For the Love of Food

So excited for Seattle!

So I will be in Seattle in one week!! WHOOT! Why am I so excited you say? Because I am a foodie. This the capital of foodie land, this is like foodapaloza 2010 for me. i anticipated at least a ten pound weight gain while i'm there unless i find some way to "work" it off if you know what I mean heh heh...

So I compiled a list of places to try. AND I am trying to devise a way to take back everything and anything food related that my heart desires from Pike Market. For sure it will be the Famous New England Chowder from Pike Place. So I think I will buy it frozen if possible, and put in cooler bags inside my suitcase. Maybe I can bring baggies and fill them up with the hotel ice machine? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated! For the transport and the food destinations!

Burgerquest 2010!

To be a true burger aficionado you must try the good with the bad, the fast and the fancy, the juicy and the dry. I always start with the basics. No fancy topping, just good ole lettuce, tomato, pickle, onion. I know it's so tempting to try the bacon- cheddar-blue cheese-pepper-mushroom... blah blah blah. But how can you taste the MEAT through all that delicious, yet fru fru crap? It's the meat people, that's what it's all about.

So in my quest for the best, I follow a very simplistic stratedgy.
I take the first bite with the complete burger, savoring every (hopefully) tasty juicy morsel. Then I pull a piece of the patty and pop it in my pie hole. (Say that five times fast) You know what good meat should taste like right? Well if you don't, well I do, so let me tell ya. Here's my current findings!

Also as my good friend Jules Winnfield says, there is nothing like a tasty beverage to wash down that tasty burger and stellar fries are always an added bonus.
