Comments (0) Best Upscale Burger and Fries - 2004
Zuni Cafe
There's so much other good stuff on the menu at Zuni that we tend to forget that the place makes the juiciest, most delicious hamburger around: 6 ounces of Niman Ranch beef, ground in-house, served on rosemary focaccia with garden lettuces, garlicky aioli, and the restaurant's own famous pickles. The basic burger is $11.50, and you can customize it with Gruyère ($1.50), Gorgonzola ($1.50), portobello mushroom ($1.50), or grilled onions (75 cents). What the hell, throw in an order of crisp, thin shoestring fries ($6). And a meal like this deserves a nice glass of red, from the very nice list. Life can be good indeed. (The burger is available before 6 and after 10 p.m.)
