Chow Recommended!
Posted by Bethany Jean Clement on Fri, Jan 29, 2010 at 12:33 PM
Lindy, Dave Schmader, and I all spent one day recently eating each and every meal (plus coffee and cocktails) based solely on the recommendations of random people on Seattle streets. Lindy started in West Seattle, Dave downtown, and I began (and remained) in Ballard. (No one in Ballard will ever send you out of Ballard to eat, and for good reason: Ballard's got great restaurants. One of the new fancy ones I got sent to wasn't that great, but...)
Here's "Recommended!" or, what happened to each of us when we entrusted our stomachs into random strangers' hands.
Also: Would you like Lindy or Dave (vegetarian!) or me to recommend a restaurant to you? (Or tell you where to buy Inca Cola or a king cake?) We are at your service over in Questionland.
It is now time for lunch. Right now I'm recommending the trout at Cafe Presse. I know we've gone crazy about Cafe Presse plenty in the past, but trust me: The trout (new on the menu) is goddamn fantastic. (And the mushroom-pear soup is back, too.)
- Not Recommended!: McDonald's coffee, as experienced by Lindy West.
