Union Trust is one of the most dramatic restaurant spaces in Philadelphia, and their new $7.17 menu is a dramatic deal for budget-conscious diners. Featuring a kobe beef burger (in addition to other drink and food specials,) Union Trust is making the classic steakhouse burger more affordable and accessible.
Chef de Cuisine Chaz Brown’s 8oz kobe burger is served on a brioche bun with a sweet onion jam, tomato compote and cheddar. The Akaushi beef (a direct descendant of the Mount Aso herds from Japan) is sourced from Heartbrand Beef in Texas. The meat is all natural and lower in saturated fat and cholesterol than other brands of beef.
Also on the Union Trust menu, though not part of the $7.17 special, is a ribeye sandwich dusted with cajun seasoning and cooked to temperature, served with crispy fried onions and choice of cheese on a torpedo roll. Vegetarians can savor the marinated portobello sandwich with roasted red pepper, spinach, basil pesto and a heaping slice of Claudio’s fresh buffalo mozzarella.
