Tribune continues its mastery of burger coverage

Metromix compiles an annotated photo gallery of all the things it loves about a classy new Chicago burger joint, DMK. Every frame is delicious.

On buns, saying something by being item #1: "Developed specifically for DMK over four months of trials, these toasty rounds, griddled up with sweet cream butter, are perfectly fitted to the 5-ounce patties."

On cocktails: [Picture of pink drink.]

On mac and cheese, with an amazing picture: "Our pick: The No. 2, gruyere and rigatoni served over a thin layer of charred balsamic-marinated onions and topped with crunchy bits of bacon."

On fries: "Our server declared the sweet potato variety with lemon-Tabasco aioli ($2) an early frontrunner, but we’d find it hard to resist ordering the parmesan-topped fries with truffle cream ($3) again." … Parmesan-topped fries with truffle cream. Tremendously distracted.

On ice cream sandwiches: [Picture of ice cream sandwich.]
