A note on the words: grass-fed means cattle raised on pasture rather than grain. A brioche bun is enriched with butter and egg. Yoshoku, the category Tabelog files this shop under, means Japanese-style Western food. Prices are in US dollars and are as they stood at the time of the visit.

Lark Creek Grill on Tabelog (in Japanese) — Tabelog has no English pages for restaurants outside Japan, so this listing is in Japanese. Opening hours and payment details are kept up to date there, not here.
Hello, this is Hangover Meshi. A business trip to America for the first time in a year! So it is off to Las Vegas again, but this time connecting through San Francisco International Airport! I suppose I was on the plane for about nine hours. Well, by the second time one is fairly used to it. There is a transit of about three hours in San Francisco, so I was drifting about thinking I might have a beer and something to eat — and there is a rather nice restaurant right there in the airport! The name: “Lark Creek Grill.” There seemed to be seats free, so in I went.
FULL BREAKFAST $17.95
BREAKFAST SANDWICH $16.95
SMOKED SALMON PLATE $19.95
MEAT SCRAMBLE $18.95
GRASS-FED BURGER $19.95
BEYOND BURGER $18.95 (vg)
The grass-fed burger is a classic burger of lettuce, tomato, onion and lemon garlic aioli in a brioche bun. This costs about 3,000 yen lol
Incidentally, the extra toppings ($3.00 each) seem to be
cheddar / Swiss / blue cheese / bacon / mushrooms / avocado.
The other burger is the Beyond Burger. This is apparently a vegan item.
Well, if you have only just landed in America then a burger is the thing! So
I went for the classic grass-fed beef burger.
I ordered a drink, and sure enough they asked for ID lol They will not take me for an adult lol
After a while, the burger arrives!
Ta-daa! It looks good!
It is an American burger, but it is not excessively large — just about right.
The patty is grilled until fragrant, the meat is firm and it is delicious! The vegetables are very fresh.
On the side, fries with a dipping sauce.
This dipping sauce is good in its own right, and when I took the burger apart and put a little inside, it was extremely good!
Over here, does onion mean red onion?
Overall it is a classic gourmet burger and there is a steadiness to it! And it fills you right up!
So: I ate a home-country burger to mark my arrival in America, and American burgers really are delicious! Gourmet burgers, or rather properly made burgers, have been arriving in Japan a fair amount lately! It is rather good that a burger from an ordinary place like this, inside an airport, should be this good! Right, I shall eat plenty in America too!

Tabelog lunch rating ★★★☆☆ 3.5
I ate here and paid for it myself. Nothing on this site is a comped meal.
One more for the road?
