Many of the burgers on this list have names, but not this one. Chef Ryan Farr simply refers to it as the “best damn grass-fed cheeseburger” on the menu. This quarter-pound burger with a bun filled with scallions and sesame seeds, topped with onion, lettuce, a secret sauce, and Gruyere cheese, is a must-try for any foodie visiting San Francisco soon. “It’s always cooked to a perfectly juicy medium-rare,” Eater restaurant editor Hillary Dixler Canavan said of the steak.
