I quit drinking soda over a year ago and so far, so good. I drank mostly diet soda but some regular soda, too. The only 'soda' I've had since I quit is a handful of gin & tonics.

Bo's Burgers

I've been to the Pearl's in Mill Valley a number of times and find it to be very ordinary. The meat is nothing special, they routinely overcook MR orders, the fries aren't very good and the prices are too high for what they deliver.

I love me a good burger + fries and I'm here to say that Pearl's doesn't deliver excellence, let alone greatness.

My last visit to Red's Java house was my last visit to Red's Java House.

The burger was horrible and the fries were mediocre at best. I would put the quality of the offerings at the level of a really bad cafeteria. Actually, that's unfair to the last cafeteria burger I had (Marin Civic Center).

There are SO many good burger options in SF, I for one will be staying far away from Red's.

Bagels, lox and cream cheese.

Bagels, lox and cream cheese. Mmmmmm.

Mountain of perfectly smoked babyback ribs. Mmmmmm...

Case by case basis.

I've done my share of waiting:

the ball game
music festivals
tourist food stands
wait at bar with a reservation at a nice restaurant
wait in for place that doesn't take reservations

etc.

Some people get all up tight about waiting, some take it in stride.

There is a lot of waiting around in life, most of it crappy waiting (DMV, supermarket, toll roads, airplanes, etc.) so why not wait for some awesome food.

Great post!

The Kenji Homemade In-n-Out Animal Style Double-Double looks awesome!

If you need a CA based taste-tester, just say the word. I am a couple of miles from an In-N-Out in SF.

Only 3 more hours until In-N-Out opens - need to get me a Double-Double Animal Style.

Yes, please let us know if anyone tried this!

I do like M&G Burgers in Larkspur, CA.

I hope someone who eats the Burnt End Burger reports back and lets the rest of us know how it is.
