A month after BurgerFi closed its doors at Pike & Rose, a new burger place is moving in — and this time it’s local. Char’d serves up grass-fed beef, organic chicken tenders, fries cooked in duck fat, and shakes made with premium ice cream. All the food is halal and cooked without additives, preservatives or seed oils. “It’s not exactly low-calorie, but it’s cleaner calories,” says owner Khallil Daher, who left his career as a mechanical engineer to enter the restaurant business. Daher started with a food truck, opening his first brick-and-mortar location at Tysons Galleria last year. At Pike & Rose, he hopes to debut in February.
