It's funny how the position for boot-licking is so close to the one used for curb-stomping.

HERE IS A RECIPE: TAKE SOMETHING VERY SWEET, PUT AN INCREDIBLY SWEET SAUCE OVER IT, AND GARNISH IT WITH MINT. I HAVE NO CONCEPT OF BALANCED FLAVOR PROFILES BUT MY USE OF ITALIAN WORDS SURE MAKES ME IMPRESSED WITH MYSELF!

I was wondering what was taking you so long. Thanks for being so predictable.

You work at Nell's?

Oh dear, no wonder you're so precious. But hey, Dahlia Lounge got alot better after he took his pretentious crap somewhere else, so at least there's that.

Yup, that's the one. They were among the vanguard of the extreme yuppification of Green Lake.

That reminds me, when I get home in a few days and make the inevitable weekend excursion up to Seattle, I gotta hit Dahlia Lounge. Their calamari is the best I've ever had anywhere, period. And it's walking distance from the Five Point and the Rendezvous, which is an incredibly important aspect of any Seattle dining establishment.

We are currently on an intense search for the best Chilli Relleno in the world. We have located a couple of front runners!

Best one of those I've ever had was in Alpine, CA (just outside San Diego) out of some taco truck in the parking lot of a supermarket.

Best one I've had recently was at a place called Jalapeno's in Englewood, CO (just south of Denver). It deviated from the traditional preparation a bit, but was incredibly delicious.

And yeah, a good chili relleno is one of life's little pleasures.

We found one in Santa Rosa at one of the original Route 66 eaterys and another in a tiny (seating cap of 17) cafe in Colombus. We never have seafood due to Terris allergy to shellfish. I admit I miss it occasionally.

This thread turned out to be pretty funny, not because you gave me yet another example of your obsession with me, but because I USED to work at Nells full time. Now I only work there a couple of times a month. Can you guess where my main gig is now? I'll give you a hint. It's one of the three restaurants you named in this thread. Looks like I might end up cooking for you after all!

It still amazes me how small a place Seattle really is.

My-my-my-my music hits me so hard makes me say oh my Lord
Thank you for blessing me with a mind to rhyme and two hyped feet
It feels good when you know you're down
A superdope homeboy from the Oaktown
And I'm known as such
And this is a beat uh u can't touch

I told you homeboy u can't touch this
Yeah that's how we're livin' and you know u can't touch this
Look in my eyes man u can't touch this
You know let me bust the funky lyrics u can't touch this Fresh new kicks and pants
You got it like that now you know you wanna dance
So move out of your seat
And get a fly girl and catch this beat
While it's rollin' hold on pump a little bit
And let me know it's going on like that like that
Cold on a mission so pull on back
Let 'em know that you're too much
And this is a beat uh u can't touch

Yo I told you u can't touch this
Why you standing there man u can't touch this

I think if you took the beets out of this dish it would be an unbeetable winnar!

It was the beets that took out the little lamb...

Nope. Im at work. Also wikipedia says agnolotti is either named after its proported inventor or for the latin word annellus no lamb involved. Though i can see the similarity to agnus.
