I know I'm going to fit in here
because this place is named
after the Greek goddess
of mischief and and chaos.
Elizabeth and Netti
said we had to check out
Eris in Old Irving
Park for their ciders.
Two women recommending a brewpub
that specializes in cider
with a side of trouble,
you can count me in.
So Eris, who was
paying attention
in middle school
Greek mythology?
- I think it was
both Katie and I,
my business partner.
Eris created a golden
apple that was thrown
into a party that
she wasn't invited to
and we really enjoy
the idea of throwing
our golden apple into
the brewery industry
and said, "We create cider too".
- You were the first female
founded brewery in Illinois?
- Yes.
We hope that we really
are an inspiration
to other women and
to other minorities.
When people walk in
the door they look
at this Masonic Temple
that we converted,
it's awe dropping because
there are two women
that run the place,
it is awe dropping
'cause we make cider and
beer in the same location
and our food is quality food.
- What are we going to make?
- Today we're gonna be
working with our burger.
- I know they use like
three different meats,
so it's actually kinda good
it's a little bit of a blend.
- Delicious it has
the right consistency.
- Our burgers made out of
three different types of meat,
it's got a beautiful bacon jam
that goes in the middle of it,
we use some cheese
from Carr Valley,
all on this brioche bun.
- And do you like to
pair that with a cider
or with a beer or both?
- Oh man you can do both.
- This is the first shoot
that I've had gloves
that actually fit my hands.
You're my new favorite chef.
Tell me what you do?
- Fantastic, so we've
got our patty right here.
- All right.
- [Claire] I've got a little
bit of salt and pepper
down below you, so you're
just gonna take that
and liberally sprinkle.
- [Marley] In our burger itself,
you've got three kinds of meat?
- [Claire] I got chuck,
Angus and short rib.
- Short rib included
in any burger.
- Sold.
- Makes it my favorite.
And we wait.
- [Claire] And now we wait.
- While my gloves fit.
If anyone missed my jazz
hands they'll be back.
- I will attempt to transform
your robotic routines
into poetry.
- In this well
over here I've got
some of that bacon jam.
You can give it a
good skosh of that,
maybe two skoshes.
- [Marley] Okay, two skoshes.
- [Claire] Two slices
of Carr Valley on.
- You know Claire
I knew I liked you
when you said bacon
and then you gave me
some size small gloves,
but to know that you put
extra cheese on a burger.
- Always.
- I like you so much more now.
I know you guys like
to see this part,
but it's gonna have
to just be a surprise.
- [Claire] You're
a butter expert.
- I love butter.
Is that looking up to snuff?
- It's pretty melty.
Pop that guy right on there
just so the fat drips off
a little bit so
we're not destroying
our bottom bun.
- Check that out.
- All right so
we're gonna serve it
with our house cut fries.
So it gets tossed in a
little bit of herb mix,
so we use rosemary,
oregano, parsley and thyme.
- If I get a cider
quickly becoming
my favorite place I've been too.
- Perfect.
- I can smell the
seasoning on the fries.
- [Michelle] It's been
a classic of ours.
- It's really like
a calming smell,
but I'm just dying to
dig into this burger.
- Nice and juicy.
- 'Cause we steam
melted that cheese,
it's all down the sides so
every bite is that perfect,
but that bacon jam.
What a nice, sweet kick to
put on top of that burger.
- The cheese is awesome too.
You get the sharpness
from the cheese.
- It sort of has every
flavor as you take the bite.
I have to try the fries
'cause I just keep smelling
this beautiful aroma.
They taste as good
as they smell.
- The best fries ever.
You could take these home
and put them in the oven
and they reheat perfectly also.
- Cheers to that.
Cheers to founding the
first female founded brewery
in Illinois and I'll be
bringing some females
your way so I hope you're ready.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
- [Marley] And now I'm gonna
eat the rest of this burger.
- [Michelle] No, go for it.
