Seattle Trip IX: The Food

This post is for Patrick. We tried to go to restaurants that we would not be able to find in Idaho Falls while in the Seattle area. Sunday night, we tried Korean barbeque. I knew this would be testing Rachael's limits, so we made a game of it by counting how many new foods we each tried. Apparently, she'll do anything for a hash mark, even try kimchi. We did not like it, but Patrick thought it was okay. There were a few dishes that were too spicy for the girls and I. There was some white stuff that was really yummy though.



The next night we ate at a Greek restaurant. The girls were not very patient here, but I thought it was pretty good food. Even the roasted beets weren't bad.



For lunch on our harbor day, we found a sourdough restaurant on the pier. The sandwiches were yummy although the table was a bit cramped for four of us. 



We ate at the Old Spaghetti Factory, which admittedly is a chain, but we don't have it in Idaho. The food was fine, the decor was more interesting. The girls were glad to finally get "normal" food... and ice cream.




While we were in Tacoma, we visited the Southern Kitchen Restaurant, which had been on Diner's Drive-Ins and Dives. The food was alright. We were pretty much the only caucasians there. The bathroom was minuscule and broiling hot. Yes, that was an important point since I had to spend quite some time in there with Rachael. The girls fell in love with their strawberry lemonade.




While on Bainbridge Island, we also visited a diner reviewed on that show, but we don't have any pictures for it. Nothing too exciting. On our way home, we stayed the night in Boise and Patrick took us to Tucanos, a Brazilian steakhouse. As always, the grilled pineapple was awesome. The girls did not want to have anything to do with the meat. Thank goodness for a huge salad bar.
