Ugh, this burger wasn’t good at all! The patty was hard and dry and it was just unpleasant to eat as a whole. The menu also stated that it comes with crispy onions, but I received a lame side salad! #fail

Crazy Dave’s double dive-in cheeseburger – Garaje

Crazy Dave's double dive-in cheeseburger - Garaje
Served with French fries. $15
Garaje, San Francisco CA

This burger tasted ok, but the beef patties were dry and overcooked. They really set you up for failure to eat this decently sized burger though. The burger is crammed with lettuce and two patties that don’t want to stay still, but they loosely wrap it in a small piece of paper as if they think that’s sufficient to keep everything together. This was a mess to eat (and not in a good way) which frankly became quickly tiresome. There is no joy or pleasure in eating a pile of disintegrated burger garbage. #foodfail

Lori’s signature burger – Lori’s Diner

Lori's signature burger - Lori's Diner
1/3 pound burger topped with bacon, balsamic caramelized onions, and Swiss cheese. Served with sweet potato fries. $13.95
Lori’s Diner, San Francisco CA

This burger was a mess, and not in a good way. They definitely over-stuff this burger and the flimsy bun just can’t handle it so the burger quickly disintegrates. It’s not fun to have to eat a burger with a fork. #fail

Absinthe hamburger – Absinthe

Absinthe hamburger - Absinthe
Piedmontese beef chuck and brisket, aioli, gem lettuce, red onion, house-made pickles, french fries. Add fried egg. $18
Absinthe, San Francisco CA

This burger was very tasty, and very filling! I also love the hot, crispy French fries. I’m not sure why I thought I needed this and the soft pretzel rolls while eating alone for lunch. I was stuffed! But very content. 🙂
