Two-Block Radius / Chow / Life What's Really Good in Seattle Right Now

A cup of coffee, a glass of Irish whiskey, one cheeseburger, and one basket of fries at Unicorn. The bar is nearly empty, the music is good, and the burger is the perfect size: big enough to satisfy, but not some excessive, gloppy mess that's difficult to eat. And the fries are "house-cut" but still thin enough to fry (double-fry?) up nice and crispy.

Just in case you were wondering.

(p.s. Certain persons—well, the only two persons—at the bar are very excited that today is Miley Cyrus's 18th birthday. "It's Miley Day!" one yells. "Miley goes legal today!" someone else yells. I do not have strong feelings about this subject.

Then another conversation about the bartender, who was sledding last night. Her: "Me and Denny Hill were getting intimate last night!" Man at bar: "Who's Denny Hill?")

And just now I was reading somebody whining about the city government's failure to use unbridled chemical and nuclear technology to de-ice the roads lest some poor, innocent, blameless heart attack patient have their odds of survival slightly reduced by a slower emergency response.

I guess the math says that decreasing your heart attack risk 40% by foregoing a few minutes gastronomic entertainment is unacceptable. Increasing a heart attack victim's survival chances by 3% at the cost of contaminating our freshwater and diverting city budget dollars away from human services is not only acceptable but mandatory.

Just throwing that out there.

Oh, just eat some oatmeal for breakfast and lay off the salt and fat and you'll be right as rain.

Please stop discussing my internal organs in Slog comments.

It could be worse, Brendan. You could be like Christopher, drawing comments about his external organs.

Prepare for the diarrhea onslaught after your magical lunch.

The vegan chili (but with delicious not-vegan cheese and sour cream on top) at the Unicorn is my favorite thing ever. This will be the first day in 4 that I won't have some.
