  What's the best new burger place?

  0 0 Seattle had something of a burger renaissance last year. Here are a few of the places that I’ve tried, ranked from worst to best. 1) The Counter: The Counter has locally sourced, unusually high-quality ingredients for a chain. I visited the one in Ballard, where I was disappointed by the fact my burger wasn’t cooked the way I wanted it. Also, the fried stuff was no good (I got a sampler). Burger joints should have good fries. Grade: C. 2) Built Burger: I think they are closed now, but Built Burger had a cool idea: Change the patty instead of piling more stuff on the patty. I had a chorizo burger, which is exactly as sounds- chorizo blended with beef in a patty. Similarly, they mixed up bacon burgers, and so on. They had great buns, the food was presented well, and I really liked them. But yeah… They’re closed now. (Technically, the sign on their storefront says they are “on pause,” but word is the owners have moved out of state.) It was a little spendy. Grade: B. 3) Lunchbox Laboratory: I never went to the original in Ballard, but the South Lake Union location has good décor and awesome food. The burgers are cooked perfectly, the sheer volume of toppings is obscene (I think my bacon cheeseburger had more bacon than burger), and the tatertots, fries, and shakes are awesome. But they are also a little spendy. Grade: B. 4) Uneeda Burger: In upper Fremont, Uneeda Burger hits the sweet spot by having kickass ideas for new burgers, quality ingredients (with an option for locally-sourced beef), and a slightly more affordable price point. The burger I usually get there is about $9; at Lunchbox Lab, the equivalent burger is $14. I like the unpretentious feel of the place, too. You order at the counter, sit at picnic tables, and chow down. The onion rings and fries are perfect. Grade: A. Two places I want to try but haven’t hit yet: 1) Li'l Woody’s in Cap Hill. I hear they have good stuff, and they are open late. 2) Katsu Burger in Georgetown: A Japanese-fusion burger joint. They deep-fry their burgers in tempura batter. I suspect I am going to like it. kitschnsync answered in Eating Out 24 days ago Answer, comment & read 3 more answers »

  Little Red Day Spa - Couples Massage Questions

  4 0 I've been to events at the Little Red Day Spa, and to say that the owner, staff, and clientele are sex-positive is a gigantic understatement. Be discreet and respectful. kitschnsync answered in Sex about 1 month ago Answer, comment & read 2 more answers »

  Does anyone have experience getting a coat re-lined?

  0 0 Sure. I have a leather jacket which I had re-lined and re-pocketed. I can't remember exactly how much I paid, but I think it was about $40 or $50 bucks- totally worth it. I went to Adam Tailor, who runs a one-man shop on Jackson in Pioneer Square. He does good work for very reasonable prices, which also makes him very popular. Don't expect a two-day turnaround. kitschnsync answered in Clothes Clean/Fix about 1 month ago Answer, comment & read 2 more answers »

  1 0 The People's Pub has fried pickles. In fact, their entire happy hour menu is pretty kickass. kitschnsync commented 2 months ago

  What's the best bicycling rain jacket for all-year commuting in Seattle?

  0 0 Since you plan to use it for cycling, I'd recommend a reflective jacket or a jacket with reflective piping. Illuminite makes a really cool reflective fabric which is breathable and comes with DWR coating. It might not serve in a torrential downpour, but would do the trick with most Seattle conditions.

  My friend is convinced that public pools are filled with sweaty man ball juice and other nefarious things. Is there any truth to this?

  7 0 Kristen, the tone of your question implies a lack of respect for the long, hard hours of ball juicing that are put in by city employees to provide you with your piscine pleasures. Please try to be more considerate of the ball juicers. kitschnsync answered in Other - Sport & Rec. 2 months ago Answer, comment & read 7 more answers »

  Can you help build a better tongue twister?

  0 0 "I'm a sheet slitter. I slit sheets. I'm the best damn sheet slitter to ever slit a sheet." Try saying that fast. Same sounds, far more hilarious results. kitschnsync answered in Whatever 3 months ago Answer, comment & read 3 more answers »

  What are you going to be on Halloween? :)

  3 0 I'm going as a goth viking. Visigoth. Get it? I know, I know... Weak sauce. I tossed the idea out to my girlfriend, never guessing that she would actually go for it. It's turning out better than I expected, though. kitschnsync answered in Halloween 3 months ago Answer, comment & read 14 more answers »
