People are actually hating on Paseo's here? Good god.

Yea my girlfriend was at a con there last year and made the mistake of ordering one. Also never have them at Qwest Field either. The best vendor I've found was in Lower Queen Anne called Mad Dawgs. The proprietor used to post up in the Bank of America parking lot. But he disappeared late last year. I'm living in Kirkland now so I don't know if he ever came back, but if you see him (short young asian dude with glasses with a black sign w/ a red Mad Dawgs logo) running a cart in the city, buy one. You won't be disappointed.

Mad Dawgs is great. The owner is a good buddy of mine, glad to see it getting some love.

With that said, Capitol Hill has the best hot dogs. I'm partial to the one on the corner of 10th & Pike outside of Moe Bar.

I'm working on putting something together for next month. Probably 2nd or 3rd weekend in April. I'm always open to suggestions of course!

No shit? Well I hope he continues to do well with it. He's got a good spot with Peso's and Ozzie's nearby.

And yes, the stand near Moe Bar is also very good. I also liked the one in Ballard outside Bal-Mar.

Tom Douglas is overrated.
I get why he was the shit 10 years ago when there was really very little great food in this town, but now I feel the food scene had passed him by.

Yea people told me when I first got here two years ago, "OMG you have to try his pizza it's the best EVAR." lolol

I would think after all these years and hundreds of thousands of transplants there would be some really great restaurants, but so far I've found very few, aside from a decent steakhouse or two and (obviously) great seafood spots. Perhaps I haven' ventured far enough north on either side of Lake Washington...

There is great food in Seattle.

Try Lark, La Bete, The Corson Building, Sitka & Spruce, Revel, Salumi, The Blind Pig Bistro.

(just what randomly popped in my mind, there are many other great places).

Is it sticking on the roads? Just remember that you need extra room to slow down - don't try to make sudden changes in speed while driving.

Don't floor the gas or slam on the brakes, you'll start sliding immediately.

Are you nightlife people?

Yeah a cool place for nightlife would be awesome. Not a club or anything but a cool bar or so.

That festival tomorrow looks pretty amazing.

Also food spots that we must check out. We're total foodies.

If you want to blend in with the local crowd you need to lower you intelligence, put on your led shows and, chain all the tires you can find and keep the chains on for a week, to be safe.

Paseo and Dot's Delicatessan are up the street from Brouwers. They both make killer sandwiches.

Capitol Hill and Belltown have some cool bars.

My personal favorite is Tavern Law in Capitol Hil, they make a lot of fantastic old-school cocktails, but they're a bit pricey. I like Clever Bottle in Belltown. Pine Box in Cap Hill. Taphouse downtown if you want a (very) wide beer selection.

Taphouse has serious issues with dirty tap lines. Avoid like the plague. If you're downtown and want a good beer, Collins Pub and Elysian Fields are better options. Or walk a bit further and go to Brave Horse.

Good to know! Haven't been to Taphouse in a while, luckily. Brave Horse is another good one. You guys can hit up Buckley's or The Ram if you want to catch the tournament games.

And Revel is around the corner - Korean "street food" i.e., quite fancy take on broadly asian/Korean flavors and amazing cocktails. http://www.revelseattle.com/

On my way to work (2-3 miles from my apartment) I saw two accidents. Seattle drivers really can't handle snow, aye?

No, those crashes were them unable to handle either rain or merging.

So I woke up to this:



only 6 minutes late to work though, not a big deal. I'm up in the convergence zone, it was coming down pretty good.

Still in Kansas, where we have been under snow for months, though not constantly.

Very amused to see the snow responses in here.

Once I move up there I won't belittle those who are less experienced with water in this third form.

The news coverage here is hilarious when it comes to snow. I'm a native, but I know that our response to snow is ridiculous.

I loved it. If you want "real" Korean, go north on 99. But if you want a good, loud, fun, date korean place, this is it.

It's really good, and I generally hate everything that even smells of a something that rhymes with 'fusion'.

Liberty on Capitol Hill is also a great place for cocktails.
