Food review: Mini Kobe beef burgers
Restaurant: Harry's Bar (San Francisco)
Food description: Three mini Kobe beef burgers with swiss cheese and caramelized red onions, side order of white truffle french fries with parmesan ranch dip
Food rating: 7 out of 10
Times ordered: 1
Like Burgermeister, Harry's Bar claims to have one of the best burgers in the city, but I know San Francisco can do better. Not to say that they're both not great, just not the best. After trying the mini Kobe beef burgers, they didn't disappoint, but lacked the flavor and juiciness that I look for in a good burger. The texture of the beef proved it was high quality stuff, but sorry, I don't think it was even 50% Kobe beef or it would have cost more than $12. I ordered the burger medium-rare because I hate dried out burgers, but it came out just barely pink (I'm assuming they accidentally overcooked it or they have no clue what medium-rare means). I also don't know why they used red onions and prefer yellow caramelized onions on burgers. The tomato was just whatever and didn't have much flavor. Overall, I probably wouldn't order this again but would be up for trying the full size Kobe burger next time. One thing you should definitely try are the white truffle french fries (you can barely see them behind the burger. It didn't say on the menu that the mini burgers came w/fries (but they did), so we ordered a separate basket of the specialty fries, which were sprinkled with white truffle salt and served with parmesan ranch dip. I ended up liking them better than the burgers!
