Paseo's is so godlike. I literally would be fine eating nothing else for the rest of my life.
I must've gotten the wrong thing there, cause to me it was super bland and way overpriced. Any recommendations for what to try next time?
Good question. We must make this one for the ages.
The Blue Shroom burger and Cajun are my favorite. The fries (especially garlic parmesan) and tater tots are excellent too.
Maybe I exaggerated it a little bit, but one of the main reasons why I really love it is because they have gluten free buns and know how to prepare stuff gluten free so that my gluten-intolerant wife can eat there without worrying about it.

Dude. You guys. Seriously. You guys. Dude.
Cooper's Alehouse, in the Maple Leaf area. They have this thing they call "totchos". It's nachos, but with Tater Tors instead of chips.

Cooper's also has a killer tap list and kick ass craft beer events. Not very far from us in Greenlake. Really nice that I can take my little one there.

Yeah, except it's IPA fest right now and IPA is my least favorite type of beer. They did still have something good on tap though. I can't remember the specific beer, but I had some sort of Porter or Stout that I liked.
Oh yeah? Well I spent a good portion of the day (read: all of it mostly) in a windowless room inside a large factory. So there!
I'm just jealous

I spent the day at work. At a high school.
At least I have huge windows in my office.

It's a little divey, but not one of those really good ones where there's that same 60 year old woman with missing teeth trying to pick up on every guy who walks in the place in the hopes of getting a free drink out of him.
IPA is like the Cilantro of beers. See, you could go for subtlety, or smoothness, or something clever, or BAM you could just make it taste of fucking hops. Ignoring the fact that Hops isn't a pleasant flavor for most people and that brewers over the centuries have done their best to smooth that flavor out.
Fuck IPAs.
Shiro's is easily the best in Seattle, but ONLY if you sit at the bar and especially if you order Omakase. If Shiro himself is there, expect to have to have your mind completely blown. And eat the Shrimp heads. You will not be sorry. Don't worry, the antennae are like nachos. Also, talk to him about Zatoichi. He loves Zatoichi.

Go to Jae's, sit at the bar and ask them to surprise you.
They will.
I never really got why people in this town go so crazy over Shiro's, but to each his own.

Has anyone else been to the Pinball Museum in the ID? One of my new favorite places. Chronological ordering of restored pinball machines. 10 bucks play as long as you want. They server beer.
Epic.

I don't mind IPAs, but it seems like the Northwest is obsessed with it. The majority of microbrews I see in stores fit in the IPA category. Is it just an easier beer to make or something?

That pinball museum looks great. I can't believe that I've not seen it yet. We're eastsiders, but my wife and I take the bus over to the ID with the kids all the time, especially in the winter. Must of just missed it.
Spring is here though, so less city trips and more hiking and camping now.

It's popular and the majority of the country's hops are grown locally.
Amazing food. Went there on day 3 from grand opening.
This.
And THIS. Best non-traditional burgers...like, ever from anywhere.
The best part? they're planning on opening a bigger one perhaps on Cap Hill or of the likes.
Been there. I'm gaining weight just thinking about it. And it's pure magic.
My good friend Charlie and his wife run that place. Now that they got their liquor license, party time in Chinatown people!!! We should do a GAF meetup there sometime. It's an easy walk for me!

I hate that the sun only comes out when I go out of town. I've been in Vegas since Sunday for the purpose of getting some sun. At least it looks like its going to stay that way through the weekend.
And if you're going to the pinball museum, check out Purple Dot Cafe across the street. Pretty good Chinese food.

Go to Hong Kong Bistro next door to Purple dot and get some clay pot rice. Pretty great. Also some soup noodles that you can add curry fish balls to. Amazing!

Fuji Bakery is awesome. Next time you're down in the ID get a Milk Stick.

It's Seattle Beer Week starting today. I'm doing Tour de Pints on Saturday (11am-7pm bike ride around the city to a bunch of breweries) and attending Barrel Night at Fremont next Friday (4pm-8pm). Anyone?
how did i not know this? i'm off friday, could potentially make the fremont thing.
distantmantra

I'll be there with my wife and the baby. Love the fact that they're kid and dog friendly. Friday the 18th, not the 11th.
www.seattlebeerweek.com -- TONS of events all over the region.
I'll keep an eye on this. But Saturdays are brutal for me with Sounders n the such. I get plenty drunk, anyways.
Should we try for the 18th? Small meet, yeah?

Tour de Pints was a madhouse, so we did our own thing after Hilliards. Hit up Northwest Peaks, Maritime Pacific, Hales, Fremont and Big Time Brewing.

This weather is so insanely good. I'm about to walk down to the beach (Carkeek Park) and just chill for a while.

Stuck in my office at work with no windows, but we've got an absolutely killer view of Mt. Rainier in the staff parking lot.
Seattle-gaf, do any of you know of any Pho challenge in the area? Similar to Pho Garden's pho challenge in San Francisco?
Thanks to this post I found my next hike.What a perfect weekend to hike up Mt. Si! It was really busy, but my wife and I got there around 9:30AM so it wasn't too bad yet.
Beautiful 4 miles up with 3000ft. of elevation
(I'm sore now. Ow.)

No clue, but we have pho all over the place up here.
