Place: Pearl's de luxe, San Francisco.
Burger: The Mini, with cheese
Bun: sesame, lightly warmed on grill
Architecture: bun, cheese, beef, bun; all condiments on the side
Dressing: none.
Drinks: water. Located just off Union Square in downtown San Francisco, Pearl's is an
award-winning burger joint, and, in my opinion, one mean grease
factory. The meat, ordered medium, arrived just as I wanted, with
flavorful juices dripping all over the place. This was all the more
impressive since I ordered a measly quarter pounder, leaving not much
room for error (in terms of getting to the right temperature without
overcooking). Coarsely ground, the meat had a granular, chewy texture
that was surprisingly pleasant. The cheese, most certainly machine
produced and sold in wholesale slabs, nevertheless screamed Stars and
Stripes -- with a tenderly mildness that reminded me of cafeteria mac
'n cheese from the college years.
