Ballard Bowl? I think you mean Sunset Bowl.

"Finally, Din Tai Fung in Seattle"

Seriously!!! How the fuck do you not know that University Village is part of Seattle. You guys should really be clear that the stranger only considers 'seattle' to be capital hill and downtown,

What @foobarbaz said. For real. Get out of your Capitol Hill bubble. Believe it or not, there is a rich and beautiful city outside of it too.

I eyerolled so hard at "Finally, Din Tai Fung in Seattle."

I would assume High School Nachos are round corn chips, with a scoop of meat sauce, somewhat like chili mixed with salsa, covered with a ladle or two of "cheese" sauce.
At least thats what they were in the 90's.

I was amused that you deride poke as "seasoned raw fish" that takes no expertise to prepare and is entirely overrated, suggesting that instead people spend their $15.00 at Rain Shadow Meats, which prominently features steak tartar at that price. Of course some might say that steak tartar is just 'seasoned raw beef' that takes no expertise to prepare, but then they'd just look foolish.
