Spruce An affordable bar bite at the classy Pac Heights joint

Since you need to melt down gold bullion to eat on the restaurant side, we opted to add the more-affordable-yet-still-spectacular Spruce bar burger to our Favorite Five due not only to its well-seasoned, in-house ground Niman Ranch meat, herbed caper aioli, housemade pickles, and slightly buttered English muffin-esque bun, but also because it comes with a side of fries done up in duck fat, which just happens to be the name of a post-college spinoff of DuckTales, in which Huey and Duey go on to successful careers in financial consulting, while Louie remains overweight, jobless, and stuck at the bottom of Scrooge's money pit.
