The Seattle Foodie 100
See All Lists
1. Bis on Main
So the most recent object of my attention was no. 69 on the Seattle Foodie 100 Challenge; the steak frites at Bis on Main. This list supposedly lists the 100 best dishes in town, and to this point it has been spot-on. In this particular instance?

2. 35th Street Bistro Restaurant
So I promised Leia that I would have breakfast with her this past Saturday. That deadbeat boyfriend of hers was off galavanting about the galaxy with his gigantic Teen Wolf wannabe friend doing Palpatine knows what, and she was lonely. Besides, I…More »

"I don't wait in line. Do you know who I am?!"

I had a very good day eliminating members of the Rebellion hiding in Seattle today (I simply gave them keys to a car and told them there was a…More »

American (Traditional)

Had reservations there Monday at 5:30. Unfortunately, the Tie Fighter got stuck in traffic due to wind, and it took over 2 hours to get from Bellevue to downtown Seattle. Fortunately Mrs. Darth made it there in a timely fashion.
Upon arriving, I was…More »
5. Turkish Delight
It seems the Rebellion has taken some time off for the Christmas holiday, which has left me with some free time. As such, I decided to knock out some more of the Seattle Foodie 100 list (I'd link to it, but the Facebook app has mysteriously stopped…More »

Little known fact: Darth spent 4 years living in Boston. How do you think I mastered the fine art of being such a bastard? So when I saw not one but two places that advertised clam chowder in Washington for the Seattle Foodie 100 list, let's just…More »
7. Cinnamon Works
"Luke?"
"Yes, Leia?"
"I think I've come up with a new way to overthrow dad"
"Oh, how's that?"
"OK, this is gonna sound kind of crazy, but hear me out. How about we make him....diabetic? We're in a galaxy long ago and far, far, away. He'll never be…More »

I'm stingy with my 5's. What can I say? I have exacting standards. Being feared all throughout the galaxy tends to breed high levels of expectations. Expectations that can seldom be met.
You will note the amount of stars above this review. My…More »

They should rename this food truck "Hallava Time Trying to get Falafel".
FOUR TIMES I trekked clear across town to this place to knock it out of my Seattle Foodie 100 list before I finally found them open. The first time I showed up I was admittedly…More »

Next up on the Seattle Foodie 100 tour was a lamb gyro from Mr. Gyros. It's located in kind of a sketchy part of town (the Deathstar was greeted by a sign stating a lot of smash and grabs had been happening in the parking lot - and just to…More »
12. Café Nola
I've been trying to figure out a way to justify giving this place a 4. I hate giving out 5's. People will start to think I'm soft. Then I'll have to start Force Throwing them into traffic, off of skyscrapers, out into Elliot Bay, choking people in…More »

Next up on the Seattle Foodie 100 quest came courtesy of Red Fin Sushi, over at 6th and Stewart.

This is more of a placeholder review. 3 Deathstars might not be fair, but neither was me driving clear across town in traffic to go try their pumpkin cream puff only to find they won't have any more in stock for another 9 months. If you're…More »

Seattle, WA 98105
(206) 632-5125
True story: My first time hearing about/experiencing this place was as the guest of the world's richest man (and his security detail) during a period of time that he and the other captains of industry with way too much money were busy dropping their…More »
16. Island Soul Caribbean Cuisine
Life is full of instances where you're forced to do things you don't necessarily want. I wanted to be a pod racer, mom wanted me to be a Jedi. I wanted a Probot attack droid so I could beat up people who wanted to make fun of my haircut, but all I…More »
17. Ezell's Famous Chicken
Seattle, WA 98122
(206) 324-4141
3 Clone Soldiers walk into a bar. The bartender takes one look at them and asks them what they want. They all reply in unison "Nothing. We're clones".
Didn't crack a smile at that? Giving your screen a look of "Really, Vader, really?" right now?…More »

The original New Year's Eve plan was to spend dinner at a different locale, but they had some stupid "no hats" policy, and no matter how much I told them helmets aren't hats, they weren't buying it. Screw that bag, the helmet is what makes the…More »

Next up off the Seattle Foodie 100 list was "rye" from Three Girls Bakery.
So there are a couple of problems with this list item. For one, this place has like 4 kinds of rye. Which one is the list item? The world will never know. For another, it's…More »

Categories:
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt,

Neighbourhood: Roosevelt
Knocked another item off the Seattle Foodie 100 list not too far back, a vanilla cone at Peaks Frozen Custard.
There's an inherent problem with going out for ice cream like materials in the dead of winter. For one, none of the Stormtroopers want to…More »

I remember seeing this place on the Foodie 100 List with their salmon trio and thinking it was quite ambitious. 3 different kinds of salmon. Cooked 3 different ways by necessity. Getting all 3 right and without being dry has to be next to an…More »

I admit it: I was so looking forward to checking this item off the Seattle Foodie 100 quest list that I only killed 24 people on the day leading up to my visit. I love me some hot pot.

Categories:
Seafood,
Fast Food,
Fish & Chips
Neighbourhood: Downtown
A 3 might be excessively generous for this place, but I'm in a good mood. Finally got some curtains for Dark Side HQ, so I can start waltzing about naked through the area again. That codpiece really chafes, you know.
Anyhow, as to this place: It's…More »
27. Matt's In The Market
Catfish? What the Ord Vaxal do I know about Catfish? Catfish is best understood by people from the South. Look at my outfit. It's thick, and it's all black. Christ, there's a cape! Do I LOOK like I come from the South? I'd melt down there.…More »

29. Icon Grill
Decided at the lasts minute(5:30) to knock another item off the Foodie 100 list this evening.
Canlis? Booked. Bizarro Cafe? No guarantee of seating. Stumbling Goat? How to Cook a Wolf? No seating until NINE? But we're hungry now! Geez, did I…More »

I think I've figured out the system by which the Foodie 100 list was compiled: It was created on a point system by which points were awarded based on inconvenience. Things like having to stand in line for long periods of time to get the food…More »

Creperies,

One day, I'll figure out the rationale for restaurants around here, which are notoriously low margin and in need of every spare nickel they can get, and their obsession with not being open every day. Especially weekdays.

Joy, I *know* full well you're the one responsible for adding Le Pichet's contribution to the Foodie 100 list to the list. And mark my words, I will have my vengeance. A chicken liver terrine? Really?
Anyhow, it was on the list, and I'm doing…More »

After the spectacular FAILURE that was the Moonlight Cafe and their item on the Foodie 100 list, I took the Deathstar to a much-needed stop-off to a place that understood the concept that meat is good. Decided to make it a double and knock off…More »

Say it with me now: Faux beef is NOT beef.
Repeat it again: Faux beef is NOT beef!
The closest a Sithlord comes to being a vegetarian is to eat an animal which at one time ate vegetables. That's it. For all the talking from vegetarians about how…More »

Categories:

Neighbourhood: Fremont
I admit it: I saw the Italian Grinder from Royal Grinders on the Foodie 100 list, and I was skeptical. I've come to the realization that geographically relevant sandwich offerings from other cities don't stretch to Seattle in many cases. By that I…More »

(206) 324-3160
If you're planning on going to Pomodoro to try their supposedly famous Ravioli De Hummus Y Trufa (the old no. 31 on the Seattle Foodie 100), you'd better do it quick: There's a "For Lease" placard above the sign for their restaurant, and it's not…More »
40. Michou
So the Lady Vader and I went to knock another item off the Foodie 100 list, choosing the Sierra Chicken Sandwich from Michou Castellino's. Which, according to Google Maps, TomTom, Yoda, and a search engine, indicated was right next to Pike Place.…More »
