On our first night in San Francisco, we decided to take up the recommendation of our hotel's concierge to try the burgers at Pearl's Deluxe. The small resto is just a short walk from where we are staying but it was not your regular fast food joint so our concierge suggested that we call them in advance to make an advance order and for us to just pick it up. The Clairvoyant made a call with the number provided to us by the hotel (they actually gave us a list of recommended restaurants in the area with the contact numbers and indicating in dollar signs how expensive the food will be in those restos). Since we didn't know the menu, we had to ask Pearl's what cheeseburgers they had and ended up ordering one with cheddar and another with Jack's. We also asked for an order of large fries and upon pick-up, got 2 bottles of Vitamin Water.
Cheese burgers, large fries and bottles of Vitamin Water - our first meal on our first trip together in the US. Notice the paper containers used for the take out meal? These probably reflect the awareness of people here regarding waste.
Another photo of the burgers showing the melted cheese and the generous amount of onions, tomatoes and lettuce. The fries shown in the photo belie just how large the large serving was (It's about as much as 4 large fries at the local McDonald's back in Manila.).
The Clairvoyant agrees to show just how big the burger is. The patty itself is very satisfying and correctly deducing we won't be able to finish the two burgers, we sliced each in half. True enough, we were not able to finish the burgers and the fries and decided to put them away for breakfast the next day. The burgers still tasted great the next morning.
