Zeus burger: Narrowing down one’s options at Big & Little’s can be difficult upon arrival — so much meat and seafood, only so much stomach space! — but saving room for the Zeus burger ($8) is a wise bet. The Zeus is the father to sandwich son the Hercules: Both have seasoned lamb gyro meat, crumbled feta cheese, onion, tomato and a liberal slathering of tzatziki sauce, layered over a juicy beef patty and stuffed between a toasted bun instead of the traditional gyro pita. The Zeus also has the distinction of being topped with a hearty slab of an over-easy fried egg that takes chowing down to the next level. And while the burger fits comfortably between two hands — although a bit messily, so be prepared for that — the Zeus is certainly on the big side of things. 860 N. Orleans St., 312-943-0000; 1035 W. Belmont Ave., 773-857-6677; third location opening this summer at 1310 N. Milwaukee Ave.; bigandlittleschicago.com
