Synopsis
The original Hippopotamus Hamburger was a San Francisco restaurant on Van Ness Avenue in the 1950s and 1960s located in a large building that formerly housed a grocery store. The Hippo specialized in hamburgers – especially large hamburgers. This book, published in 1969, is full of recipes from San Francisco’s Hippopotamus Hamburger Restaurant. This place was serious about creative hamburgers — you’ll find such recipes as The Cannibalburger (aka Steak Tartare), The Stanfordburger, The Kyotoburger, and The Bourbonburger in the book. Also, nearly every page is accompanied by a cute, clever illustration from artist Wolo von Trutzschler, the restaurant’s signature artist. The Hippo Cook Book is a treasure from the past, full of the recipes that made the Hippo famous.
