HBFC was born out of Sunday Dinner Club, a communal dining club, which was founded in 2005 by chefs Christine Cikowski and Josh Kulp. Their crowd favorite burger was sold at Chicago's Green City Market for 7 years before HBFC opened, as well as yearly dinners at SDC. Since SDC went on hiatus in 2022, the burger has only made one appearance to public which was HBFC's Roscoe Rewind. SDC, Josh and Christine are popping up once again on HBFC's 10th birthday to celebrate.
