Slog - Comments on Late Lunch Date: Mortarville http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/05/late_lunch_date_mortarville (A few times a week, I take a new book with me to lunch and give it a half an hour or so to grab my attention. Lunch Date is my judgment on that speed-dating experience.) Who's your date today? Mortarville, by Grant Bailie. Where'd you go? This is a very special Lunch Date. It's actually more of a Dinner Date: last night, I went to Pike Street Fish Fry. They're only open from 5 'till "Late," so it's not strictly lunch, although I hadn't eaten lunch when I went there at 5:30, so it still counts. What'd you...

Frites: return ASAP



First and foremost, it's expensive.
The cheapest order of fish is $5.50? Fries are $4...I'd rather walk to Dicks or wait until my favorite hot dog vendors set-up tent.



Michael Hebberoy was quoted in Seattle Weekly as saying, "What I’m hoping," says Hebberoy, "is that when people walk in, your average foodie will notice that we’re canning and preserving vegetables and have whole fish on ice, while a drunk kid at 2 a.m. is stoked he can get fries and fish balls, or a grilled piece of steak."

It came to no surprise to see a few drunk button-ups from Quinn stumble over and order some fish.



Get off my stoop.
