Oakwood Proper Burgers' Chili Queen
Tastemaker
By Anna Faller | June 8, 2024
Opened in 2021, Oakwood Proper Burgers in Traverse City is all about crafting meaningful eats, and when it comes to next-level flavor, the Chili Queen burger ($14.50) is the crowning jewel. Picture this: a one-third pound beef patty (sourced from a single Michigan farm), seared to juicy perfection and stacked with grilled poblano peppers and onions, crisp lettuce, creamy white queso, and house-made ketchup spiked with chili-garlic sauce. The whole shebang arrives on a grilled local bun alongside a bag of Great Lakes Potato Chips, though we suggest going all in on a basket of their famous garlic-parmesan fries. Find Oakwood Proper Burgers at 1108 E. Eighth St. in Traverse City. Summer hours are now in effect, and don’t forget to check out their additional seating in the ’70’s room next door!
