Fuck Shake Shack with a rusty conical cheese grater. Why? The second and last time I went there, the fries were room temp. I complained, got the attitudinal shrug, and another serving of fucking room temp fries. It's hard.section8 said:Uneeda, Shake Shack, John Howie

Red Mill is crap. Their thin, frozen patties look and taste like they're straight from the freezer isle.YellowSnow said:
I consider myself as good of burger as the next man. I thought it was fucking perfect in every way. Way better than any burger I've ever had at Red Mill or Rain City. Red Mill doesn't use iceberg lettuce which is a no go for me. Rain City is fine, but nothing special.BennyBeaver said:Actually, I've been there once and thought it was good, if not overpriced.
When going for burgers, the choice is usually dictated by the Glovelets.
Red Mill seems to be their favorite, Rain City is next. Dicks is always in the rotation for a quick bite.
Uneeda is really good, but that is usually driven by the adults.
Little Big Burger is great, best fries. -
Shake Shack has trash fries that might as well come out of the microwave. But best burger out there hands down.BennyBeaver said:

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.YellowSnow said:Red Mill doesn't use iceberg lettuce which is a no go for me.
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.

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.ThomasFremont said:I tried Great State and immediately wished I’d just gone to Dick’s and spent the $20 I saved on anything else.
