places i am looking forward to trying after we move

josh expressed some concern about the restaurant situation in seattle. i will admit to not really knowing what it's like there these days. philly has a thriving restaurant culture, and some amazing food.

i think the seattle scene will be different than philly, but just as good in different ways.

tilth was rated one of the nyt top ten restaurants in the US.

french food isn't necessarily my favorite cuisine but le pichet certainly sounds delicious.

i like all of tom douglas's restaurants, so i am really looking forward to trying lola & serious pie.

steelhead diner, mona's, and cremant all look interesting

seattle classics, which i have never tried include: chez shea and il bistro

san sebastian style tapas at txori

we will have a whole new chinatown (oh, sorry.."international district") to explore & discover

and there will be bountiful noodle joints, thai food, and asian fare of every stripe

some of my old faves, that will be fun to try again:

the kingfish cafe (i "heart" fried green tomatoes)

marjorie & volterra (we ate at both of these places over various holidays with my brother & sister-in-law & they were both mighty fine)

a classic bbq joint: pig iron bbq

there is always la carta de oaxaca, which is exceptional!

even though the service was sometimes off, the food was always good at the boat street cafe

my favorite fancy veggie joint: carmelita

and let's not forget the sandwiches at paseo!!

it will be different, but i don't think we will go hungry
