Comments on Skillet
Skillet sounds great.
But you got it all wrong about Singapore.
I have been there many times, and eaten at lots of the hawker centres there that Trillin talks about- and they dont all have 3 compartment sinks. The government sets up the food courts, and they are clean, with running water, yes.
But they are nowhere near as fussy or facist as the health department in Seattle. They just rinse off plates in cold water, no fancy sterilising dishwashers, and everybody cooks granny style-fast and loose.
And the food is amazing, Trillin barely scratched the surface. He missed the oyster omelets, the murtabak, the fresh fruit salads and smoothie type fruit drinks, the cold tiger beer, and a million other things.
If we had anywhere near as sensible of regulators as Singapore, or even Portland, there would be street food as good as Skillet all over town.
Food stands don't necessarily need 4 compartment sinks and hot and cold running water. It really depends on what's being served, where it's cooked, and how it's stored. Why are hotdog stands able to get around the requirements but not others?
Seattle deserves a proliferation of all sorts of street food. That a couple taco trucks and other "don't know where the hell it's gonna be next" mobile eateries are newsworthy is really very very sad.
can we get a bethany-translator on this thing? "Skillet...isn't away this week because they got shut down. Although they did."
fucking brillant, as usual.
Sometimes I want to gag when one of the staffers/all of the staffers find something they like and report on it ad nauseum
But I haven't tried it Skillet yet so who's to say. I did, however, see it parked behind The Old Peculiar last week and felt like it was a celebrity sighting
What, no Fremont stop?
