Brand-new burger and brand-new menu at Pub & Kitchen
Adams is working a new brioche-bunned contender into the fray: the Parliament, one of many new options on a completely overhauled P&K menu. We held our own version of Question Time with Adams yesterday to get the rundown on the new beefy legislative body.
Brand-new burger and brand-new menu at Pub & Kitchen
Last fall, chef Jonathan Adams at Pub & Kitchen (1946 Lombard St.) permanently shelved his popular Windsor burger indefinitely in favor of the $18, custom-LaFrieda-blend behemoth known as the Churchill. This month — tomorrow, Oct. 4, to be exact — Adams is working a new brioche-bunned contender into the fray: the Parliament, one of many new options on a completely overhauled P&K menu. We held our own version of Question Time with Adams yesterday to get the rundown on the new beefy legislative body.
Relying on LaFrieda's classic beef burger blend, which combines brisket, shoulder and short rib, The Parliament is an 8-ouncer formed slightly thinner than The Churchill, which remains on the menu. The accompaniments are what helps it stand on its own accord — English-style cheddar from Vermont's Grafton Village, house-cured pork belly (same stuff you miss from the Windsor), big rings of raw white onion, fresh lettuce and, most vitally, an herb- and mayo-based "pub sauce" spread onto the bottom bun. (Side of fries, too). The generous crunch of the onion and lettuce, plus that special house slather, lend it the feel of a classic American griddle-top burger a la In-N-Out or old-school Mickey D's, with each drippy, robust LaFrieda beef bite justifying the $14 price tag.
If you're put off by raw onions — it's a nearly zep-like eating experience — the Parliament is probably not the move for you, but there's more than a few alternatives on Adams' new fall menu. Peep it in full after the jump; the choucroute, fusilli with ragu bianco and roasted marrow bones sound like autumnal grubbing material for damn sure.

New menu looks good— MLF- Your photo of the burger cut in half is one of the most saliva inducing pics i've come across in a while. I just grubbed myself into a partial food coma on Santucci's and now you've got me thinking about burgers. But when I hit up PnK for this beauty I'll just have to remember NOT to ask for hot sauce. They hate that.— Jesse Cornell
