King5.Com reported yesterday evening that Dick’s Drive-In, Seattle’s favorite drive thru-in hamburger joint, has plans to open a new restaurant. (Dick’s Vice-President Jim Spady, son of Dick, first announced the news on a KIRO radio show, though King 5 makes no mention of that. Bad King 5.)
This is the first time in 36 years that the chain will open a new location.
If you want to offer your input as to which Seattle neighborhood the restaurant should move into, there is a poll for that purpose on the company website.

Nine days ago Ballard’s newest burger joint, the Seattle Burger Co, opened softly at 2008 NW 56th Street. Today owner William Wen reports the restaurant has “ironed out the kinks” and is ready for its grand opening next Wednesday, March 10.
In a neighborhood replete with burger joints, Wen says his burgers stand out not only for quality ingredients like Tillamook cheese and ground chuck from Oregon, but also their “aggressive” low prices. Those prices range from $3.85 to $6.59 for beef, veggie, and chicken burgers augmented with lettuce and tomato, peppered bacon, wasabi mayo and sweet teriyaki sauce, and other such edible accoutrements.
Seattle Burger Co also serves shakes, floats, fries, and onion rings. Stop by and see how it compares to the likes of Zak’s, The Counter, Lunchbox Lab, and all the others.

It’s hard to argue with sustainably raised shellfish and grassfed local beef. And so we are liking the 2010 series from Ray’s Boathouse. Each month the restaurant hosts a dinner featuring food grown and raised sustainably in the Northwest. On March 4 from 6-8pm, it’s a five-course meal that includes oysters, scallops, mussels, and clams from Taylor Shellfish, Little Skookum, and Penn Cove.
Cost is $65—drinks, tax, and tip not included. Reservations at 206-789-3770, ext 3.
Meat more your bag? Sign up for a pig and beef extravaganza with humanely raised beasts from Skagit River Ranch in the Skagit Valley. It’s on April 3 and costs $60 sans beverage, but there is a pairing option with wines from Woodinville’s DiStefano Winery: a flight of three wines is $20. Call Ray’s for details.
