  1. The oner that is that episode is how my wife described her anxiety and is the one that made her quit the show. Too real. The appeal is that everyone I know who has worked in a kitchen says it's like that exactly. Not kind of like that but exactly
  2. I can't decide if I want him to be the greatest WR in the history of the program or for him to never play a single snap.
  3. What a great trip. Not just because of the weather...Great great trip. Long trip review. Dinner at Walrus and Carpenter was underwhelming, but oysters were incredible - as was the crudo. Needle and Thread was a 10/10 experience. Can't recommend it highly enough. Make the rez, go talk to them and enjoy it. Excellent hour of time there and wish we had more. No menu, just a talk with folks and they make something for you. Rockcreek was incredible. I did the sea bass that was probably the best fish dish I've had in years, although it comically came with two giant fistfulls of basil/parsley and another giant one of dill. Wife got a trout dish she loved. Probably the creamiest grits I've had in years also. Great dessert too. Edit: right now they have a spend 150 get 50 off thing if you use the inkind app, basically attach your card to the app and pay with that (it's connected via their POS system Toast) which works perfectly. Then delete account right after lol San Fermo was one of my favorite meals ever. Perfect weather. Sat on side patio, perfect caesar salad. We split the king salmon and the bolognese. Maybe the best playlist I've had at a restaurant, wish it wasnt private. Tiramsu hit the spot per usual. Taylor Shellfish Oyster Co was the best (hand cut) French fries I've had in a decade. Oysters were great too, po boys were decent. Tolouse Petit wasn't my choice but the apps were great (bread, fries, something else I'm forgetting), drinks were strange, everyone else's entrees were good (mussels, tuna tartare, scallops, crab) BUT it was the single worst steak I've been served at a restaurant. Bad cut of meat but cooked well. Best service of the trip, but shitty owner and chef whose an absolute insane person (google it.) again it's not my choice. Avoid at all costs otherwise lol Hit up Lowells for brunch when we got there and had a great seat by window. Wifes crab melt was 9/10. Mine was mediocre but you don't go there for the food. My favorite coffee drink ever from a shoo was from url coffee - the walk to work. Idk how they make it even better with simple ingredients but it's spot on. Awesome locstion. Worth your time to go. Tried a bunch of different cortados. Monorail was the best, followed by Anchorhead. Rest were decent (Vivace, Moonrise, Victrola) - Ghost Alley in Pike Place was terrible. Avoid at all costs. Wife liked the iced latte from Anchorhead the most. Hellenika Cultured Creamery in Pike Place was excellent and the best frozen yogurt I've ever had. Can't recommend it enough. Salt and Straw lives up to the comically high bar they have set. Also did Bainbridge and saw some orcas. Worth your time to go. Columbia Sky View is the move over Space Needle. Pioneer Square was a cool walk but can be super super super iffy any time that isn't basically noon lol. We did a food tour of Pike Place that wife loved, I've done one before and this was way better than that one. Fremont Troll was cool. Walking around Ballard was cool. Discovery Park is well worth your time. Chihuly was cool but not long enough for 90 bucks. Places we didn't go but wish we had: Local Tide for all seafood, Bar del Corso or Cornelly for Italian/pizza, Canon / Doctors Office / Foreign National for cocktails, Post Alley Pizza for best pizza by the slice in town, Volunteer Park Cafe for a BEC and to explore the park, Seattle Jazz Fellowship, Mopop, Kerry Park, Cafe Lago, Salumi or Un Bien for sandwiches. Found Lyft almost universally cheaper outside of ride to airport - we rode the monorail in and that's the pro move. Like 3 bucks per person vs like 60 for Uber.
  4. if there's one guy left in the business who would follow a recruit in the bathroom...he has to be very high on that list 👀
  5. Yeah, long story but chef / owner reportedly took another job with a restaurant development group in Austin. Shoot me a PM if you have any questions or want any specific recs!
  6. Both also did things significantly worse than anything Max has done on track.
  7. Thx. On the list. Any other spots you recommend? Staying in Seattle proper this time. Thanks though! Timing issues stop it from happening sadly Yeah this is what ended up stopping me. Rather have the ease of sky view, and not the issue with timing. Plus wife said she's rather have the photo w space needle vs be in it haha
  8. More breakfast but… Mt Bagel, has an 8.8 on beli and comes reviewed highly from everyone Volunteer Park Cafe for BEC..kenji favorite in the city plus can go walk the park after. Someone with too much time scraped kenjis insta and geomapped it if you care: https://www.rajahamid.com/journal/kenji-lopez-alt-seattle-recommendation-map
  9. Quick check in for last min recs for Seattle. Headed there later this week and have done a ton of research (including from here) but always looking for new ones. Basic food plans are to hit up rock creek seafood, San fermo, walrus and carpenter, Taylor shellfish plus other misc spots. Couple of speakeasies. Usual tourist spots: Bainbridge, Market, Columbia Sky View, Chihuly gardens. Got a concert to go to as well. Have an opening for a half day to do something else and open to ideas in the city, no hiking this time...
  10. People today would have stroked out if Senna or Schumi were driving.
  11. Lawson is a fucking magnet for other cars. Was his youth career like this or is this an f1 thing for him? Can't wait for him to be replaced.
