Burger Tap Reveals Menu

Owners of announced menu options at the latest restaurant set to open in Morningside this month.

The restaurant will feature four different burgers: a classic cheeseburger, a Mexican burger — smoky chipotle Cheddar cheese, pickled jalapeno and a crispy tortilla chip — an Asian burger with house slaw and barbecue glaze, and a truffle burger, which is glazed in white truffle oil and topped with Gruyere cheese, crispy onions and roasted garlic aioli.

Sides will include fries, onion rings and sweet potato fries.

Most burgers will cost patrons $3.50 (the truffle burger is priced at $6.50) and sides range from $2 to $5.

The restaurant will also offer a selection of 25 local, national and international beers on tap and a soda machine that dispenses 12 different soda flavors.

“Burger Tap is a marriage between gourmet and fast food,” owner Sam Hyon said. “We’ve paid attention to every possible detail. Our methods of preparation and flavor profiles offer restaurant quality in a fast-casual setting.”

Executive chef Sean Park said he and owners of Burger Tap searched the country for “the best fast-casual burger” but found themselves “underwhelmed by taste and overwhelmed by decisions.”

“Should my burger be made of beef, bison, turkey or lamb? On a white, wheat or gluten-free bun? And with which cheese, topping, sauce, jam or relish? As a chef, I understand the balance of sweet, savory and different textures and have put together four perfectly balanced burgers,” Park said.

There is no firm date set for the opening of the restaurant, but owners estimate it will open by the end of November.

Burger Tap will be located at 1409 N. Highland Ave. in the former space occupied by Caramba Café.
