If you're visiting Seattle, make sure you make a pit stop at Red Mill. It's difficult to decide between fresh fish or a fast food joint. Before you go in , be aware that cellphones are banned as well as plastic money. But believe me you have to try this. Their burgers are flame broiled which has become their characteristic seal.

The original Red Mill was located in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle and opened in 1937. It closed in 1967. It was known as a diner and ice creamery with table and counter service. The current Red Mills were opened first in the Phinney Ridge neighborhood in 1994 and the second location in the Interbay neighborhood in 1998.

In its first year of operation Red Mill received honorable mention in the best burger category in the Seattle Weekly's annual Best of Seattle issue. It has subsequently won the best burger award every year since, along with numerous other accolades.

Owners John and Babe Shepherd named the Red Mill in honor of their two late sisters, Kathleen and Monica Shepherd, both of whom worked at the original Red Mill as waitresses and would bring home french fries and other goodies for their younger siblings including Michael and Mark Shepherd.

Recently opened in Coral Gables, you may find Al Carbon an interesting alternative for getting the great perro-hawaiano or a stuffed burger.

A Miami institution since 1960, Arbetter serves the best hot dogs in Miami. Many famous athletes, including A-ROD, come here for their famous chili or kraut dogs. The hot dogs here are boiled not grilled and the inside of the joint has not changed much since it moved to its current location in 1972. You still get to sit in the elementary school chairs, free refills when you say "I love Larry Bird" or "I love Bob Cousy" and free baked beans the day after the Boston Red Sox win the World Series. When it finally happened in 2004, the line wrapped around the building.

The King would also eat here when he worked in Miami in the 60's and 70's.

Obama and Biden really wanted burgers today. They took the motorcade to a local burger joint in Arlington, Virginia called Ray's Hell Burger. Only one issue: they don't serve fries! Obama really wanted fries but settled on some cheesy tater puffs.
