Just the thought of Pearl's Deluxe Burgers (708 Post St, at Jones, SF) gets our mouth watering, which is dangerous, since we live in close proximity to their TenderNob location.
In addition to regular, mini, and grass-fed burgers, Pearl's serves delicious grilled chicken sandwiches and yummy veggie burgers, but our fave is Pearl's grass-fed buffalo burgers. Their buffalo meat is super juicy and lean, with fewer calories and cholesterol than chicken.
Pearl's menu features quite a few options for your burgers as well as side dishes, including chili, salads, regular and sweet potato fries, and shakes of all different flavors. They even have what they call the King Burger, which has a hot dog on top. (That doesn't sound so appealing to us. We think they slice the hot dog in half vertically in order to get it to sit right.)
Pearl's is open until 2 a.m. on Friday and Saturday nights to suit your late-night cravings, but be forewarned -- they're closed on Sundays. We've been disappointed by this more than a few times. They also close kind of early on weeknights, at 10 p.m., but when they're open, they're our go-to joint. They also have a Mill Valley location, for those in the North Bay.



yay, pearls! pearl's is awesome. i like sitting at the window and people-watching.
Pearls is awesome. Health card score of 100!
The sweet potato fries are delightful. They also have half/half orders with fries and onion rings- frings, springs and spries.
And their fountain coke is super carbonated and delicious.
Mmm... Pearl.
And you can bring your food into Cafe Royale, double win!
They have really good veggie burgers.
Hell yeah! I love pearls.
Only a truly horrible person could not love Pearl's.
Anyone that thinks "lean" is a plus an idiot that knows little about actual nutrition.
Y'know, after 35 years of battling weight issues, yeah, I thought, y'know, "lean" was a fucking plus. Why else did I bother destroying my knee trying to keep in shape? Why else did I used to wrack up $200 bills at Target on Lean Cuisines? And why else do I feel so much guilt that my ex left me because I'm a big fattie failurepants?
But true, I know nothing about nutrition, other than that a Bloody Mary and a bong rip are the ideal breakfast.
I guess I am an idiot. Thanks, aleph1! Learned something new today. Now I'm going to go back out and kill my last few braincells.

It will get you thinking about why you need to eat fat, which is what Aleph is referencing. Your post is about your own personal issues, which are obviously very, very close to you. I won't continue this discussion on SFist, but I do hope that you read a little bit about Weston Price and see where Aleph is coming from.
Yes, we all know we need to eat fat. The post is about a freaking burger joint. Lean meat or not, when you pair it with cheese, mayo, avocado, french fries, etc. you got loads of fat.
