Need a good excuse to eat out? Mark your calendars: One week from today, April 24, is the 15th annual Dining Out for Life. Hosted by the Lifelong AIDS Alliance, 30% of your meal cost goes back to the organization, which provides a wide variety of services to people in the Puget Sound who are living with HIV/AIDS, including fresh meals and groceries from the Chicken Soup Brigade, housing, insurance, and education/prevention programs.

There's an article bemoaning our pending loss of Daly's Drive-In in Eastlake in the Post Intelligencer today (with accompanying blog item--probably both inspired by a slightly previous blog item from the Stranger) headlined "Popular drive-in on way out." The thing is, Daly's isn't popular. It should be, and it was, but it isn't.

Except for a four year stint in Chicago our friend Mike has lived in Seattle his entire life. During that time he has come to some well reasoned conclusions about fast food in this city. He shared them with us, and now we will share them with you:

Whenever Seattlest visits Milwaukee, we make a point of stopping by Kopp's Frozen Custard for a Fudge Delight sundae. If we still lived there, we'd likely weigh 400 lbs. by now, because frozen custard is one of the most perfect desserts ever churned by human beings.

Red Mill closed early one night last October so the staff could attend the Rolling Stones concert, and they’ll close early again on Super Sunday so the staff can watch the Stones’ halftime show (and the Seahawks). This was called to our attention by Red Mill’s recent the Panthers game), an amusingly awesome conflation of the Stones and Seahawks logos...

Both Red Mill locations are closing early on Sunday, and that can mean only one thing -- the Rolling Stones are back in town.

Seattle is slathered with great local burger chains, what with Dick’s, Kidd Valley, and Red Mill, but our favorite is the mighty Burgermaster -- particularly the one just east of (but worlds away from) upscale University Village. This underrated institution has mastered the burger since it opened as a drive-in in 1953, and later, expanding into an eat-in restaurant. But why no link? The ‘Master is apparently too busy serving up consistently decent, no-frills fare to bother posting its own web site. That’s fine with us.

Oh yes, it's that time again. The time to create fake controversy through a contrived contest that delivers nothing but bragging rights.

Never let it be said that Seattlest isn't a tad bit obsessive. The lengths we are now going to in order to find the best cheeseburger in Seattle is leading us into areas of the city some might say are better left undiscovered.
