Red Mill Burgers

Red Mill. Located in the Phinney Ridge neighborhood.

Today, Zack and I were in Seattle. What better time would there be to stop at Red Mill? I got the chicken club burger and Zack got the bacon deluxe with supposedly, the greatest onion rings ever. I'm not a huge onion ring fan, but Zack is, so that is a big deal. And I have to say, even I (the not so big of an onion ring fan) think they are alright. ;) Anyways, the greatest thing about the chicken club burger is the basil mayo. Delicious. And the bacon involved is black pepper bacon, which is incredible. And I'm salivating.

As Zack and I are sitting on bar stools mauling our burgers, I say (with a huge mouth full), "this is the greatest chicken burger I have ever had." I have been to Red Mill twice, and I recall saying the exact same thing last time I was there. Zack has been to Red Mill three times, and he confirmed that every time he has been there he has thought "this is the greatest burger I have ever had." Now we all know that we have caught ourselves saying "this is the greatest (fill in the blank here)" numerous times about numerous foods. But was it, really? Or were you just really hungry at that moment? Did the place just feel super cozy and you were feeling the love you've been looking for? Was it just exactly what you were craving? Was it just the amusing group of friends you were sharing the moment with? Maybe it was one of those things, but was it really the best? Ever?

We say, probably not. For something to truly be the greatest ever it has to be the best on numerous occasions during which you are in different situations. Whether you're craving it or not, whether you just aced the interview or got "let go," whether you are by yourself or with your friends, whether you're having a good hair day or bad hair day....you get the picture. According to this theory, it can be said that Red Mill more than likely has the greatest burgers ever. Period. (Plus it helps that they've been mentioned on the Food Network and in magazines and such other jazz. You know how it is.)
