The canonical version and where to order it.
Sang Yoon's dry-aged beef burger with caramelised onion, applewood bacon, Gruyere, Maytag blue and arugula on a roll, served with zero substitutions.
Father's Office opened on Montana Avenue in 1953, and after Sang Yoon took over in 2000 he rebuilt it around one burger: dry-aged beef, a bacon-onion compote, Gruyere and Maytag blue on a soft roll, arugula instead of lettuce and no ketchup in the building. The no-substitutions rule became as famous as the burger itself.
