The bacon at Red Mill is very much *not* freshly fried; it's been sitting in that gross pile all day. Why they think "we could our bacon hours in advance of serving it" is a charming quirk, I'll never understand. They make a decent, if overrated, burger, but ordering bacon on your burger there is a noob mistake.
Ezell's ain't what it used to be... Ezell Stephens isn't even involved any more, but he now has 3 locations of Heaven Sent Fried Chicken - and they're very much worth a visit. Lake City, Everett and Renton. Back in the day, that original Ezell's on 23rd was totally the shit, though.
@1 and @2 Portland has had naan burritos for ages. Let's face it: every food innovation we think of here in Seattle has already been done to death in Portland. We may as well just try to do a better job of what we already do.
I was thinking...why are there no fast food drive through Indian restaurants?
There are buffets, but you have to wait and sit down and ... blah blah
How about a fusion Naan Burger with a side of curried potatos?
Or Naan Tandoori Chicken Wrap ?
Do these exist ?
It's an absurd mix of mexican and indian with naan as the tortilla, but great!
