Red Mill doesn't use iceberg lettuce which is a no go for me.
I have a rule with my food: It must contain food and be worth the hassle. Iceberg lettuce doesn't and isn't, so all it adds to a burger is heightened odds of making a mess. Spinach, avocado, sauteed mushrooms and/or onions are all acceptable options. Worth the inevitable feeling like you need to take a shower after eating because you're up to your elbows in burger gore.
Also, bun makes a huge difference. Gimme a garlic rosemary ciabatta toasted with butter to make it perfect.
Oh, and cut the hamburger 60/40 with mild sausage. Mmmmmmm.
Good god man! What the fuck are you talking about? You don't buy a burger based on food value of the lettuce. Iceberg has crunch and great flavor for a burger. I eat spinach and avocado all the time. Neither should never go near a hamburger.

My go-tos are either cheddar, tomato, spinach, avocado, and Gulden's brown mustard or sauteed mushrooms and onions, preferably with provolone. I pick up a side of beef and a whole pig every year, so have plenty of sausage handy to mix into the patties (it's why they call them "ham" burgers--duh!...). Usually go two pounds beef to one pound pork, 1/2 pound patties. Butter and garlic salt on the buns and toast on the grill. Never had any complaints.

I make a mean meat loaf that is 50/50 beef and pork.
Well, I have a new fave. Great State Burger kicks to shit out of any other hamburger I've had in Seattle. I went to the one across the street from Varlamos in Laurelhurst.

Until you’ve had a double cheese, pickle, onion with hot mustard, banana cream pie and a water glass of Mountain Dew alongside John Elway, Dennis Erickson, Chris Tormey or Jake Plummer at Hudson’s in Coeur d Alene ID, you can just STFU with your wannabe burger tales.

Well, I have no fucking clue about Seattle area burgers ... but I do have to mention that Wisconsin burger somewhere around Gonzaga is a decent burger place.
I tried Great State and immediately wished I’d just gone to Dick’s and spent the $20 I saved on anything else. Overpriced and underwhelming. To be fair they had just opened, so maybe I should give them another chance next time I go to Burke Gilman Brewery.
JaK’s actually makes a pretty good burger.
Speaking of Varlamos, when was the last time anyone went there? I think it’s been like 25 years for me. But it was definitely the hot spot growing up.

I still love Varlamos. We take the fam there all the time. It was my first meal out as a college student at UW.

Fuck off. Spinach? JFC. Cuck.
But if you’re man and not a chuck, all you need are shitty hot dogs and a flask of whiskey.
Only Kidd valley I had was this year at the Cal game. At about 10:00pm I sobered up and there was no line. It was a massive mistake
I wonder if the owners wife is still hot.
