• Posted Five Star Fish and Chips to Seattlest
  For years we drove by Daly’s Drive-In at 2713 Eastlake Ave East (at Edgar Street) without a thought, but don’t you do the same! The sad news is that come next spring, the lot they’re on, and the one next to it, are slated for demolition. Truth be known, the building they’re in is irreparable, but we have very sadly come to terms with the fact that is highly unlikely that they will stay...
• Posted Saving for College to Seattlest
  Pre-marriage, pre-kids, pre-thinking-about-what-college-in-2022-is-going-to-cost, we used to go out to expensive restaurants to eat all the time. Pretty much any Saturday night was a good enough reason to hit Campagne, Lampreia, Cascadia, Rover’s etc. But it’s been awhile. These days only special occasions warrant dinners like those. So the special occasion this past Saturday night? Very pregnant, and thinking that at any minute we’ll lose the ability to go out to dinner at all, at least...

Truth be told, we are so not cool enough to hang out there, but the food is excellent, so we just don't care. Besides, someone has to fill the tables at 6pm so the place looks full for when the real wine bar crowd...
• Posted Can you hear me now? I said EAT AT VEIL! to Seattlest
  Of course there are both upsides and downsides to eating at Veil. But since there's no question there are more upsides than down, we’ll start with the downs: Veil is too loud. Every gorgeous surface is hard, and even on a half-empty Tuesday night, we had to lean our heads together to hear our conversation over everyone else's. But that's it. That’s the only real downside. So the question is whether we can live with...
• Posted Have you met The Man? to Seattlest
  It’s probably been more than a year since we hauled our butts over the bridge for some Dixie’s BBQ, and we are thrilled to report that almost nothing has changed. We lived in Bellevue a very long time ago and used to line up at least once a week in the parking lot under the 405/520 interchange for a heaping helping of luscious, generously sauced, falling apart beef brisket barbecue served on a wonderfully...
