For many a year Kirk's was the Bay Area's Best Burger. Is it still in business?
(first location was California Avenue in Palo Alto, then they opened a couple more, don't remember exactly where)
Seems to have moved, if
http://kirks-steakburgers.com/ is the right Kirk's. I thought I'd tried them, but the place I'm thinking off was near University not on California, and they were definitely not already in Town and Country back when I worked next to there.
I tend to avoid Palo Alto, but if I have to be down there for something else, I'll give them a try.
p.s. mid-Peninsula starts at Redwood City and goes south. That's my home territory.
As tempted as I am to engage in an argument about what constitutes "upper" "mid-/middle" and "lower" Peninsula around here, definitions vary and I'll simply say that having spent pretty much the last decade around here (Foster City and San Mateo, I've never seen anyone refer to the area as "upper peninsula" or if giving an upper/middle/lower qualifier anything other than "mid-peninsula"
And mind, my point was not that the Burlingame-San Carlos chunk is all of the mid-Peninsula -- since while we differ on the direction the one thing we seem to agree on is that Redwood City is part of it, and while I'm down there for the movie theater a fair bit RWC is a big place (and changed a lot since I worked there in 1999-2001) and I've not tried the restaurants nearly as extensively as nearer in to San Mateo.
