Maillards makes a convincing case for crispy beef and pickles before your morning cup of coffee. Their smashburger—available starting at 9am at the Outer Sunset Farmers Market—is a citywide treasure. The patties are pressed so thin they could be classified as chips, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t also tender and juicy. Each burger is a gooey vision loaded with melty American cheese, pickles, house sauce, and caramelized shallots. Well-seasoned fries round out the whole meal. These things do sell out, so try to get there early. And if you'd rather eat your burger for dinner, they also pop up at Heritage Restaurant & Bar in the Richmond on Tuesday evenings.
