An Illinois-made burger was just named among the best in America, and if you're hungry, you should probably stop reading.

While it might come off as a bit hyperbolic, the word on this burger is that things for you will be different after you eat.

WHAT MAKES A BURGER SO TASTY?

As Jules Winfield said in the classic Pulp Fiction, there are many factors involved in making a "tasty burger."

While I'm not talking about the Big Kahuna Burger, I am shedding some light on a list of the 12 best burgers in America, according to Infatuation.

The list mentions one that is right here in Illinois and should be worth the trip.

SO MANY BURGERS, SO LITTLE TIME

While I wish I could hit up every one of these places, it sounds like The Loyalist is my spot.

Infatuation says, "The Loyalist is a casual French restaurant hiding out on a quiet side street in Chicago, and the main reason to come here is for the outstanding burger. The patty is made from a mixture of chuck, short rib, and bacon, giving it a light, smoky flavor and incredible richness. The cheese is gooey, and the caramelized onions are plentiful. In other words, this is a life-changing burger."

TRIPADVISOR'S THOUGHTS ON THE LOYALIST

One review called the burgers at The Loyalist the "best burger ever anywhere," and another called their Classic Burger "our absolute favorite 10/10."

I'm going on a limb here and saying I think this three-starred Michelin restaurant does a bit more than just burgers perfectly.

See it for yourself because The Loyalist is nearby, located at 177 N Ada Street in Chicago.
