Hamburger America: Joe's Cable Car
Hmm i wonder how's the special press of Joe's design looks like? Pressing the meat into patties is the most complicated thing i've ever done, since i only had a very traditional tupperware's design to make them into patties :p hahaha
Press and spin...
mmm this blog actually has inspired me to make some burger again,
thx AHT !!!
Hamburger America: Joe's Cable Car
Just had a burger there at Joe's Cable Car, George. It was amazing. I love what he does with the bit of butter. And the cheese he's using is great. Melted perfectly and stayed nice and gooey (probably thanks to the butter). It turns out the place is within easy walking distance of my GF's parents' place, where I'm staying right now. How 'bout that!?!?
Hamburger America: Joe's Cable Car
c'mon hamburgamerica, we grind fresh chuck everyday , we charge $5.75 for an 8 oz natural black angus beef BURGER in our great tax state of connecticut!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There are not allot of people doing fresh ground meat these days as George would attest to, so lets give a thataboy to the guys that are doing it the right way, the diffference is second to none and the added up/charge is worth every dime.
A'men Joe!

@ penelope....my bad then...I left Sf before a 'health insurance surcharge' was added...but if ya' want a cheaper burger, I guess ya' gotta make it yourself then....peace
Hamburger America: Joe's Cable Car
Great to see slices of HAMBURGER AMERICA... I picked up (the must have) book about a week and a half ago and funny enough I read this excerpt earlier today. Yeah, Yeah. I know. I should be much farther in by now…I’m savoring it.
So what about the price @ Joe’s! You get what you pay for these days. I haven't been to Joe's yet, but can't wait 'til the day. My recent travels have brought me to quite a few joints though. Radius in Boston, $17, and I will say mighty tasty. The copper pot of fries really did it for those of us into presentation. And the horseradish really added to the burger. Definitely a thumbs up for me. Last Friday I tried to do 3 burger stops in NYC while on route to Shea. I finished 2 and a half and was quite disappointed. Shake Shack lived up to the rep except for the dweebs in front of me who ordered 30+ for their entire floor at work. brgr sucked. The bar stool chairs were rad. But I'll never be back. And Corner Bistro was a letdown. Cheap beer, but I won't become a patron anytime soon.
Sorry for the ramble...but it is a blog site. Anyway, back to the price thing. Every time I go to Le Tub I always spend over 40 for my part of the check. But that definitely has something to do with the wait and the need to continue to quench my thirst with cans of beer.
Moral to the story = cry to someone else about your wallet...you'll get no love here.

@iwannacook:
Prices from Joe's menu, applied to our meal--
Two 4-oz burgers @ $9.75 each = $19.50
Add 2 slices of cheese @ $.85 per slice = $1.70
One Large order fries = $3.95
One Milkshake = $4.50
One Diet Coke = $2.50
TOTAL: $32.15
Add tax, tip, and health insurance surcharge and you are well over $40. If you have anything other than a plain burger with cheese add another $2 per burger.
It's a fine burger, but it's not worth the price, IMHO.
Hamburger America: Joe's Cable Car
WOW! I wish I could find a burger joint over here in England that took its burgers as seriously as Joe' does. I second Nadyas curiosity over Joe's special designed patty making press,... anyone?
Hamburger America: Joe's Cable Car
Do you see the guy in the picture? He's grinding fresh chuck, right next to the griddle. That's why the prices are a little high. You'll have a hard time trying to find fresh ground burgers (at least that fresh) anywhere.
Hamburger America: Joe's Cable Car
$9.75 is the lowest price and that's for a 4oz hamburger. From the restaurant's website

@ Penelope...I've eaten at CCJ's many times (but ahven't been in SF for 18 months)...and I have to cry " Male Bovine Poop" on you...however, CCJ's is where many off duty chefs hang and have a burger...if they would only have black truffles available....peace
Hamburger America: Joe's Cable Car
As a recent transplant to San Francisco, I was eager to test Joe's burgers. While they were tasty enough, I was appalled by the prices. My husband and i each had a 4-oz. burger, shared an order of fries and a vanilla shake, and I believe a Diet Coke. Our check came to over $40!!!!! Needless to say, we won't be becoming regulars at Joe's, despite our love of burgers and the restaurant's proximity to our house.

Welcome George! I hope this inspires those that have yet to pick up a copy of Hamburger America to do so, it is a wonderful book.
