My name is Jered. Professionally, I am a real estate appraiser in beautiful Snohomish County, Washington. If you were to catch me on the road between appointments, I'd likely be at a random greasy burger joint that looks like a time capsule from some 50's movie. Burgers are my favorite meal, so I figured, why not apply my knowledge of valuation sorcery to the iconic sandwich of American culture, THE BURGER? What makes me qualified to do this? Well, I'm vocationally trained to be unbiased and analyze market data to arrive at supportable conclusions. But more importantly, I will eat any food! Mushrooms, pickles, runny eggs, tomatoes, onions, whatever! If you have it on your menu, I'm going to try it.
I use a highly sophisticated system to rank each burger I encounter. The system is based on a 20 point, 4 category grouping. Up to 5 points can be awarded for the following categories; 1. Bun (or vessel)
2. Meat
3. Toppings
4. Sauce/s
The aggregate of a burger's total points determines which trophy is awarded. If a burger's total score ranges from 4-8, it's a Bronze (Think most fast food burgers you encounter). 9-12 earns a Silver, 13-16 a Gold and 17-20 a Platinum. The world is filled with Bronze and Silver burgers, but if you think you've had a Gold or Platinum burger please send me a message and tell me where that unicorn is!
I hunt the entire region of King, Snohomish and Skagit counties of Washington regularly. Due to my profession, I am constantly driving to different towns and cities, and I bet you can guess what my go to lunch is by now. Got a favorite place in your neck of the woods? Why not share it with me? I also keep a list of places to hit up if I am ever in the area. So even if you are not in my primary hunting grounds, send me a message and I will add it to my list. Who knows, maybe it will be my next review!
WHY NOT? I started this blog/website/whatever as a professional reference for my fellow masticaters that might want to discover and devour local burgers. This area is overflowing with hidden culinary treasures, and burgers rank at the top of most people's list. Got a suggestion for me? Feel free to throw it my way!
If you found this article amusing, helpful, or downright horrible, please send us a message and spill the beans. Think you know of a great burger in the area? Let us know! Keep on masticating.
