Star-powered burgers

A new eatery at Beijing's Nali Patio beefs up the standard for meaty meals, Liu Zhihua finds.

I am generally wary of hamburgers, which I find to be greasy and unhealthy, but a newly opened burger restaurant makes a convincing case that burgers can be tasty and good for you at the same time.

Kenny's Burgers is the brainchild of its eponymous owner, celebrity Chinese chef Kenny Fu, who kicked things off quietly last month with a trial opening in Beijing's chic Sanlitun area. The restaurant, on the first floor of Nali Patio, already stands out in that Mediterranean-eatery hub with its stylish setting and foray into gourmet-style burgers.
