RIP
From DC9:
“The Holidays are about giving and celebrating. They are about overindulgence and spending time with friends both new and old.
In that spirit DC9 is bringing back to life the much lauded Palena Burger!
It’s been five years since the acclaimed Palena closed its doors and the beloved burger graced the tables of DC dinners, and we miss it. Amber Bursik, chef at DC9, whom cooked at Palena for several years and cooked many of those Palena burgers herself thought this was the way she and DC9 could spread some holiday cheer to their guests.
The burger will be called The Ruta to honor Palena Chef, Frank Ruta and also to indicate its close approximation to the Palena Burger. The Ruta will be using the same luxurious Italian truffle cheese and the same house made mayo as the original Palena burger but also utilizing the All Natural Beef and brioche buns that make DC9’s burgers so delicious. Rounding out the plate will be a mix of pickles, just like the ones at Palena and DC9’s garlic fries.
The Ruta will be available the whole month of December!
Happy Holidays”
