Burger Bar at Macy’s Union Square in San Francisco

Burger Bar on the sixth floor of Macy’s Union Square in San Francisco overlooks bustling Union Square and caters to tourists and locals alike with inventive takes on classic American foods created by local celebrity chef, Hubert Keller. Keller is known to millions through his many cookbooks and imaginative French cuisine.

The Chef’s Burgers section features eight unconventional concoctions, including the World’s Hottest Burger, made of black angus stuffed with Burger Bar’s World’s hottest Burger Sauce and both habanero and jalapeno peppers (it’s rated at 5,000,000 Scoville Units—a measurement of spicy heat); the chef’s namesake Hubert Keller Burger, made with buffalo meat and blue cheese; and the Rossini burger, made with Kobe style wagyu beef, fois gras and shaved black truffles.

Guests can also customize their burger by selecting from a list of eight different of proteins and a wide range of toppings, from chili and fried egg to various cheeses, vegetables and sauces. Starters, salads, various sides and fish & chips and hotdogs are also available.

But Keller’s Burger Bar offerings extend well beyond burgers and sides. The eatery is also renowned for mouthwatering items that satisfy your sweet tooth—both traditional treats and wholly unconventional ones, such as dessert-style burgers (Sweet Burgers) and alcoholic “Adult Milkshakes,” with tempting names like Red Velvet and Horchata Spice.  Customers can also build their own milkshake—the combinations are endless considering the extent of Burger Bar’s list of toppings, liquor, fruits and sauces.

The irresistible Chocolate Burger sandwiches Nutella mousse, passion fruit, fresh strawberries and kiwi between two warm donut halves, and the Creamy Cheese Cake Burger stacks cheese cake, carmelized pineapple and fresh strawberries between the donut halves.

Marc Burger at Macy’s State Street in Chicago and Macy’s South Coast Plaza Home Store, Costa Mesa, CA

When Chef Marc Samuelsson was growing up in Sweden, a burger was a special treat. Today, he regards burgers as the ultimate comfort food-- something that should be prepped with the same concern for quality and detail as the fine dining dishes he is known for. At Marc Burger, his namesake restaurant located at Macy’s on State Street in Chicago and Macy’s South Coast Plaza Home Store, the chef uses only top-notch ingredients sourced from local artisanal farms and ranches.

The menu includes eight meat burgers, ranging from a Smoky BBQ Burger to a Pesto Burger, all garnished with pickles made with recipes handed down by the chef’s grandmother and distinctive homemade condiments, including spicy ketchup, steak sauce and BBQ sauce. Beef burgers are made with grass-fed, hormone-free Angus beef. Delicious non-meat options include a Grilled Fish Sandwich made with miso soy-marinated and citrus-glazed Mahi-Mahi; a piri piri-marinated Chicken Breast Sandwich and a Portobello Sandwich.

Alluring sides, such as Garlic and Cracked-Pepper Fries and custard milkshakes made with Haagen Dazs ice cream, flesh out the Marc Burger menu. The restaurant also features weekly specials that celebrate America’s diverse culinary traditions.
