The hunt is over. We’ve found the best burgers in Seattle, hope you love them… all 20 of them. These are in no particular order, just 20 of our favorite juicy, creative burgers that hit the spot. We probably missed some of your favorites, so if we did just put them in the comments below so others can discover them too.
So, what makes the perfect burger? Could it be the type of bun you use, the type of beef you grind up, the add-on ingredients that are used, the seasoning, the sauce, the cheese, well, we say all of them… just please make sure the meat is fresh enough to cook medium rare. We want that burger to scream hallelujah after taking that first bite as the juices drip down to your hands.
