The Great Best Burger Quest

Edited 9/3/07

The Rating System

Frankly, we've been making it up as we go along. After the first several ratings, we discovered we had a "grade inflation" problem, and everything was being rated too high. We're now in the process of re-grading everything.

The List

Wimsey and Charlie came up with:

Elysian

Deluxe

Red Mill

The Ram

Suggestions received today from interested parties:

Daly's (two different people suggested this one)
2713 Eastlake Ave E
Seattle, WA 98102
(206) 322-1918

Mrs. Beesley's - near Centralia (road trip!)
393 Cowlitz Ridge Rd
Toledo, WA 98591
(360) 864-4866

Charlie says: If we're going to do Centralia, let's do
Burgerville
818 Harrison Avenue
Centralia, WA 98531
360-736-5212

5802 24th Ave NW
Seattle, WA 98107
(206) 782-2966

22 Doors

1200 Bistro

12th & Pike

Attic Alehouse and Eatery

35th Street Bistro
709 N. 35th St., Fremont
206-547-9850,
Kobe beef burger

Hilltop Ale House.

Palace Kitchen is the number one favorite. The one that all others are graded against.

Two Bells - second person said Two Bells has my favorite burger in town (even though I'm not always wild about the crusty bread it's served on). Plus, beer!

Maple Leaf Grill are the next closest.

Collins Pub.

Zesto's in Ballard, 65st and 15th (?).
They have a good burger at a decent price.

Latona Pub in Wallingford has the BEST burger I've had in Seattle. It is served on an Essential Bakery bun and you can request caramelized onions for free.

I'm sure there will be more...

The best burgers are made with the ground beef from Petosa's grocery store in Edmonds. The beef tastes like hamburgers I remember from my childhood.

Either we'll have to find a restaurant that uses Petosa's beef, or I'll have to host a cookout for the Best Burger Quest team.
