I haven't been to seattle in over two years now but am going to be soon - where should I eat?

joygoat, Thursday, 30 September 2010 05:07 (fourteen years ago) link

my 2 new favorite breakfast places, both south of downtown:

http://www.thesalvadoreanbakery.com/

http://www.yelp.com/biz/pasteleria-y-panaderia-la-ideal-seattle

the latter isn't a sit-down place, but you can take pastries and go over to where they're tearing down the south park bridge and sit and eat and look at the river.

Ha! Jen and Jill have been staying with Kate Silver and myself! Seattle diaspora unite for real!

Joygoat: If you're in the mood for great soup at a good bar go to the Hopvine Pub, on 15th and Mercer.

Sandwiches: between noon and 4 only and only Tue-Fri, is Salumi, in Pioneer Square. Arrive early if you plan to eat early, but if you want to just wing it show up around 3. They'll be out of a lot of stuff but there won't be a line, and their leftovers are still good.

Chinese: Hing Loon on Weller and Maynard (near King St.) in the I.D. No atmosphere, great food.

I went to the Chef Bar and Restaurant on 23rd and Jackson the other night, got $9 of real fine Ethiopian food, me and the lady friend couldn't finish it. Katenga = amazing.

clotpoll, Saturday, 2 October 2010 05:16 (fourteen years ago) link

i had the lamb the other night there. maybe the best lamb i've ever had? of any cuisine? wow @ that much subtlety and complexity, and i ate leftovers twice more off it. what a place

tehresa, Saturday, 2 October 2010 16:24 (fourteen years ago) link

I'd been thinking about Ethiopian anyway so that pretty much seals that.

And I'm hoping to get into town in time to hit Salumi, which I've only done once before. I want to pick up some guanciale and other stuff even if I don't eat there.

joygoat, Sunday, 3 October 2010 01:17 (fourteen years ago) link

If you know what you want, call it in in the morning - they'll have it wrapped and waiting for you and you don't have to wait in the line. Just plow on past everyone and yell that you're there to pick up.

Life is good right now. Just saw bill orcutt at the Josephine. Sir Richard bishop is up next. Team North Seattle!

tehresa, Monday, 4 October 2010 03:52 (fourteen years ago) link

it took me two hours to get one sandwich from salumi

Mad cravings for maneki today!

tehresa, Monday, 4 October 2010 18:09 (fourteen years ago) link

haven't ever had salumi. :(

mod future admin gang ban them all (The Reverend), Monday, 4 October 2010 19:41 (fourteen years ago) link

There are some other places around town that serve their meats - Grand Central Bakery for one. And DeLaurenti's in the market sells Salumi salami and finocciona in the deli. Really though, the seasonal sandwiches Salumi puts together are almost always excellent - goat cheese, fig spread, and proscuitto; the special harvest time only sausage with provolone and baked spiced apples; etc.

Jaq, Monday, 4 October 2010 20:39 (fourteen years ago) link

Rev - I'd swear you were at one of our parties where I had giant piles of 3 different meats from Salumi, when we were in the small loft on 1st Ave.

Jaq, Monday, 4 October 2010 20:41 (fourteen years ago) link

maybe? i think i only went to one party there. if i did, i don't remember, or at least you didn't hype your coldcuts that much.

ayo for dayo (The Reverend), Monday, 4 October 2010 20:45 (fourteen years ago) link

We only had one party in that space - and were too shattered after that one to have another for over a year.

Jaq, Monday, 4 October 2010 20:52 (fourteen years ago) link

You can get salumi's mole one @ metropolitan market!

tehresa, Monday, 4 October 2010 22:31 (fourteen years ago) link

you can even get Salumi in Bellingham at the Old World Deli.

kate78, Tuesday, 5 October 2010 00:54 (fourteen years ago) link

You can get salumi's mole one @ metropolitan market!

plus several other flavors. reliably the salumi salami and finocchiona. mole salami is the best, though, so i never get anything else.

haven't been to maneki in SO DAMN LONG. god, i love that place. usually for sushi these day i go to umi, cuz it's decent and just across the street. and i like the spicy ginger tofu. so lazy i.

People wanting to fap while plax(ico) is in town - this may occur on Friday evening.

Jaq, Tuesday, 5 October 2010 13:44 (fourteen years ago) link

I will be back in about 12 hours or so. This is not really what I want.
