Can we get any stupider?

Take THAT, hamburger!


(Dunno about Harborview; never been in that one.)

I'm pretty well paid, but i don't make that kind of money . . .

Well, as a conneseur of late night dining and EMS lounges in Seatlte in the 1990s, I would have to say that Provdence, and Ballard Swedish win the munchy-olypincs.

Good food in Ballard? Wonders never cease.

Yeah, sure youbetcha!

I used to practice at the WKA dojo in Ballard, right across from a Safeway, and my usual "treat" after two and a half hours of sweating, slipping, and being bruised, was some of that awful, unhealthy, sodium laden deli "Chinese" food. Strange I never actually lost weight, eh?

Very strange. Thinking about the food, there -- I realized that I just maligned the Italian place on 15th Ave. The linguine alla funghi -- mmmm. And the bread pudding, made with ciabatta -- damn fine. Sorry, Italian place on 15th Ave between 60th and 65th, with the totally unremarkable name which I never did and never will remember.

I think I know the place you are talking about! I can't for the life of me remember the name! I'll email my ex, who remembers everything and see if he knows the name of it!

It something hideously banal -- La Bella or some such. Fine food, at least in the last couple of years.
