Republique

At Republique, the multi-faceted Mid-City restaurant and bakery from chefs Walter Manzke and wife Margarita Manzke, brunch is always in session during the day. Their dry-aged beef burger has been a breakout hit, teaming a substantial, medium-griddled beef patty made with equal parts short rib and Prime dry-aged rib-eye, American cheese, caramelized onions, and special sauce (ketchup, mayo, and house-made pickle relish) on a house-baked, poppy seed-studded pain de mie, served with French fries.
