Paying homage to one of the German origin's most iconic dishes, Chef Jorge Kauam’s handcrafted burgers from Gutenburg is something special. Gutenburg—a play on the German word gut, meaning “good”, elevates the classic smash burger through modern techniques and premium ingredients.

Since coming to Chicago in 2023, Gutenburg embraces the city’s bold and deeply rooted food culture. This evolution led to the incorporation of local icons such as the classic Chicago Dog and the creation of the Chicago Style Burger, a signature interpretation that celebrates Chicago’s unmistakable flavors and traditions.

Rooted in the humble beginnings of the hamburger, yet driven by innovation, Gutenburg offers a lineup of umami-forward smash burgers, with the menu being rounded out with German-style sausages, traditional German-inspired cakes, and thoughtfully crafted sides. Each dish delivers a modern, indulgent take on American classics with unmistakable German influence.
