And a Seattle Weekend Recap

Seattle October 2014 || PasstheSushi.com
A few months back Peabody, Erin and I tossed out the idea of a weekend get together, and since I am all about random acts of awesome lately, we made it happen. So, what happens when you put 3 totally hot food bloggers with only one man and a puppy in a mecca of organic seasonal and fresh food? We sit in our PJs and watch Magic Mike and Bad Words til all hours of the morning. Duh.

And eat... a lot. Seriously, we were on a mission to pack as much food into 2 days as we could. And I'd say we did pretty damned well.

We touched down and headed to Triple XXX Rootbeer Drive-in, but due to a storm, power was out. So, lucky for us, we got to taste test Lunchbox Laboratory (and that's pretty much where it all went down hill). Starving from my long flight everything suddenly sounded delicious. So... we pretty much ordered just that. One of all of it. 3 boozy milkshakes, 2 burgers, a sandwich, the daily mac and cheese, Hong Kong Hot Wings, Dork Balls, Tang-O-Ritas and more. Food coma to come quickly. But, we aren't quitters. Forward we boldly marched to check out some great views and see a bit more of the area.

Dinner was at> Kokoras Greek Grill, who made the best Avgolemono and hummus ever. Followed by movie night. Kind of just what the doctor ordered for a girl burning the candle at both ends.

The next morning we shared 3 amazing pastries at Frost where I popped my fritter cherry. Oh. My. God. Apple Fritters. That is all.
We headed downtown to Pikes Place Market and did the usual food gawker run around - where Peabody then introduced us to the best. Greek. yogurt. ever. (Splurge, order some now!). We then ducked into Piroshky Piroshky for fresh baked deliciousness. And into a few more stores (where I proudly declared my new adult name to be 'Squeezable Deliciousness' in the ever classy Sur La Table - pronounced just like that).

A trip to a seemingly harmless root beer store ended with a trip to Fed Ex and ultimately additional luggage purchase for Erin as things spiraled out of control quickly. But it really looked like it made her day! (I know it sure as heck made her collection).

After much discussion about cook books, food blogging, and a little lesson in bunny naps, we headed out to our final dinner in Washington. Preservation Kitchen did not disappoint. I even ordered the vegetarian dinner (but mainly because I knew I would be sharing with Erin) 😉 Caramelized Short Ribs, Vegetable Risotto, Wild Boar Ragu. Apple bread pudding. Yeah, Washington is pretty much a foodies heaven.

Before boarding our planes, we did get to stop at Triple XXX Rootbeer. It was perfect. A hot dog to make an horse blush, giant milk shakes, and a few more laughs. Yeah, that's how you do Washington in 2 days or less.

    Yessss I love this post! And makes me want to go back already in fact I may be coming over right now to snatch this milkshake out of your hands. I myself was just thinking about making an innocent booze-free pumpkin pie shake or smoothie. How on earth I did not already assume I'd be putting alcohol in it I don't know but I'll be adjusting that pronto.

  6. Dorothy at Shockingly Delicious says:

    OK, follow my logic...sweet potatoes are a vegetable, so that drink counts as one of my vegetables for the day. Right? I thought so.
