The Dish

Since I go here at least once a week, I figured it's about time I reviewed it.  The Dish is my favorite brunch place in Seattle to date.  If you're wanting a cheap meal or something healthy don't come here.  However if you want really good tasting food that's not too expensive this is your place.  The specials are usually excellent which include different soups.  The regular menu is also excellent with my only exception, the corned beef hash.  I don't agree with their take on it.  The waitresses are the best in Seattle, extremely friendly and if you know them they're not above messing with you.  (They're also attractive which doesn't hurt).  Cash or check only which can be annoying but it's a small inconvenience for the experience.  I always go late so I can't speak to how it is during the rush.  

To sum up, go there.  You won't be disappointed.

I hate getting haircuts, really hate it.  Because of this I put it off as long as possible.  I finally hit my limit today and decided to deal with the dreaded scissors.  Since I've been in Seattle I have had three haircuts, one at Hair Company which was ok, one from Supercuts (don't ask) and one from my ex (really don't ask).  I just moved up the street from Babalouise and since I patronize the Tin Hat (http://www.yelp.com/bi...) and Slave to the Needle (http://www.yelp.com/bi...) I figured I would give it a try.  They squeezed me in with Donna even though I didn't have an appointment.  She was very personable and explained why she was doing everything.  I also enjoyed her conversation which is unusual for me at a salon.  I let her have free reign and am very satisfied.  Another plus it was only $23 sans tip.

Pretty cool hobby store, good selection of models, puzzles, board games, miniatures and other stuff.  Had to check my laptop bag at the counter and they had "candid camera" signs posted so that made me a little uncomfortable.  I can understand it though because I'm sure a bunch of kids go in there and the have lots of high priced small items.  They also have Simulacrum RPG Play every Thursday and Advanced Squad Leader with Puget Sound ASLers on alternate Saturdays.  I have no idea what those things are but I'm sure someone does.  The prices also seemed ok from what I saw.

Laid back hard drinking Irish pub.  Guinness on tap of course, not quite my scene but I stop in here from time to time when I'm tired of the Hat.

The radio station.  One of the best things about moving to Seattle.  The only other preset I have on my radio is KUOW.  With these two stations my radio and my ears are happy.

Halfway through a half-sleeve with John Fitzgerald.  Yes it's expensive, yes the wait lists are incredibly long but the quality is worth it.  The facilities are nice and clean with lots of cool things to look at while you're getting poked.

I hangout right by this place at night all the time but didn't notice it until I stopped by in the daytime.  The coffee was decent but I would not go out of my way to get it.  The copper Buddha statue on the roof is pretty cool though.

Went in here for measurements for an out of state wedding.  The guy was very friendly and guessed my height and weight almost to the T.  I'm not sure what their prices are like but the service was great.

Cool little dive, crappy sound system and grungy feel with a good beer selection.  Has a nice smoking porch outside with a great view of I-5.  Ok the view sucks but what do you want?  If I lived nearby, you would see me there often.
