Chez Maman

Sunday night my wife's friends took us to have the "Second Best Burger in San Francisco." Why the second best? I guess the best wasn't too good. The second best burger in SF is from Chez Maman in Potrero Hill. I know what you're thinking, "Burgers at a french restaurant...WTF?" I thought the same thing. Well let me tell, those french guys make a pretty mean cheeseburger. The place is tiny. One table and counter space that fits maybe twelve. Like a walk-in closet with a grill. It's a three man operation, but everything ran pretty smooth. Their Basic Burger is served with frites & a small salad for $10.50 (cheese is a $1.50 extra.) Price: not bad for a french joint. The burger presentation is nice. The patty sits atop a fresh and light roll. There's a dab of garlic mayo and the fries remind me (in a good way) of those tasty canned Picniks potato sticks I ate as a kid. Apperance: Plated very nicely. I take a bite. "Ceci est un bon hamburger!" This is a good hamburger! The meat is very good. Nicely seasoned, cooked perfectly. Juicy and delicious. The set up is very, vey good. I cleaned my plate. I'm sold. This IS the second best burger in San Francisco. Thank you, Nora & Brian for introducing me. Those french know their burgers. I should have known because of all the good work they've done with their fries.
