k&k recommend - burgers

During our time here in Seattle, we have gotten to know some places quite well and try to frequent them as much as possible. So, I thought I would start some sort of guide of all our favorites in case you ever make it up to the Emerald City.

I'll start off with burger joints. These types of places are one of our favorite and cheapest way to eat out on Friday Night Date Nites. These two places are good in different ways, which will be explained below.

Dick's Drive In.

Not only is it up the street, it is cheap! Dick keeps his prices low by his awesome execution of economics and price-structure model. Kalin and I usually go get our usual, go back to the car and just watch this place in action. Everyone working there is utilizing their time to the fullest and when the crowd dies down, they close down and start cleaning. It is absolutely amazing to watch. The place is spotless. Dick also offers some benefits to all his employees that are hard to beat. Full-time and part-time both receive either some sort of tuition stipend or day-care coverage. They are fully benefited for health insurance. And they start them off at a competitive rate. He is doing something right--this place is going to be around for awhile with their simple, yet effective business model.

Red Mill Burger

Red Mill is the place to go for a hearty burger, delicious fries and a shake (in many flavors). They have a wide variety of burgers, chicken burgers, bean burgers and they are all packed with lots of flavor. The walls are lined with funny old clocks from soda pop companies that no longer exist and a large painting of a red mill. There is also a note on the wall from a little kid saying that when they move, they'll be sad because there is not a Red Mill close. I'll feel their pain, soon.

So, those are our two burger joints we frequent when we can and they never let us down.
