Red Apron Butchery

Enjoyed a Red Apron Original burger along with a beer from their plentiful selection on a nice sunny day! For only $13 the double patty burger and a side of fries felt like quite the bargain in DC. If it wasn’t so nice outside I would’ve definitely stayed at the bar, the skateboard decks are a nice touch.

Porkstrami Sandwich *twist on the traditional pastrami sandwich, shaved super thin and almost melts in your mouth, absolutely loved the sauerkraut reminded me of the sauerkraut I had in Berlin, not sour but rather savory and porky. *since I got my order to go, I might ask for the bread to be on the side next time because the mustard aioli made the bread super soggy Beef Fat Fries *Super crunchy with the skin on, great with the rosemary and garlic, added a nice flavor to the fries Spent $15 for lunch and I was super full and satisfied, definitely will be back. Interested in trying the beef and cheddar but reviews have been very mixed so I'm not sure.

The sandwiches at Red Apron are really tasty, but it seems a bit pricey although you could probably say that for most of Union Market. The Porkstrami sandwich though was really tasty, moist and full of flavor and the French fried are really a great as they are cooked with fresh herbs. Also seem to have a butcher's counter as well and they are best busy. The flow to the inside counter to order is a little non-intuitive as you pass the menu to order, but very tasty food. Not enough seating though for this busy stall.
