The veggies are fresh - yet, perhaps, too abundant. It’s stellar.ĭoing these burger reviews allowed me to think critically about burgers, and eating this burger critically (not emotionally) for the first time allowed me to observe that the beef patties are fresh, and cooked a perfect “medium.” The bun (potato? brioche?) is toasted, but not dry. You can choose to modify the buffalo burger with what Double Decker calls “inferno sauce” - basically, really spicy buffalo sauce. This time around, I ordered my usual: the Buffalo Burger, a normal cheeseburger that comes slathered in buffalo sauce. Double Decker has always struck that nigh-impossible balance. Most importantly, I found love at Double Decker - when no love could be found in a human being.Īs our journey has proved so far, finding a simply good hamburger - a perfect balance between fast and gourmet - is hard. I’ve cried at Double Decker, Mark, and I’ve mused about love at Double Decker.

It has been my go-to spot after long, grueling days at work - on lonely Friday nights when all seems lost and only a juicy burger consoles. I’ve been going to the Double Decker on 24th since it opened in 2018. Our beloved reader, Adam, deserves some credit for the recommendation - but, really, double the credit? An encouraging sign for the upcoming season. If not a home run, Double Decker hit a solid double. The garlic was more than enough, but not too much. They withstood the long GrubHub trauma and, though cooler, they didn’t lose their character. I applaud Double Decker for its garlic fries. Whatever sweetness it displayed seemed to compliment and highlight the meat and cheese, rather than detract, which a brioche bun can do on occasion. It was a bun that did not mush into the meat, but held its own throughout our encounter. The onions were strong, as were the pickles.Įven the bun made an impression, visually as well as tastefully.

The tomato slice had not gone mealy and, though it was probably grown in a warehouse, it was unmistakably a tomato. But it worked, adding to the visual and tactile dimensions of the sandwich.Īs for lettuce, tomato, onions and pickles – the freshest so far. I’m not sure what the advantage of two different cheeses are, especially if one is Swiss. The meat was still warmish, but juicy, not greasy, with a grass-fed taste of beef. I specified medium-rare, assuming I would get medium. It comes with two generous patties, Swiss and cheddar cheese, and a toasted brioche bun. GrubHub took more than 40 minutes from pickup on one side of the Mission to drop off on the other, giving the food ample time to cool off. The bus was part of San Francisco Deluxe Sightseeing Tours.Ī video from the Citizen app shows the bus in flames, and the large traffic backup forming.This past Saturday night (or was it Friday?) was windy and cold. This was one of the big, red, double-decker buses that are often seen around San Francisco and are banned in some neighborhoods like Alamo Square as a nuisance, with the 'Hop on Hop Off' logo on the side.

No one was injured in the fire, and the bus had no passengers at the time, but CHP was curious as to why the driver did not remain at the scene until someone arrived.Īs KTVU reports, the owner of the tour bus company, Maneet Sohal, says the driver was 'completely safe' and had just decided to walk back to the tow yard about a half mile away. Northbound lanes were also temporarily blocked by a CHP vehicle while the smoke was still heavy across the roadway. As KRON4 reports, the incident caused a serious traffic backup on southbound 101, first as flames were being extinguished, and then as two of the four lanes of the freeway were blocked. The fire was reported near the Grand Avenue exit in South San Francisco around 7:30 p.m. A double-decker tour bus went up in flames Wednesday night, apparently while traveling south on 101 out of the city, and when CHP arrived on the scene the driver was nowhere to be found.
