Been rollin with that stupid Service Engine light forever! haha
I had a double-down for the first time today, and it reminded me of LL. Sooo salty! What didn't you like other than the burger ****, the ductape holding the table together, the packed small location, or the expensive food? Just wondering. 
P.S. - forgot to mention this crap. I say crap cause I was just in Montana near a Fuddruckers, but didn't have time to stop in!

Interesting, i've had the same reaction to Redmill that you had with LL.
Spent $9 for a bacon delux and fries (with soda it would have been over $10) and didnt think their burger was anything special. Sadly the best part was the really nice lettuce. And if lettuce is the best part of your burger you have problems.
$4 more for the Lunchbox Lab burger with tons of toppings and a soda is, IMHO, a better deal for a better burger... Plus the burger **** is just extra character, I try to **** her off every time I come in for the sport! (she's the one that will die early from stress)
Fair disclosure: Like most oversized Americans I do like "big" meals/burgers.

I just came across this great recap of what's been going on with BP in the Gulf of Mexico.

New info on the next gen Evo....
http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/evo-sti-diesel/
Europe’s Euro 5 emissions standard has already killed off Mazda’s RX-8; is it any wonder that the Impreza STI is running scared? Autocar reports that the next-gen STI, due sometime in 2012 will not offer another version of the 2.0 turbocharged gas engines that have powered the car since it got a reputation for bargain thrills. Instead, a two-liter turbodiesel is likely to be the main engine on offer, as Subaru strives to keep the STI grunty without blowing its emissions limits.
Though a downsized turbocharged gas engine (likely 1.5 liter displacement) may still be on the table, the switch to diesel heralds a sea change in the STI’s orientation: rather than staying in its rally-focused mode, the STI will concentrate instead on circuit racing. Meanwhile, the Mitsubishi Evo XI is said to be going to a diesel-hybrid system, as it follows the STI from the gravel stage to the track. America was late to the Evo/STI party in the first place… will a move towards diesel performance once again doom the US to do without these AWD budget-blasters?
http://www.autocar.co.uk/News/NewsAr...llCars/250385/
Mitsubishi is planning a radical overhaul of its Lancer Evolution by changing the next incarnation into a diesel hybrid. The switch of drivetrain is designed to save the Evo from tightening economy and emissions regs while preserving its trademark mid-range shove.
Mitsubishi is said to have given serious consideration to axing the Evo model altogether. As recently as a month ago, sources in Japan said an earlier project — to switch the car to a petrol hybrid powertrain and base it on the PX-MiEV SUV concept’s platform — was dead.
But now the firm’s R&D department has been given approval to push the car in a different direction: a diesel hybrid.
Engineers hope that the mix of clean-diesel torque and electric motor assistance will allow the Evo XI to deliver a 0-62mph time of under five seconds, yet cut CO2 emissions to well under 200g/km.
Handling will be entrusted to a revised version of the Evo’s highly rated four-wheel drive system, S-AWC, which integrates steering, braking and traction control.
The switch marks a big gamble for Mitsubishi. Diesel hybrid will, in effect, rule the Evo out of competition use and could limit its appeal in key markets such as the US and Japan, where diesels have yet to gain widespread acceptance.

Here's a few one liners for you guys 
"Scientists say they have developed a car that can run on water. The only catch is, the water has to come from the Gulf of Mexico." -Jay Leno
"BP has inserted a siphon tube into the well to suck up all the oil from the spill. And they've had a lot of experience in this area, by the way. This is the same tube they've been using to suck the money out of our wallets for the past 50 years." –Jay Leno
"What they're going to do is they're going to suck all of that oil that's leaking into the gulf and pump it up into a tanker. Now the bad news is the tanker is the Exxon Valdez." –David Letterman
"And tar is washing up onto the beaches — big globs of tar. And people are saying, 'Is that going to ruin our summer at the beach?' No, of course not. You take the big blobs of tar and you use them to hold down your blanket." –David Letterman
"This oil spill in the Gulf is affecting everybody. In fact, when I went to lunch this weekend and ordered the sea bass, they asked if I wanted it regular or unleaded." —David Letterman
"British Petroleum said today that if this spill gets worse, they may soon have to start drilling for water." —Jay Leno
"On Monday, British Petroleum promised to pay all necessary cleanup costs for this oil spill. And they said they will do it, no matter how much they have to raise gas prices." —Jay Leno
"They say the oil spill has the potential to kill more wildlife than a Sarah Palin hunting trip." —David Letterman
"By the way, Sarah Palin, if you're watching, how is that offshore drilling working out for ya?" —David Letterman
"The plan is to contain the oil slick with fire-retardant beams, and then set fire to the oil that pools on the surface. They say if it works there in the Gulf, they're going to try it on the cast of Jersey Shore." —Bill Maher
"Bad news, it's going to be a huge environmental disaster, the oil rig down there in the Gulf of Mexico. The good news is they think now that the oil spill will be diluted by the melting ice caps." —David Letterman

I think both LL and Red Mill are good. You two are fanboi's to a degree and can't appreciate what the other offers. LL offers a really big burger with a TON of extra crap thrown on. Red Mill offers a really good tasting burger patty. I couldn't honestly tell you what the LL burger patty tastes like as all the extra stuff pouring off my burger wouldn't allow my taste buds to focus.
The best baseline would be to order the most basic burger from both places. In that regard I would assume Red Mill would win. I would put the patty from Big-E's up there too as they have a genuinely tasty patty. I enjoyed both places - I personally like a messy burger that has so much stuff on it that you have to eat it with a fork/knife. But I know not everyone would appreciate that.
So the real reason I'm posting - we have a small poker party in Monroe tomorrow night but some people can't make it. We're hoping to get 8 - 9 people max and we currently have 4 - 5. Anyone want to play? $20 buy-in, Texas hold-em, and none of us are what you would call good. You can re-buy-in if you want too. Let me know!
