The Kitchen at Red Palace is open

For the longest time I've heard about plans to roll out gourmet burgers at Red Palace (or the pre-merger Red and the Black). It's finally happened, and menu is no disappointment. You can get the wings and fries you'd expect from a bar menu, but you can also swap out your fries for a side salad. They have a vegan burger option, and the Burporken is sure to please the most devoted carnivore. The Burporken is a beef burger, topped with pulled pork, topped with grilled chicken. It sounds vaguely sacrilegious, but I suspect it's delicious.

Kitchen hours are 5pm-11pm weeknights, and 5pm-1am on weekends.
1210 H Street

OT: I've never quite understood the way in which the term "slider" has been adopted by restaurants to refer to small burgers. The term was originally coined in the 70s (or earlier; that's when I first remember hearing it) as a *perjorative* to refer to the texture of the little hamburgers from White Castle.

Oh, re: the menu from Red Palace -- does this mean they've junked the stuff from the old menu? My memory is that they used to do red beans and rice etc. No longer available?

Chris,
That is correct. I'm actually not sure if they have had the red beans and rice for a while. The Argo used to cater for them (hence the cubano on the menu). I don't know when that stopped, or if they had a replacement caterer after the Argo fire.

The burger I had was on par, if not better than Big Board's. Very impressive.

I agree. The burgers are bigger and more tasty than Big Board. And, unlike Big Board, their fries are crispy. Great job Red Palace!
