PHILADELPHIA — If your New Year's resolution was to cut carbs, you might want to look away. But if you are looking for the most chaotic, delicious, and Instagram-worthy meal in the city right now, get yourself to Jeweler's Row immediately.
Craftsman Row Saloon, famous for its over-the-top Christmas displays, has officially pivoted to Mardi Gras, and they aren't playing it safe with the menu.
The "King Cake Burger" Has Arrived
The headline act of this year's pop-up is a sweet-and-savory monster that sounds like a fever dream. It’s called the King Cake Burger, and here is the breakdown:
- The Meat: Two smashed patties.
- The Toppings: American cheese, bacon, a fried egg, and maple syrup.
- The Bun: Actual King Cake bread.
It is breakfast, dinner, and dessert all at once, and it is the kind of culinary stunt that Philly foodies live for.
Not Just Burgers
If the burger is too much, the rest of the menu is equally stacked with NOLA staples. The kitchen is pumping out Crawfish Mac N Cheese, Andouille Sausage Rice Balls, and massive Po Boys (shrimp, sausage, or a combo of both).
The Legendary Shake Returns
Of course, you can't leave without the dessert that put this place on the map. The King of Bourbon Street Milkshake is back. It’s a towering glass of Bassett’s vanilla ice cream blended with King Cake crumble, cinnamon, and caramel, garnished with literal beads and festive sprinkles.
Go hungry, leave covered in glitter. It’s the Philly way.
