Southcenter Mall Finally Reopens

Image
By R.
It's official - today, Westfield Shopping Center is celebrating their grand re-opening.

To the hordes of crowds blocking up the parking lot, food court, and the H&M store, this must be the hottest thing that's hit this area since the Rainforest Cafe opening back in 1999. It was so exciting, in fact that someone had a heart-attack in the middle of H&M.

So what in name of love would cause the three of us to trudge through a sea of South-enders during such a grand event? Blue C Sushi. Its got a funky, Tokyo-inspired interior, and ridiculously deeelish sushi.

It used to be, if you wanted sushi, your choices were limited to Sushi(ghetto)land and Myabi. Both are sub-par, and both might give you E. coli with their warm, grade B tuna. And with food options getting really old out here, the idea of a favorite downtown restaurant opening near our offices was... well let's just say that none of us scheduled meetings close to, or after our lunchtime.

My favorite dish at Blue C is the Seared Tuna with garlic sauce. It's fresh, cold, garlicky, and as Blayne from Project Runway would say - liscious. Besides the seared tuna, Spicy Tuna Roll and Sesame Noodles run a close second. I could eat my weight in sushi there...

Sushi is sacred. Blue C is a temple. Thank God, something worth eating in the south-end.

Lunch 4/5
Bubble tea 2/5
Good times 4/5 (lower score due to a deceitful bubble tea - see J's blog above)

(New Feature!) J Tries Something Different

By
After an extended absence which involved first graduating, then spending a couple of months doing nothing that required thinking, J makes his triumphant return to Tummy Tukwila. Endlessly attending University of Washington has resulted in many routines that he is now trying to break. One of these routines is always ordering the same thing at restaurants. From now until 2010, J will select something he has never or rarely eaten at the T2 gang's familiar haunts, and review his experiences. August 4 Familiar Haunt: Joeys [sic] J's Routine: Better Beef Dip with Skinny Fries The T2 crew was joined for lunch today by frequent guest star Power Womon as they headed to Joeys for a healthy dose of T&A (that's "tasty" and "appetizing," pervert) vittles. At first, everyone tried something different--Joeys had a bland, unappealing male host instead of Paris Hilton, and the crew sat in the actual restaurant instead of the bar, an experience not unlike attending th...

The Jack Shack

By R.
We've all been either too busy or too lazy to write about our lunchtime adventures, but know this - we have had lunches - some were fabulous, others were sadly disappointing (Mali Thai) and at least one was down-right scandalous (Joey's). So to make up for the long absence, I'll thrill you with our adventure to: Joeys (their apostrophe is missing, not mine)... Even though I was warned , I had to see it for myself. Joey's is Cowboy Ugly and the Pussy Cat Dolls Lounge all rolled into one, great-big southend jack shack. To get the full effect, we sat in the bar where all the waitresses are 1. Former female strippers, 2. Current female strippers, and 3. Really know how to sex up an entree so you'll want to buy it. At first, I was overcome with the smart, sleek interior design. I felt like I was at The Parker in Palm Springs . The architecture is open and modern, the colors hip, and the booths are sleek. I was so busy ogling the fabulous design that I didn't even s...
