The 10 Best Burgers in the City

There are approximately 600 restaurants in SF that have a burger on the menu. But who makes the ultimate gourmet burger, the pièce de résistance, the gold standard by which all others should be measured? To narrow it down, we set some standards (burgers must be high-end, include all-beef patties and be served for dinner), then we tasted, pondered and scrutinized 20 of the city’s best. Here they are, ranked in order, from 10 to one. The victor? It’s not who you think it is.

As much as burgers may vary according to region, genre, composition, price, presentation and personal preferences the best ones are invariably untidy, implosive handfuls you shouldn’t eat without a stack of paper napkins – or a duvet-sized cloth one – at the ready. All the burgers on my top 10 list share this most coveted of burger attributes.

Yum!

Do not call it the Tendernob. That is some stupid hipster real estate term. While there may be a transition between the two very different neighborhoods, that name is stupid, and lame.
