This burger had a lot of great flavors, but it was super cold – EW! I think the server must have forgotten it on the counter for a long time before bringing it out. I was surprised that the skinny French fries stayed crispy and delicious though. I can only imagine how much better they would have been served warm. Kind lame, Stock in Trade!

Wagyu beef onglet – ANZU

Wagyu beef onglet ANZU
10 ounces of grilled hanger steak served with Béarnaise sauce and blue cheese butter, regular and sweet potato frites, and a mushroom custard topped with sauteed carrots and zucchini.
ANZU, San Francisco

I ordered the onglet medium rare, and it arrived cooked perfectly.  I’m always weary when a beef cut is labeled “Wagyu” because I have to wonder if it’s actually imported from Japan.  I’ve heard that some places will call their beef “Wagyu” even though the meat is sourced locally.  Regardless, this meat was very tender and delicious.  I preferred the blue cheese butter more than the Béarnaise sauce.  I was disappointed that the frites were oily and soggy, though.
