Charlie's Kitchen ("The Double Cheeseburger King") is a restaurant serving American fare with New England specialties in the Harvard Square neighborhood of Cambridge, Massachusetts. “Charlie’s” houses bars on two separate floors; additionally, a front patio and backyard beer garden are open seasonally. The Boston Phoenix named it one of the best dive bars in Boston in 2009.[1]
Green Initiatives
Despite the grungy exterior, Charlie's Kitchen's management has undertaken several eco-friendly initiatives. Solar panels on the roof heat water for kitchen-use and the restaurant composts all of its food waste and recycles.[4] Some plastics, including the beer garden cups, are also compostable. Three vehicles run on the restaurant's waste fry oil.[5]
