That man made some of the most insane, epic, delicious food creations I have ever tasted. I only ever finished one... but I'll stop there when I'm in Seattle next, of course, and hopefully repeat the feat.

I'm sure some stuff was hit or miss, but the fact that you could (speculation) go there on any given week and encounter something new is pretty rare. Here's to hoping the place retained the favorite recipes to at least keep making unique burgers. Otherwise that's a damn shame.

A big part of the menu has always been the random burger of the day/week and this guy thought of some crazy shit. Hell my pic is one of their burgers if you wonder at how that stuff looked. Most burger joints thrive on having their menu set in stone, the classics you know like Roadrunner has been doing for 40 years or like Lucky wishbone. But a place that constantly mixes it up and never really keeps but a handful of set burgers might suffer. Maybe someone else in the staff has some real talent and this is a chance to step up. I will still eat that shit up because what is part of the set menu is damn delicious.

Kidding aside; do you think his legacy will continue on in his absence?

There is very little I get as obsessive and excited about at food. The guy somehow found a way to my soul with his burgers. They were the type of food that I could not resist and always had to go back for more. I have probably been to this particular burger place more than I have ever been to any single other non fast food eatery in my whole life, which says a lot as this place was not cheap. My most sincere condolences to all of his family and friends. He was a good guy and a great chef.
