Tummy 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.

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...

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...
