Great Burgers Are a Few Miles Away

A few local spots to satisfy that red meat craving.

A great burger does not have to be the stuff of summer barbeques only. If you’re in the mood for a giant burger but don’t want to fire up the grill, here are a few places to go to get that beefy fix.

The name says it all for this local chain of burger joints. This Bayhill Shopping Center location features a variety of giant burgers made to order, and offers local favorite Mitchell’s ice cream for dessert.

Located in a shopping center along El Camino Real, this popular chain keeps diners coming back with their huge burger menu, which features favorites like the Guacamole Bacon Burger and the Bleu Ribbon Burger.

Head to this South San Francisco eatery early in the day to enjoy a huge burger. Located on Grand Avenue right in the heart of downtown, this cozy café is open for breakfast and lunch only.

An Italian deli may not be the first place most people look for a great burger, but Lidia’s in South San Francisco features Niman ranch beef for their patties. Stop in for a burger and grab some pasta on the side.

If you find yourself craving some red meat while on a day trip to San Francisco, stop in to this neighborhood classic. Bill’s Place features a full menu of gourmet “Celebrity” burgers, named after famous locals. Enjoy a Herb Caen Burger with Monterey Jack cheese or the Carol Doda, which honors the dancing legend with two side-by-side 1/3 lb. beef patties topped with an olive apiece.

Mr, Kiely, When they cut school days, isn't the savings in that the employees who directly work withRead More and for the children are deprived of that many days of pay??? Do the principals also lose 5 days pay? Does Hutt lose 5 days pay? Do the board members lose 5 days worth of their stipend. In other words, is the bad tasting medicine swallowed by everyone in the school district in a sincere effort to cure the ills of this school district Or is it just the teachers and the classified workers who are called upon to attempt a restoral of good health, the direct result of poor management and less than admirable leadership that has brought about ths crisis??

Mr, Kiely, Somewhere I heard that they were considering stopping contracting out PE at a largeRead More savings. Was that discussed last week? I was not abe to stay the entire evening. I question why they would have contracted for PE at the elementary level. Isn't that what recess and the balance of lunch time was for? Physical activity??? Thank you in advance for your always knowledgeable answer to my questions.

District cutting school days? The District is showing an agreement with the union which will saveRead More $200K. It doesn't show where the money is coming from, but the amount makes it look like they are cutting 5 days from the calendar. Dr. Hutt said at the last meeting that the length of the school year was still under negotiation.
