Cheapest Burgers: Dick's
FA Rating: F+++
Price: $--
I was with the groom-to-be's on the night of his bachelor party, and he decided that what he wanted for dinner was Dick's (several Seattle-area locations).
"Do you really want a burger and fries right now?" I asked. "Don't you have to save room for alcohol?"
"There's always room for Dick's," said the groom.
Sorry about the picture. I was in a car at night in a bachelor party. Anyway the burger was like when McDonald's didn't suck when you were a kid. Not as good as Shake Shack or Tasty Burger, but old school cheap and scrumptious. I could eat a bag of Dick's right now.
The fries were salty and more like potatoes than most anywhere else (they are plainly stated to be 100% real potatoes, after all). Some real potato fries are too thick, but these were the perfect medium thickness and medium-high saltiness. If only, in addition to ketchup and tartar sauce (which can both be purchased for a nickel), they had some ranch or other creamy dipping options. Oh well, remember to bring your own!
"Nothin' like cheap Dick," said the groom.
"I've lost two fries down my cleavage," said my sister's wife.

| I had known nothing about this Seattle chain but was quickly astonished by their apparent ability to maintain 90's era fast food prices. Their burgers range in price from $1.25-$2.70. Holy shit. |

| And here's a good picture for not seeing the groom's face but seeing these two weirdos/obvious drug users who loved dancing with him/stripping later on at Wildrose. |
