Low Profile Lunch

It's best to keep this short and sweet. B had lunch at Whole Foods (I made a delightful taco salad) with a "friend". Good food, good times, good friend.

Food: 4/5 I feel like a food artist whenever I eat at the Whole Foods salad/hot food bar

Good Times: 5/5 NO TUKWILA!

Fear of having my T2 posting capability revoked 3/5

Lunching with my pregnant unnamed friend 5/5

Ahh Whole Foods, very pretty veggies and produce. Today I made a venture of my own into Georgetown. Via Tribunali, so worth the scary drive down the ally that is Vale Street. The pizza at Via Tribunali is so worth dodging a vagrant so I could edge into a sketchy parking spot. I asked the Italian man taking our order to explain the menu to me twice. Hey my Community College Italian is not so poor. I know Prusciutto E Funghi is a fancy mushroom pizza....but I wanted to close my eyes and ask him to read the Yellow Pages. Italian man's accent is almost as delicious as the food. Party of four, we each ordered our own pizza thinking we'd get small individual pizzas. Not the case - serious strategic mistake. The tables are small and the pies are huge. Share a pizza. Oh and you know what's weird - you have to cut your own pizza with a small steak knife. Weird. And try to sit so you can see the door because 100% of the patrons tried to pull the door - you can't it's a push door. I got the giggles during lunch because of it.

The Dante pizza has meat on it I think it's smoked Prusciutto. I have vegetarian tendencies and don't often eat lots of dead stuff but oh my heavens that Dante Pizza is amazing. Arugual all over it too which was unexpected. The tomato sauce is made fresh not some jarred stuff. Awesome!

Prices start at $7 for a lunch salad. $10 to $14 for a pizza. Lunch menu is small, very small. Dinner menu three times the size.

Check it out. Park by Bank of America it's better parking than what I found on the street. And don't let Vale Street scare you off.

B - I suspect you ate your "Art Salad" with the Artificial Woman - and in Downtown Seattle no less. I'm curious B, did your lunch taste like treason?

We'll have to talk about this on Tuesday.

The Jack Shack

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

ACME Bites

On M's suggestion, B and I went to ACME Bowl for lunch today. I had the veggie burger, and B had the Chipotle burger, both were above average for bowling alley fare, and the service was good, but slow. I suspected that our waiter was also the cook, since he would disappear for periods of time into the kitchen, and come out later with trays of food. While the restaurant was slow (there were only two other tables besides us), the alley was busy with lots of teenagers, single ladies, and divorced fathers with their kids. There was one family whose mother and father were both such bad bowlers that their three sons, ages 8 - 5 were wiping the alleys with them. One final score was Mom: 60, little Johnny: 75. All I kept thinking was - how embarrassing to be so bad at a sport that even a child is better than you. I mean, even though I myself bowl a 65, at least I don't have some toddler hanging around trying to showing me up! Anyway - it was a fun adventure, and outside the norm. B a

The Best In Tukwila

Today's blog is dedicated to Dede - the best darned waitress this side of the Mississippi. Dede schleps sushi accoutrements to all the hungry people of Tukwila, Monday - Friday at Blue C Sushi in Tukwila. A note to others: no one better mess with her patrons - or there will be hell to pay! While waiting to check out, another waiter attempted to "steal" Dede's table - B and I are wishing him well as he recuperates in intensive care, Haborview. Other than receiving spectacular service, we also received: a mall stalking, an offer to purchase illegal substances at the generic cell phone store, a couple of false signals from the gaydar signal, and an unwelcome, over-zealous sales woman's attention at the Kitchen Store. Food: 5/5 Entertainment: 5/5 Broken gaydar equipment: 0/5
