"Maillards makes a convincing case for crispy beef and pickles before your morning cup of coffee. Their smashburger—available starting at 9am at the Outer Sunset Farmers Market—is a citywide treasure. The patties are pressed so thin they could be classified as chips, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t also tender and juicy. Each burger is a gooey vision loaded with melty American cheese, pickles, house sauce, and caramelized shallots. Well-seasoned fries round out the whole meal. These things do sell out, so try to get there early. And if you'd rather eat your burger for dinner, they also pop up at Heritage Restaurant & Bar in the Richmond on Tuesday evenings. Food Rundown Maillards Double Double patties reign supreme in the Maillards universe. The more pressed beef, the better. You’re getting this. photo credit: Julia Chen Fries Like the ones from the place with golden arches, but better. These crisp, salty babies get an added savory oomph from a hot oil bath in beef tallow." - Julia Chen
