 The Deluxe is a good burger, but I always preferred two Dick's Specials.
 The fries at Dick's are also top-notch, made from fresh potatoes that are
 sliced before your eyes.  And the Carnation ice-cream shakes are tasty,
 as well.

 As for which is the best Dick's location, I might agree that the NE45th
 location is the best "traditional" Dick's, but the Seattle Center locale,
 with indoor seating, is very friendly, as well.  I've never been very
 fond of the Capitol Hill shop.

 Another great thing about Dick's is their t-shirts, which take on a whole
 different meaning when worn outside of Seattle.  The slogan printed on
 them is:  "Dick's - Where Taste is the Difference."
