Washington Burger Tour 2006

A couple of guys up in Seattle had an argument about what the best local burger was. Unable to come to a consensus, they devoted an entire week to scouring the area and sampling burgers. Since 2003, when they started, they have expanded their search area to all of Washington State and added four more friends to their tasting panel. It may not be scientific - not that tasting a burger can really ever be completely objective - but it is thorough. The Seattle PI has a day-by-day account of this year's tasting tour. They started off with the 10-lb. Tsunami Burger at the Corral Drive-In and ate at one classic burger joint on each subsequent day. This year's winner was the Chuck Wagon Drive-In in Mount Vernon, WA. But even though we now know the winner, as with most food related endeavors, getting there is half the fun, so take a minute to peruse the whole story, especially if you're in the Pacific Northwest.
