Mama Williebelle’s BBQ
(GOOD EATIN’) For all those hungering for a quintessential summer experience before Seattle plunges back into damp darkness, Mama Williebelle’s BBQ is the answer. Located on the lakefront at Madrona Park, this beloved seasonal food stand offers an array of great grub, including soul-food standards (collard greens, sweet-potato pie), a visionary veggie burger, and what Stranger writer Paul Constant praised as “the most amazing burger in the Seattle Metro area”: the bacon-sausage-fried-egg-and-cheese-topped Willie Burger. (853 Lake Washington Blvd, Mon—Sat 11 am—9 pm, Sun 11 am—7 pm. Through September.) DAVID SCHMADER
Addendum: Eating at Mama Williebelle’s BBQ is a good idea and it will be good tomorrow as well, but today’s Stranger Suggests is actually this fine event at the Baltic Room (please forgive):
Marshall Watson/Brian Go (MUSIC) Patrick Haenelt and Greg Skidmore’s Oscillate weekly continues its torrid streak of bookings with local tech-house DJs Marshall Watson and Brian Go. Gifted with impeccable taste, the two have done their research in order to bring you the all-killer/no-filler content discerning heads demand. Expect superior tracks from new and old dance-floor commanders like Booka Shade, Ada, New Order, Underworld, Wighnomy Brothers, Carl Craig, Speedy J, Alex Smoke, Alex Under, Trentemøller, and more. (Baltic Room, 1207 E Pine St, 625-4444. 9 pm, $5, 21+.) DAVE SEGAL
I get turned on by classical music - it makes me want to have sex.
I blame all the elites.
