"When most people think of Anthony Bourdain’s visits to San Francisco, they often recall how he famously shared a drink with Chris Cosentino at the Tonga Room. But in a just-as-relevant stop, after a night of drinks in North Beach the everyman found himself where most drunk San Franciscans have found themselves: Sam’s Burgers. Although Sam’s keeps its late-night hours to the weekends these days, the burger has always been the way to go, whether it’s day or night at this diner counter spot." - Dianne de Guzman
