    The best place WAS Hot & Hunky. After that Bill's Place. But one went out of the business, and the other downhill after it changed hands. Hamburger Mary's was good too. They're all gone now. Beep's looks good. Maybe I'll try it out.

Also, after a painfully long wait that was worth it - Hamburger Haven FINALLY reopened earlier this year!

    It's funny, I know people who declare you're Not A Real San Franciscan if you drive a car yet here is SF born and raised Joey with the specific vintage joys of a drive up burger in an underrated neighborhood. Not that times haven't changed. A counter example was the McDonalds at Haight & Stanyan, a prime location at the entrance to GGP, whose huge parking lot sat empty for almost 20 years because hardly anyone drives here for a Big Mac. It was finally demolished by popular demand and now sits empty while competing neighborhood groups try to veto everything, a tradition that certainly does mark Real San Franciscans.

    Joey, you were sorely missed. Thanks for bringing attention to Beeps. I’ve been going there since the 1960s. Also, on a slightly embarrassing note, the nearby McDonalds was my first…and The Gap store down Ocean Ave. (long closed) was the original store that started the chain.

    When I hear "Mel's" I think "overpriced."
    When I hear "Tony's Cable Car Restaurant" I think of the shakes and how crappy their hot dogs are.
    When I hear "Whiz" I think there's one I haven't tried yet.
    When I hear "Beeps" I think how does McDonalds compete when Beeps is just a couple blocks away?

    Missed these videos, needed my SF fix since I have been feeling homesick lately too. Love the editing as always and not only was it about drive-ins (moment of silence for some of the dearly departed burger joints--Zim's/Tokyo Stop), but you also mention parts of SF not many non-locals would know about. Loved seeing all the shots of the neighborhood and what is true to SF. I think to really know SF, it's not the tourists spots but the inner city spots that show the real character that OG/natives know (even the not so pretty ones!). Have not been back for over 20 years now and I hear so many bad things than good things nowadays so it's really nice to see your videos. Thank you and I wished more people would subscribe!!!! xx

    Amazing Video Joey, Beeps is my Personal Favorite but you forgot one quintessential drive-in in the city that 90% of these list tend to ignore, B&Js ¼lb Burger on 3rd St & Paul. Not your fault though, the Bayview tends to be over looked. But do yourself a favor and give em a try. You won't be disappointed.

    That liberating space is the result of either owning the property or having a landlord who is content with the status quo. In the case of Mel's on Geary Street, the property owner has already indicated that the building will be demolished and replaced with a mid-rise condo building when the current lease expires.

I would love to have Dim Sum with you and your wife (I promise I am not a phycho and you can invite others to make sure I am not your most basic feat). If you are interested, we could talk about an ex-SF'er and I would be happy to pick up the Dim Sum tab. If you would be interested to meet an older SF'r and interview him - let me know. I will be in SF for 3 weeks in November. If you are not intrested - that is totally cool with me. But I love your videos and just wanted to suggest. I hope you are doing well. I am not sure if you can contact me through your channel - or if I must also send my e-mail address. I hope you - your wife - and your pigeons are all well. Ron in Germany
