Fletcher’s Burgers
312 Pearl Pkwy., facebook.com/fletchershamburgers
Sergio Remolina is perhaps the freshest face in the batch of restaurateurs to join the Food Hall, but his resume is equally impressive. Remolina left his position with the CIA to open Fletcher's, a casual joint that aims to deliver burgers made with quality ingredients. Brioche buns will be shipped in from Tribeca Ovens in New Jersey, chicken will come from Red Bird Farms and 100 percent grass-fed beef will be used for this endeavor. Expect three burgers, one crispy chicken sandwich, a hot dog and grilled cheese for the kiddos.

Signature
6401 La Cantera Pkwy., (210) 247-0176, destinationhotels.com/signature-restaurant
Andrew Weissman, no stranger to high-end culinary concepts, steadfastly denies that Signature, his spare-no-expense new restaurant on the flanks of La Cantera’s golf greens (the building itself a former golf “academy”), is a fine-dining establishment. There are no tablecloths on the gleaming, recycled-wood tabletops, he asserts; the prices are below those of most such restaurants (tellingly true when compared to high-end steakhouses); and, it should be noted that the sommelier (maybe we should just call him the wine guy) may be suited but he is also tieless. Oh, and there’s a burger, albeit Wagyu, on the menu.
