Burger Quest #2 - XXX ROOT BEER


the burger was bigger than Toshi's head

This place is famous for its oversized signature burgers and frosted root beers. This burger joint actually did not make it to the top 13 places in Seattle Metropolitan. But we decided to try it because it was sort of on the way back from Mount Rainier to Seattle. After a hard day's hike, some root beer and massive burger sound good so we went for it.

Participants
Toshi, Tim, and Mrinal

Verdict
We thought the diner was nice; it looked like a very classic American diner from the 60's almost. There are tons to be explore on the walls and whatnot. They even have a jukebox (I am saying it as if it was rare). So Toshi and I did not chicken out like little Nancy's so both ordered the "the famous and incredible XXX burger" which was incredible and famous for its size I would imagine. It was a whole good Frisbee size of burger which seemed quite appealing in the beginning. But after eating half of it, you'd find yourself battling with the grease that tries to find ways through your fingers and things are crumbling due to gravity. The root beer though, is amazing with the pre-iced mug. It was a cold day when we went though, I could imagine myself enjoying one of these babies on a hot sunny day in the middle of August, or even considering celebrating my birthday (in August) here and making people order this giant just to see the look on their faces.

Recommendation
Get the root beer!
