I am out of work - and a big fucking argument about unemployment

tell me, Dom, what I am missing

what a bunch of fucking yuppisssyies

How about they try doing something smart and allowing "light" orders?

I'd gladly pay half price for a half portion.

I'm so sick and tired of having to dish out big $$ for "extra" food that I am forced into taking home to "justify" paying out that exorbitant sum.

Why can't restaurants pull their head out of their ass and just serve smaller portions for less price?

And the other recent trend I'm sick of... seeing Appetizers that are as much or more than entree items.

Aren't appetizers supposed to be a half portion for half the price also? Appetizers used to be $2.50 to $7.00.. they were supposed to whet your appetite! I laugh every time I see a menu that has only expensive appetizer options.

What a joke!

13 Coins has the Best. Eggs Benedict. Ever. I don't even like the dish normally, and I'll happily order it there.

Have to agree about the Eggs Benedict.

Nothing like having someone from the Broadway Grill come in to transform your restaurant from serving overpriced, bland food. Wow Broadway Grill. Are the waiters now flippant and saunter around the dining room too?

@ 5) Yeah, I don't know what to tell you. Broadway Grill isn't a culinary marvel, but I guess when McGregor has the budget for increased food costs, the food's better. The servers were sweet. Like I said, I was shocked.

ooh gross, did you say a chef from broadway grill improved the flavor...btw, good calamari tastes as you described...there is a yummy happy hour at the bar in the triple door that serves the best half price calamari!

one of the coolest things I've ever witnessed was sitting at the bar at 13 coins in SeaTac and watching three cooks go fucking nuts - cooking and arguing. It was awesome. Despite the dbag protestations from a couple above, I really like 13 Coins. Good times.

Randall's the best waiter there, by far!

Whatever happened with that labor dispute Bethany Jean reported on earlier this year? Something about disappearing health benefits and picketing and stuff?

The calimari steak (yes, indeed - it's a STEAK) at the 13 Coins has long been a best kept secret... Melt in your mouth tender and absolutely delicious. It's been the only thing worth ordering there for many years now (I've never tried the eggs benedict, so perhaps I've been missing out). Good to know the new chef and management haven't messed that up.

Yeah, supposedly they totally screwed over their workers who were trying to unionize or something like that. My unionized workplace had posters up from the 13 Coins employees asking us not to patronize the place.

I'm still reeling from the admission that The Broadway Grill has an Executive Chef. Particularly love the $10 iceberg lettuce wedges and mayo.

Face it, you were stoned.

In that condition, a bag of Fritos would have done quite nicely--of course, 13 Coins would be manna from heaven.

Nope, Nappy, I wasn't stoned. That shit freaks me out.

Everyone! Richard is unemployed! Be considerant.

I don't think The Stranger should talk about anything that costs money until Richard gets a job.

Bible Study Time!!!!

13 Coins is awesome. It reminds me of Original Joe's in San Francisco. Great place to get a late night bite.

What's so great about the EB? I can't stand places that just pour the hollandaise all over the plate it like it's a bowl of soup, just a nice glomp on each egg please!

Many wonderful memories about 13 Coins. For years, it was THE only place to eat after midnight (or maybe even 10PM). Always packed late at night and always a little pricey. But the food was served up nicely and there were crudites and bread before you even ordered. It was Seattle's original bistro.

For fans of old Seattle, ya gotta love 13 Coins. And BTW, I loved the crab sandwich and the oyster omelette.

IN THE OLD DAYS, 13 COINS WAS THE BEST LATE NIGHT SCORE IN THE CITY ...

A VERY LATE CROWD, FOOD WAS THE COVER

ugh, you totally sold me with the thick strips of calamari, damn you!

It is pricey, but everything on the menu is just the right size for two people. Go dutch on something you can both agree on and you're doing good.

I was at the 13 Coins a few weeks ago and it was great. I like the one in SeaTac better, though.

A considerable amount of my youth was misspent there long long ago... fond memories... Joe's Special followed by made-to-order zabaglione!!

13 Coins is a Seattle institution, like Jazz Alley, or the Doghouse....from back in the day. My fondest 13C memory: best friend and I in high school going there once at midnight and eating at the counter and talking to the cook about how long he had to work in the restaurant's kitchen to earn the seniority to work on that counter (6 years at the time). I have never had a bad meal at the Seatac Coins. The carbonara's divine. Pay $2.50 extra to split it between two people... it gets a lot cheaper.
