Most people come to Center City’s a.kitchen for things like their whole branzino, chicken liver terrine, or a bowl of pasta. But since the fine-dining bistro cooks everything so well, it’s no surprise that they make good burgers here as well. The patty has a nice char on it, reminding us of a backyard cookout, and has some super salty cornichons to give it some texture. The bun is a toasty one from High Street On Market, and it keeps all the meat, american cheese, and dijonnaise nice and compact. This burger is big enough to split in case you want to save room for a chocolate tahini cake or maple lavender panna cotta to end your night.
