Angela Garbes FTW. La Botana is a favorite. There's some great stuff just a block or two away from that block, too -- Seattle's best gyros and barbecue, frinstance.

Bison is *incredible*

Not sure about the medium-well part, but it's like very high-quality, lean beef only tastier.

I agree with Fnarf. So much awesome food in that 5-block radius around Greenwood & 85th.

I told you there'd be floods.

The problem was you assumed I was mad at California ...

LOL at your books guy gaining access to more action than your celebrity hack Adrian Ryan ever did in his years writing "Celebrity I Saw U"

Yay, thanks for posting this. I often miss the articles in the printed edition. This weekly summary will encourage me to pick it up more often.

Bison is yummy.

I love driving to Eastern Washington, because I end up getting to have it at least once each way, no matter which route I choose.

Gotta say, Greenwood is a culinary mecca. But for me, the must-go places are just south of 85th. There's not a restaurant I eat out at more than Mr. Gyros. I consider their veggie plate a staple. I mean:

  1. Best falafel I have ever tasted.
  2. Best hummus I have ever tasted.
  3. Best baba ghanouj I have ever tasted.
  4. Best basmati rice I have ever tasted.

And then there's this charming, tiny Greek restaurant called Kouzina's. When I say tiny, I am talking three tables. And they're only open Wed.-Sat. evenings. And sometimes you might even show up at the right time and find that they're closed for catering. But the food is so good and the place is so lovely, it's worth the time and space constraints.

Between Mr. Gyros, Kouzina's, Olive You, Georgia's Greek Restaurant, and Northside Grill (Moroccan), Greenwood has really taken on a Mediterranean dining identity.
