You've got to be fucking kidding me. So everyone in this city really is eleven years old? And your craving for gigantic portions of milk products is insatiable. You wash this down with a venti caramel latte, I assume?

I move that the USA be stricken from the rolls of civilized nations and placed on the one of oversized baby nurseries (both the nurseries and the babies).

Why do you insist on hiring "writers" with no food knowledge, no knowledge of Seattle, and zero writing ability. I'm sure this "writer" appreciates the work between high school field hockey practices, but come on!

Ideally, patrons should be required to consume those outside, no closer than 30 ft from any building entrance.

There are some things that are best enjoyed as is. As with tater tots, keep it simple with french fries. Why would anyone want to put gravy on french fries? Just order a burger with your fries -- or some actual nachos with your tacos. Leave tater tots alone. Put some salt on them, dip them in ketchup or sriracha. Burying tots in nacho sauce just creates a soggy mess -- see poutine. Then you don't get the goodness that is tater tots or french fries.

My first totchos were at the short lived Greenwood dive bar "Pillagers Pub" probably back in 2009 or so. Certainly not healthy, but they were satisfying.
