I've never heard of a BJ's before....

By
B and J (with another J) branched out to experience another new South Center eatery. Today's extra special event occurred at BJ's (which we think stands for either Barbara Jean or Big & Jumbo). The extra special event was J's birthday celebration…well maybe not.

Our aggressive, chirping bulldozer of a server (she had the word "belly" on her name badge) was disappointed when we refused to order dessert before we had finished even half of our lunch. But, I'm getting ahead of myself. New J ordered shrimp tacos with chipotle mayo (but refused to admit there was any mayo on the taco), old J ordered a hungry man size chicken fried steak and B surprised everyone and ordered chicken fingers (I know, it's very old J like). Gossip and Olympics talk followed.

Overall, the food was average. We did stop at Red Mango afterward, which made everything better, especially with the free honey topping for the yogurt (or so we hear...).

Food: 2/5 (pre-yogurt) 3.5/5 (post-yogurt)
Goodtimes: 3/5 (we miss R)
Not giving your child a middle name: 0/5

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...

(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...
