MP Burger with Duck Fat Fries

I’m very excited about the June opening of Chef/ Restaurateur Chris Siversen’s BURG: Burgers & Taps in the heart of Newark’s recently revitalized Military Park.

I was at Chef Siversen’s popular Maritime Parc for brunch recently, and he gave our group a sneak peek (and taste) of some of the burgers he’ll be serving at his new, hip, casual burger place, BURG, due to open in June. I was impressed by the signature meat blend he created in collaboration with DeBragga – short rib, brisket, and chuck.

BURG will feature hand-crafted burgers, salads and mini-doughnuts with value-priced wine, craft beer on tap and a spirited signature cocktail list.  

Chef Siversen’s commitment to sourcing locally goes for beer as well as food from notable NJ purveyors Radicle Farms, Zone 7, Valley Shepherd and DeBragga. 

Burg Rendering

BURG’s modern comfort-style interior is designed by Manhattan-based Stephanie Goto, creator of Maritime Parc’s award-winning look, and will feature elements of an old-fashioned diner. Burger lovers may walk up to the counter and place their orders to go, or sit and eat at one of 40 seats inside or 60 overlooking the gardens outside. BURG will be open 7 days for lunch & dinner.

Here’s a taste of what to expect: 

• Cowboy Burger:Signature beef patty topped w/roast beef, BBQ sauce, onions 
• Chicken Burger: Kale pesto, pickled onions, sautéed mushrooms
• Lamb Burger: Olive hummus, feta, tzatziki

Looking forward to burger-ing up at BURG!

Cheers,
