First, I told him that it was going to be the most expensive, most unbelievably awful meal he would ever eat and asked if he was sure he wanted to go. ![]() and, honestly? Isn't the political discourse meant to tie this review into current events? This isn't a food review, it's really not even in the "food" 's a featured article that addresses relevant local politics whilst also entertaining with hilarious descriptions of sad-looking food. I had a mushroom ravioli that had the texture and appearance of tile grout, and a sad salad of half a romaine heart, left intact, drizzled with salty oil. What a disappointment to all when the food actually came though. We even liked the idea of us all getting to eat dinner together, included in the ticket price for the dance. Haha! I completely agree with the assessment of the food at Sk圜ity.I grew up in the area and the one and only time I have ever been there was for my everlovin' highschool PROM! Now granted, it's a completely awesome place to dance the night away, and is undoubtedly remembered fondly by all for the magic of the height and the unlimited trips to the observation deck. Seems like a pretty legitimate point to make.Īnd yeah, isn't it funny how the 'Defenders of the Needle', who have never been to this site before, suddenly appear in droves to defend (w/terrible spelling, grammar, and punctuation) the food, the family, the pending glass 'museum' project. And, oh yeah, those bucks are going into Republican pockets, and the owner of those pockets is now seeking YET ANOTHER Seattle-citizenry-subsidy for YET ANOTHER private-enterprise-on-public-land, that will benefit NO ONE but the owner of said pockets. And it's totally fair to point out that this restaurant is subsidized by Seattle citizens, and we get really nothing more than a good view from it, when we want to pony up the big bucks. Seems like a fairly sympathetic point of view to me. What in God's name has happened to reading comprehension in this country?Īll you pinheads accusing the reviewer of "making fun" of the Make-A-Wish girl: WTF _EVER_ gave you that idea? The reviewer, as someone stated above, is LAMENTING the fact that the food is so poor at this place, she is SAD for the girl that her big special Wish is going to come with some mediocre and sub-standard food, AT ASTRONOMICAL PRICES. The Wright family, however, deserves quite a bit more, in their attempt to hijack another piece of the public space for the pursuit of private profit. both sides were set forth, and my recollection is that both took some ribbing. I specifically recall the Stranger covering, with wit, a dispute over fois gras. as i recall, the Stranger rather likes to lampoon those engaged in such hypocrisy. Read as such, it's a comment on hypocrisy, not on politics per se. and to also point out that the owners, ostensible champions of free and fair markets, now want an additional public subsidy to build another private institution that, but for the subsidy, would not be built. my elementary school kids can already tell the difference between the food and the views.Īs to the politics, i don't think it's out of bounds to point out that a restaurant would fail in the marketplace but for the public gift of location. i take my three kids there every year to celebrate the last day of school. the reviewer lamented that what should have been a remarkable experience was stunted by the poor food. as they will become part of the disgusted foodie, I guess we can only eat fair trade grown brown rice after we check to see what charities and politics the owner supports, and make sure no one is present who is sick or dying. ![]() If you spent time around some farms, even the organic ones, you might be surprised by the range of political thoughts about zoning codes and environmental regulations. "A splendid blend of spices but thethe owners mom is a devout Catholic and supports Anti Abortion candidates. "A perfect crust, too bad they support Ron Paul". I also look forward to reading about political leanings of the owners of all restaurants that you write about in your future so-called food reviews. There is a whole style / series thing here that any editor can appreciate. Making fun of dying 11 year olds is so cold I am amazed it was kept in this story - do you always poke fun about dying kids, or just as part of writing about food? Maybe your next review could include folks with Parkensons having trouble eating, or MS cases with special impliments. I am always interested in legitmate reviews of food and food prep.
