    Go get a burger at Kumas Corner.  You won’t be disappointed.
    second that...I'm planning a visit there as well

    The mac and cheese is good but don't pass up a burger for it...
    Kuma's rules and is a special place with an amazing burger that you cant go wrong with but the best burger is at Au Cheval

     

    Yes to Au Cheval.  The fried bologna sandwich is also awesome.  I want either the chicken or a burger next time.
    never been there....I assume Au Cheval and Small Cheval serve the same burgers?

    Where can you get good thin downtown or near Wrigleyville? Had Rosati’s and PAL Joey’s back in the day in the burbs, but haven’t found good thin in the city
    Try Pat's in Lincoln Park or Michael's near Uptown.  No clue about downtown.

    Pat's in LP is awesome....used to order from them all the time back in the day.  Tortorice's is a bit west of Wrigleyville on Irving Park and they have great thin crust as well.

    You might wait longer to get a burger at Au Cheval than merch at Wrigley. 
    Also if you go get pizza at Lou Malnati's get the butter crust option. The Butter Crust is life changing

    Ditkas is good. Great lamb chops. It’s not as bears themed as you might expect, but it’s very good food.

    Many good pizza options but Pequod's is THE place for deep dish.
    Pat's is a great thin option but don't sleep on Home Run Inn ... just a few blocks from Wrigley.

    Most importantly, if you like beer and you are near Wrigley you need to hit Corridor.
