The coronavirus pandemic is causing many to embrace simpler things. So perhaps it's no surprise that the once- humble burger is making a comeback in a starring role at some of the city's top restaurants. We may have lost Bernie's Burger Bus — former celebrity chef Justin Turner shuttered all locations after coronavirus shutdown losses — but with The Annie Café & Bar, Loch Bar, and a'Bouzy all doing standout twists on the traditional burger, worthy options still abound.
