Slog - Comments on "A Clam-Eating Event" http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/08/a_clameating_event According to an advertisement on the radio, Atlas Foods in University Village (which Stranger reader-reviewers hate on here) is having "a clam-eating event." Chow Foods, owner of Atlas Foods (and this place, and this one, and this, and a couple more) is usually better with the verbiage than this. "A clam-eating event" does not sound fun—it sounds like something that'd land you in the hospital. How about "contest"?

I love clams, and I often find myself enjoying foods/establishments that snotty bitches here in Seattle hate.

Basically, they're just Dennys with better lighting, prettier waiters and bland, yupped up American diner/bistro food...

You up for it Mr. Poe?

I hope they're Manillas as far as eating 100 goes. I've ko'd 5 dozen oysters in a single sitting. Full on raw oysters is a rare moment. They better give you a prize for eating 100 clams. I mean besides a glass of butter to wash 'em down.

Cornball @7, Juif, I will prepare them for you both...fresh razor clam cut from the shell, dredged in butter and flour/salt/pepper, lightly pan fried and drizzled in lemon juice. To your taste, sirs?
