Recommended / Mentioned Dishes

• Au Cheval burgerThe bare bones Au Cheval burger boasts two 4-ounce beef patties, with American cheese melted over the top of each, on a mayo-slathered brioche bun with thinly sliced pickles for $17.$17.00
• Black-pepper bacon (add-on)a couple of thick planks of black-pepper bacon ($4.50), amounting to a single slice$4.50
• Fried egg (add-on)a perfectly fried egg ($2), the jiggly yolk about to explode, laid over the top$2.00
• Double patties (upgrade)For an extra $2.50, you can double the number of patties, bringing the most extravagant version of the Au Cheval burger up to $26.$2.50
• Skin-on french friesA perfect garlic aioli comes with the metal cone of really good skin-on french fries ($8).$8.00
• Chopped chicken liversThe wonderful chopped chicken livers, furnished with greasy, griddle-cooked toasts, arrives with garlic butter, which might as well be aioli.
• Hash browns with duck-heart gravyThe equally great hash browns with duck-heart gravy ($14.95) drips with a cream-colored bechamel, which reads as a flatter mayo.$14.95
• Bologna sandwichThe bologna sandwich comes with so much thick mayo you can barely make out the meat. In spite of that, it’s the best bologna sandwich you’ve ever tasted, with an astonishing quantity of thin sliced meat. (Au Cheval makes its own bologna, smoothly textured and garlicky.)
• General Jane’s honey-fried chickenOne is a version of Korean fried chicken called General Jane’s honey-fried chicken ($18.95), which comes with four wet, rolled-up washcloths right on the plate, as if you should eat those, too.$18.95
• Salad (baby lettuces)The other dud is the menu’s sole concession to the world of vegetables, a salad of the usual baby lettuces so boring that you won’t eat much of it despite your virtuous intentions.
• Military latteA coffee bar greets you, with oddities like a “military latte” ($5.95, a gritty and awful combo of matcha, espresso, and hot cocoa);$5.95
• Au Cheval (double up to $26 example)The double patty Au Cheval with bacon and egg... for an extra $2.50, you can double the number of patties, bringing the most extravagant version of the Au Cheval burger up to $26.$26.00
