TastyPals Editorial Pick
CM
Carlos Mendez
Food & Drink Editor
“Ember Kitchen earns its reputation through the smash burger: the crust forms on a properly hot griddle and the cheese melts fully before it leaves the kitchen — the two things that make or break the format. Worth a second visit to work through the full menu. Walk-ins are generally fine, though weekend brunch lines move quickly.”
