Tummy Tukwila

By the way - Kilt Guy... put some pants on, Tukwila is far, far away from the United Kingdom.

Today, J and B are out of the office, so for lunch my choices were to: A. go to Taco Del Mar (always a good choice) B. eat a noodle soup at my desk, or C. go to the top of the employee parking garage where there is a summer event in progress - watch the Blue Angels and laugh at the people participating in the Hot Dog Eating Contest. I chose B. and C. Option B is considered the "Loneliest Lesbian Lunch" or what J and I refer to as - the LL Lunch. An LL Lunch is had alone at one's desk, eating a meal that requires either to be reheated, rehydrated, or microwaved (sometimes all 3). Think of it this way - if your lunch requires you to puncture 4 - 5 holes, or pull back the corner for ventilation, you're probably having an LL Lunch. While it's thrifty, it is the loneliest kind of lunch you can have. My noodle soup was good, but not very satiating, so I'm still hungry - although, not hungry enough to eat a hot dog. Speaking of hot dogs - I'm sure that when I men

Ahhh ... Blue C. This time our waiter was DeShawnda , she had a straight-up attitude and natural sass unlike any other waiter in the south-end, but that's why we liked her. She was straightforward and told it like it is. It's so refreshing to get the truth every now and then (take note Bubble Tea Lying Girl). On to the food - mmmm ... seared tuna! The picture really can't do it justice, you need to taste it to believe it. And today I felt hungrier than ever, but refrained from eating more than 6 plates - sushi at Blue C is deeelish for sure, but it's also really expensive. This really can't become a habit or I will need a part-time job. J finally shared a secret that he has been keeping from B and I today - katsu potatoes are super tasty. I had it in my mind that they probably tasted something like homefries you'd order with your breakfast at Charlies on Broadway, but instead they taste similar to a beniet (French pastry) - slightly sweet, with a crispy oute

[sigh] I love Racha - in Queen Anne , that is. J and I were so excited about the prospect of having one closer to our offices that the first day we were all back in the office together, we made the trip. First impression: the Cheesecake Factory went Thai. The interior is probably the genius of the same designer that the Cheesecake Factory used - think whimsy . I'm surprised the rice wasn't served in a tilting tower. We were welcomed by two Geisha Barbies - two blond , blue-eyed ladies wearing short-cropped kimonos and bowing with their hands clasped - Welcome! - it was startling. I felt like running in the direction of Blue C where there are no "It's a Small World" themes, but going from my food experience at the Queen Anne location - I felt that I could get past it if the food was good. Food - I've had better at the food court. I ordered the Pud See Ew with just veggies - normally, this dish is very flavorful and doesn't need much in the way of prote

Not only did B discover a new Chipoltle is headed to his neighborhood, today marked the long awaited return of the Westfield Shoppingtown Southcenter food court! Today's selection was the always popular Blue C Sushi, which did not disappoint. The spicy tuna was excellent, the potato katsu crispy, the sesame noodles sesame-y. There were, however, some unfortunate hair choices on the part of the wait staff, foremost of which was our very own waiter, Andrew, who decided to shave his head without the use of a mirror. Bad idea, Andy! Lunch quickly morphed into in-mall snacktime, where we met a girl who lies about the ingredients of milk tea, and a self-serve fro-yo stand. B and J each got a giant tub of yogurt for $5, and R got a jasmine tea from the lying girl. J would rate the yogurt as mediocre at best, but the tea was amusing as R managed to spill it all over herself, despite it being housed in a vacuum sealed container. J's ratings: Lunch 4/5 Yogurt 2/5 Good times 3/5

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 a
