Weekly Recommendation
This week’s recommendation is the Bent burger (bacon, cheddar, pickled jalepenos, grilled onions, shredduce, OKG sauce & Acme bun) at Overkill Grill (inside of Benders, Mission District), from the fine folks who brought you Cathead’s BBQ. It’s a fantastic burger in one of my favorite bars in the city (pair it with a West Coast IPA from Ghost Town Brewing, Oakland).
See the archived weekly recommendations w/ all my favorite dishes, bites, & more (just added: my top 5 favorite pizza slices & top 6 burgers in San Francisco).
