Whatever happened to the rumors that the Sacramento Kings were going to move up here? I don't pay any attention to the NBA.

Sac is suing the Kings owners for not giving the Sac buyers a fair chance to bid. Seattle waiting to see how that turns out. If Sac wins Seattle buyers probably sue Kings owner as well since they've agreed to the sell in principal. And then while all this is going on we have to wait for NBA relocation commission to finalize and approve the deal.

In other words a big cluster fuck.

Anyone watch the Layover Seattle episode? My friend and I encountered the filming crew sans Bourdain during the taping of the episode. We thought we'd make an appearance in a quick coverage shot but alas, that was not in the cards for us. They were filming around Cap Hill.

Got a bus question if anyone is familiar with sound transit:

I usually take the 542 from greenlake to redmond in the mornings for my 8-5 job. Im kinda wanting to see if I can shift my schedule around to do a 2-10 shift, however the 542 only runs from like 7-10 in the mornings and 3-7 in the afternoons.

The 545 from Seattle to Redmond runs 24/7 I believe, is there a bus I can take from greenlake to catch the 545 somewhere?

In 45 minutes, Anthony Bourdain showcased our beautiful city and it's incredible food culture in a way that Top Chef failed to do in an entire season.

Nook, Canlis, Walrus and Carpenter, Rainier BBQ, Quinn's, Sitka and Spruce, Shorty's, Five Point, etc.

He showcased the entire city (North, Central, South and West), and never tried to pass off the suburbs as being in Seattle...

Seriously, fuck Top Chef.

I will never understand why people think the Five Point has good food. Yeah it's a classic dive bar, but the food is pretty underwhelming.

Because its a classic dive bar. Lots of great memories there when my wife and I lived in Lower Queen Anne. Epic night after seeing The Wrens culminated with debauchery and a fisherman's platter at Five Point.

Bolded the legit ones. I hope he forgot to take a jacket to Canlis.



Paseo is simply the best food on that list too, and I have eaten at all of them except Sun Liquor and Canon.

As far as drunk food goes it's pretty hard to beat.

I don't disagree, it just seems out of place in that list of restaurants.

Forget Sun Liquor, just go to the Summit Pub next door. The pizza place between the two will deliver right to your table.

NICE! Sounds like a great episode. I have watched the other episodes and really enjoy the show. I will have to catch this one when it re-airs. Speaking of Five Point I will be going back in the next few weeks when my brother comes for a visit. Can't wait, my favorite greasy spoon!

I was in about 3 frames of a Top Chef episode.

NeoGAF is home to so many famous people now.

Where days Gary Whittta rank at this point? I think we are close.

Kinda glad they only mentioned the Fremont Paseo location. Leave the other one for us locals.
Click to expand...

Fremont is fine if you call in your order. Then just stroll past the line like a boss.

Also finally tried Pinky's BBQ truck on 45th St. NOT BAD. Brisket was great, coleslaw was good but the Mac cheese was revelatory.

Is that the "Pig and Chips" place? I always mean to try them out, but never do...

I noticed a sushi truck right by the Taco Time on 45th Saturday night. Box Nature, I think it was called. Ever tried it?

Is Rain Sushi not there anymore? (next door to Taco Time in Wallingford)

I went to high school with the owner and many of the employees.

So many ups and downs with their food.. seemed to go along with the cocaine addictions everyone was developing..

I'm going to spend a weekend in Seattle at the end of March and I want to take my wife somewhere nice for dinner. Somewhere somewhat romantic would be nice and we are adventurous foodies so we're up for anything!

Bungie Studios
550 106th Avenue Northeast

Bellevue, WA 98004

It's open to the public but based on the last presentation I went to, seating is VERY limited.
I'm hoping they spend two hours talking about rocks.

Yeah, Rain moved its food business into Green Monster Lounge or whatever that fucking lame DJ and drinks place is. Every time I have attempted to go there it has been a clusterfuck of incompetence and clear drug use. Miyabi, I think, is the noodle place opening up in the former RAIN space. It's mostly Soba, but there will be ramen and Udon and the original location in like, Renton or Oregon or Mexico or whatever, has a loyal and excited following. so I am stoked. Wallingford fo life. 45th St is the street of dreams for foodies. Lots of crap, but plenty of gems.

Miyabi is in the Southcenter Mall, which might as well be another country. Excited to try them out as soon as they open in superior North Seattle.

45th does have a great string of restaurants, and Bottleworks.

All hail Bottleworks.
