derek and i are huge fans of top chef masters competition, where hubert keller was a finalist. when i found out that he had a burger restaurant in san francisco, derek and i had to go. i was slightly worried when i discovered that the burger bar is located above macy's in union square, which is extremely touristy (which usually suggests bad food). but we forged ahead.
the burger bar is not what we expected. it clearly caters to tourists. the floor is sticky with what i assume was the result of tourists spilling sugary cocktails and beer everywhere. the burgers are overpriced and while they were decent, it wasn't the quality that we were looking for. for me, the highlight was the zucchini fries, which were crispy and crunchy on the outside, but soft on the inside. but even the zucchini fries aren't worth a repeat visit here. lesson learned - gotta trust my instincts and not be blinded by the names of famous chefs.
