RIP or Don't Let the Door Etc.: Stranger Readers on the Departed Restaurants of 2010

Comments

1
Red Robin's fries used to have a peanutty flavor-did they once fry them in peanut oil? They're not quite the same anymore, but still good.
2
squid and ink is missed! xo
3
Artisanal, though not a Seattle restaurant, technically, is my most missed restaurant of 2010, with a second-place of Cafe Revo.
4
The Avila spot is now Satay and is supposedly quite good.

"If the kitchen staff isn't the same ethnicity as the food, run fast, run far." Ugh! Give me a break. It would be easier to name the few great kitchens which fall in this (racist) requirement, and the reviewer is doing himself a great disservice to limit his options so.

Too bad about Red Robin #1. It was fun to drop some 1966-vintage purple microdot acid and then eat there. Very educational, and almost right around the corner from The Helix, where it was also fun to experience acid.

The Pink Door is still in the alley. It will never go anywhere else.

I am still depressed about Chez Gaudy closing... the vibe and the Tuesday wine/individual ala carte plate nights will never be replicated. :-( Plus they were veggie-friendly!

R.I.P. Juliano's Pizza. I will truly miss watching that guy blast his ridiculous youtube karaoke and dance in the kitchen with drunk girls who stumbled in from the Baltic Room. Also, free vegan pizza day ruled.

vegan pizza? no wonder they went out of business.

Hey ERIC CARTMAN welcome back from your trip home to the midwest to visit your folks for the holidays. We sure did miss the "view from the cornfields" you give us.

The Lombardi's review outs the reviewer as a complete tool, as does the BluWater review. They attempt some kind of social criticism, but swing too wide and miss completely. Just general bitching (and who the fuck calls Ballard "the city"?

@11.. You've obviously never talked to a suburbanite.. Everything between Northgate and soutcenter, lake washington and the sound, is "Downtown".

@7: "I am still depressed about Chez Gaudy closing... the vibe and the Tuesday wine/individual ala carte plate nights will never be replicated. :-( Plus they were veggie-friendly! "

Yeah! I really loved Gaudy and the people there. I'm sad that it's gone, had plenty of great romantic/fun/friends dinners there.

@2 I wouldn't say it's missed... ;) I'm much more sad that RoRo that replaced it is looking for an owner. Damn good BBQ.
15
@7 @13: Ross is opening another place in the old Quiznos space...I think he misses owning a third restaurant ;)
16
You forgot about Rizzo's French Dip in Ballard. So sad to see it go!
17
I miss Txori. Hoping they will eventually find a home on Capitol Hill...
18
@17, they found a home in madison valley you fucking moron.

Please wait...
