The Craftsman

The Craftsman, on E. Lake Street a few blocks from the River, is an outstanding restaurant - www.craftsmanrestaurant.com.  Replaced my beloved Molly Quinn's but it's great.  Interior has wood Mission feel, cool bar and chef focuses on local ingredients (he knows where the beef comes from).  Not a place you'd think to go for a burger, but I'd heard rumors.  Only had one so far but it was excellent: bacon, white cheddar and .... harissa - a North African hot sauce (but not too hot).  Awesome.  Fries also good.  And, beer, interesting selection on tap, including Bell's.   Burger was worth the trip (though I am just on other side of river).
