"Walking up to the window at Highland Park's Penny's Burgers feels like entering a time machine, with all the charm of an old-school burger joint and affordable prices. The classic cheeseburger immediately caught my eye, catapulting me back to childhood afternoons at Fatburger, where I would dig into char-grilled patties on sesame buns. While there are a few seats on the patio, the interior is a better choice on a hot day:"
"There's plenty of heat that's tempered by cream; for any time a bite feels too rich, the brightness of the kimchi kicks in to cut through the fat. The dish is generously loaded with bacon, which adds so much savoriness when paired with a shower of Parmesan and chives. The rigatoni itself is cooked to an optimal al dente and I love how the sauce envelops each tubular shape."
Penny's Burgers in Highland Park evokes an old-school burger joint with affordable prices, vinyl booths, and a cut-out window into the kitchen. The classic cheeseburger uses a medium-thick, char-grilled patty on a soft sesame bun with crisp lettuce and minimal fuss, creating a nostalgic, straightforward flavor. The fries arrive piping hot and intensely savory. Jilli Modern Sool Jib's rigatoni alla kimchi vodka combines spicy vodka cream tempered by bright kimchi, generous bacon, Parmesan, and chives. The rigatoni is al dente and the sauce clings to each piece, balancing heat, creaminess, and savoriness.
