The regular: The Quest for the Best Cloth Napkin Burger

There’s nothing like a good juicy hamburger, and in the middle of “damn, my wallet is empty” times, burgers are (usually) an inexpensive beacon on restaurant menus everywhere. And leave it to San Francisco chefs to up the burger ante, with everything from homemade buns to pickled onions to one-of-a-kind condiments.

Since people still want to go out, but not shell out the usual dough needed to do so, I was inspired to do a roundup of the best beef burgers in San Francisco. But here’s the catch: they had to be at places with cloth napkins. You know, fancy-ass burgers.

The City is full of them, as I painfully came to realize. Really now, what on earth was I thinking? In the end, I hit 15 places. In a little over a month’s time, mind you. I tried ‘em plain, with cheese, with truffles, with mustard, without, but always asked for a true medium rare. I didn’t get to make it to every place in the City, because I had to wave the flag at some point. Like, ow, enough already. It’s a miracle I don’t have gout.
