I remember this place well. My dad used to treat us The Painted Doll all the time. I loved the sauce with our fries soaked in the sauce. Englewood is not the same anymore, but memories will last forever. Painted Doll was a gem in Englewood.

WOW! I was seating here with my Mom at the bank abs suddenly she said she wanted a Burger. I asked my mom did she remember bringing those Burgers home. She said Yes. I instantly thought of Painted Doll and the infamous Burgers. I searched for the recipe and here I found this. Thanks for trying to re-create the Burger! This weekend I will be eating Painted Doll Burgers.

My Sisters Husband Knew The Owner Joe who was Murdered in his home Christmas Eve after Closing for The Night.
He told my brother in law that they used ground Chitterlings and Juice from Chitterlings, Ground Pork Sausage and Beef..Bay Leafs Also.
The Sauce help perfected the taste. My Sister Got it Down Pack!!

Wow! I never knew that happened to Joe!! I had an unfortunate introduction to him when I was 13, I borrowed my cousin's car and accidentally ran into his Chevy Suburban in front of the restaurant. He never pressed charges, and I thank him today for that! I found out later, He was a great guy!

I loved that burger! DiMarie T, please help us with the sauce recipe, your sister has down pat. I agree with you about dipping the fries in the sauce. The sauce was amazing!

Hello all, I live on the south side of Chicago and we had the pleasure of Painted Doll on 105th and halstead, I guess after they moved from Englewood. Yes those burgers were unique; loved them. All to say, DiMarie, would you be willing to share the recipe for the burger and especially the sauce?

I've lived in Englewood for over 40 years and I loved painted doll's burgers. It was such an unique taste. I was a teenager then and I thought they would be there forever. I still remember the people who worked there. I hoped this recipe evokes those memories.

I hope they do, too. The Painted Doll moved out to 105th & Halsted, but I understand that place has closed, too.

Wow! Thanks for that recipe ChefJune, I grew up a few blocks from The Painted Doll, and remember them well! My family loved their food, and frequently visited there. I'll be using this recipe at my next barbeque!

Wow! I never expected to see this kind of comment on food52. I sure hope it evokes the same memories for you that it does for me. Make sure that you make them really thick through, and that you give them enough time to cook.
