wait, though I probably wouldn’t line up again. I appreciate Joe Freshgoods for bringing Trill Burgers to Chicago. For the record, I’m not from Chicago, but I visit often.
