Two-Block Radius / Chow / Election / Drunk The Aching Head of the SECB

Posted by The Stranger Election Control Board on Wed, Nov 4, 2009 at 9:38 AM

Cheers!

The SECB ended up at the War Room last night, where it bought Mike McGinn* a Guinness and then drank a quantity of whiskey. On mornings like this, the SECB recalls, what is very best is a plate of eggs and a milkshake. But where to go (without, of course, leaving the two-block radius)? Charlie's sounds a little weird. Glo's—does Glo's have milkshakes? Maybe it will have to be a coursed meal, with milkshake at Bluebird, then omelet at Cafe Presse. That is really suboptimal. The SECB has a new initiative for Mr. Eyman: Initiative All Restaurants Have Milkshakes. Vote yes.

*Knock on wood!

Zeena's on First Hill may have that combo. At the very least you could have your eggs there and then head across the street to Jamba Juice for something milkshake-like.

Mae's on Phinny Ridge has a "Shake & Eggs" plate, available all the time..

Mae's Cafe (in Greenwood/Phinney Ridge). bonus: put bacon in your chocolate milkshake. IT'S MOSES.

Charlie's used to be decent, but it's been spotty the last few times I've been in there. I hope they get back up to speed, I'm on the verge of not trying them again for years.

Coastal Kitchen? I'm sure they would have a milkshake.

I don't eat eggs and I'm lactose intolerant (including cheese, even though I ate 2 cubs last night), BUT this sounds like a great hangover cure and I fully advocate Initiative 1042, Pertaining To Requiring Eggs And Milkshakes Be Served At Any Food Service Establishment.

Agreed on Coastal Kitchen.

And is McGinn being sponsored by the War Room? Good gravy.

@6 you ate 2 cubs last night?

Sorry, to hear that you're all dusty today. Feel better.

@8: Cubes! Of cheese!

What a typo.

Mae's is the place. If you get the mocha shake, ask for an extra shot in it. They tend to over do the chocolate (as does everywhere else).

@10 I was hoping that Baconcat ate bear cubs for dinner, or something equally as cool.

carry a milkshake from molly moon's to oddfellows?

Mae's is great.

But I'd recommend the Varsity Inn in Wallingford near Gasworks Park.

Dang, rich kids!

I slammed a bagel in the toaster and then got on with the day. Then again, I have a full-time job, and can't afford to go a-brunching on weekdays anyway.
