Second Bar + Kitchen (CLOSED)

Though Congress no longer stands next to Second Bar & Kitchen, we like to think this monument of a burger plays homage to the city’s iconic fine dining restaurant. Brisket and chuck are fresh ground and oozing with Gruyere and a smear of shallot confit. Diners can customize their orders with the usual toppings (lettuce, tomatoes and pickles) or go all out with pork belly or seared foie gras.
