San Diego’s Best Burgers | Eater San Diego

"Best known for its fine dining experiences, many people don’t realize that Nine-Ten Restaurant and Bar also makes a mean burger. This La Jolla gem and Michelin standout offers an ideal backdrop for an upscale burger night: a high-ceiling dining room, an L-shaped bar, and an ocean-inspired wall panorama by local artist Dana Montlack set the scene. The restaurant’s $29 namesake burger comes with a half-pound patty made of grass-fed beef served on a brioche bun with homemade pickles, mustard aioli, lettuce, and tomato, plus diner’s choice of fries or mixed greens. Adding truffle fries to the mix for $2 is basically a prerequisite. Know before you go: Other add-ons like gluten-free buns, bacon, cheese, and avocado can cost up to $5 more." - Roxana Becerril
