David Lebovitz at Joe's Cable Car in San Francisco

Posted by Robyn Lee, November 4, 2008 at 12:00 PM

After having trouble finding the perfect burger in the City of Lights, Paris-based chef and blogger David Lebovitz finally got his burger bliss at Joe's Cable Car while on a trip to San Francisco:

The beef is fresh-ground daily in their glass-enclosed butcher area up front, then shaped into 4, 6 and 8 ounce patties. My first thought was, "I'm going for the 8 ounce!" until I saw an 8 ounce go by, put my eyeballs back in their sockets, and switched to the 6'er, which turned out to be p—lenty big.

His only complaint was that they put mayonnaise on his burger. Highlights included the chocolate malted milkshake and the onion rings, which he described as the best he had ever eaten.
