![]() Congratulations, Tony-you encountered an official sanctimonious Seattle, um, duckhead. A guy pulls up next to him on a scooter to mock his ride as “a family car for the 1 percent.” Tony gives some sort of self-deprecating answer about mileage, and the dude retorts that his scooter gets 90 miles to the gallon, then zooms off. Motoring around in his Tesla, Tony for some reason thinks the traffic is worse than LA. ![]() Tony first started coming to Seattle around 2000, “It was Brooklyn before Brooklyn,” which is code for “lots of young hipster/forager/cheesemakers.” Aww, thanks for reading, Layover research department!Īfter a brief stop at Pike Place Market (“well-trod ground, but still worth visiting,”), Tony's at Melrose Market, eating mortadella at Rain Shadow Meats and downing samples of Dinah and other wares from Calf and Kid’s Shari LaVigne. Tony says it’s “described as a temple of biscuit worship.” Hey, that sounds familiar…oh, right! That would be a quote from our breakfast issue. “This is Seattle in an English muffin.” But he also gives some love to Nook in the University District. His first stop is a fried egg sandwich with Dungeness crab and avocado at Seatown. He makes wise about the name: “After you work at Hooter’s for two years, you hate yourself so much, you move over to Cutter’s.” Walking along the waterfront, Tony notes that the rest of the country is broiling (it’s July) and yet in Seattle it’s temperate enough to sport a sweatshirt. ![]()
