Lunch at West Seattle Matador – Probably Not

by Mr. Daniels on June 27, 2010

Saturday, June 26th

Matador in West Seattle:  Ok… here’s the deal.  This was my first time going to Matador in West Seattle and honestly I probably won’t be back.  It wasn’t because of the food, the scene, or them being too busy or anything like that.  The bottom line; the bartender was a bit of a slime ball.  I know this might sound a little harsh but here’s why:

We sat down at 12:30pm.  It was a pretty bright day in Seattle and the restaurant was a little on the dark side so my eyes were still adjusting.  After we sat down, I saw the happy hour menu on the table and saw the times ” happy hour “4 – 6″ and “10 – 1″.  Since my eyes were still adjusting I didn’t see the actual Happy Hours were “4pm to 6pm” and “10pm to 1am”.  At the end of the day, I’m responsible for not seeing this.

Dinner at Duke’s on Alki Beach

by Mr. Daniels on June 26, 2010

Friday, June 25th

Dinner at Duke’s on Alki:  I had the Bacon Blue burger and I have to say it was pretty damn good.  My partner in crime had the Fisherman’s plate (I think that’s the name) and it was really good.  The broth was very flavorful and the clams and fish in the broth were excellent.  We sat at the bar and the service was good with the only glitch being the service was a touch slow.  Other than that, it was all good.

The Parkade, Dugout, and Jokesers Run…

by Mr. Daniels on June 4, 2010

The Parkade

Good times.  Loud music.  Their grilled ham and cheese sandwich is one of the best in town.  But then again, how hard is it to screw up one of those?  The kicker is that Thursdays is half beer and booze. :)

The Dugout in Pasco

The Dugout was  a little busy for a Thursday which is a good thing.  Good drinks and decent karaoke.

Jokers in Richland

Jokers was pretty good for a Thursday even though we got there at about 12:30am.  Oh well, whatcha gonna do?

The Cab Ride via Tri-City Taxi

I’ve got issues with Tri-City Taxi.  A while back, I emailed them for some info and received a “holier than though” email.  Last night, we hopped in a cab and it didn’t occur to me until after we were down the road that we were in a TC Taxi Cab…

Now, we’re leaving Jokers and heading back to the Dugout when we get to the corner of Welsian Way and Aaron Drive (right there at the McDonalds).  Instead of taking the logical right turn to hop onto I-182, Jack, our driver, takes a left towards George Washington Way.  I asked him why he decided to go this route and his response was that it was actually shorter than the other way.  Hey Jack!  I call Bullshit.  Granted, you only gouged me for an extra quarter mile but I can imagine that through the course of a night, these little extras make a tidy profit.  Yet another reason to NOT use Tri-City Taxi…
