Flipper's, San Francisco

Tucked in the bustle of Hayes Valley, this place serves what may be the textbook definition of a gourmet hamburger. Classical music plays in the tidy dining area with the exuberant metal lighting fixtures. The youngish counter staff fries up half-pound burgers while keeping up a quiet banter with diners who run the gamut from artists to students. The classic burger and fries is delicious, but for something different, there is a version done with beets and walnuts that can be served as veggie, beef or poultry meal. The shakes are great and the hot apple pie does not get any better or more all-American than this.
