1,500 people gathered at Qwest Field last night to say goodbye to Ed McMichael, the Tuba Man. McMichael died November 3, after a robbery and beating on October 25. (Three of the five attackers have been found and charged.)

We here at Seattlest admit to being a tad anal. Now that we have four winners of the past Search for the Best Cheeseburger, we can now move on and compare these winners against one another, with the ultimate goal of finding the one burger from which all others will be judged. (Apparently not only are we anal, but we're also huge fans of run-on sentences.)

Seattlest isn't much for restaurant reviews. However, we love knowing where to get a really good burger, or when one can get a kickin' slice.
