"It may not have the best burger in town, but Mel’s is an icon in San Francisco, first established in 1947 and featured in American Graffiti and Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner? The original location on Van Ness, which welcomed more than a hundred cars in its heyday, no longer exists. But the Geary location brought back that classic carhop service, a response, they say, to the COVID era." - Becky Duffett
