Father’s Office

This neighborhood staple from renowned chef Sang Yoon is always loud and jam-packed—and it probably has something to do with the famed Office burger (we’ll get to that later). Don’t let the crowd discourage you; just grab a beer from the list that’s almost three times the length of the food menu, and mingle with friends while you wait for a table. The name of the game here is upscale bar food, including garlicky mushrooms and some excellent fries. But the star is the messy, delicious, cult-favorite burger, made with applewood bacon, arugula, Gruyère and Maytag blue cheese, and a heap of caramelized onions. No substitutions, but trust us: that’s A-okay.
