Biggest Crab Roll I’ve Seen

Sorry for the absence recently but I went on a 2 week vacation. During my trip I went to a few really good places to eat. My travels took me to Seattle and I found myself in the amazing Public Market, Pikes Place. You can find all kinds of seafood, fruits, flowers, and crafts, in one of the best public markets I’ve been too. I was strolling around looking for a gift for a friend and just off the market I strolled across Pikes Places Chowder. What caught my eye was the Crab Roll. They also had a ton of chowders to try from. I love little places like this, and there was a long line to order…always a good sign. I got the Crab Roll and thought it was going to be crab in a small hotdog bun but I have seen lobster rolls like that before. I was pleasantly surprised to get a hero roll with a load of crabmeat in it. It was a really good and refreshing sandwich.

Port Angeles Washington was my next American port. It is also where they filmed the Twilight movies. There is a scene in one of the movies where Bella and Edward go to a restaurant and Bella ordered the Ravioli’s. We needed to get those Ravioli’s. The restaurant is conveniently named Bella Italia

I never expected to find great salami in Seattle. But, I am a big Batali fan and I figured he had to learn from somewhere. Salumi is an Italian cured meat shop in the heart of Seattle’s Pioneer Square run by Armandino Batali, Mario’s father. Armandino had a full career at Boeing as a process control engineer but after he retired…

Guten Morgen, Seattle!

Flying into SEATAC airport in Seattle leaves you with few options for some early morning chow. Asking the locals came through again when I was directed to this “frozen-in-time” pancake house with a German surprise.

I finally made it back to America but I am not home in New York just yet. I had to make a pit stop in Redmond Washington to attend our yearly Techspert Summit at Microsoft. We had a night off to go out and grab some grub. A few of us ended up at a mall food court, which had a ton of different types of restaurants. It had been a really long time since I had BBQ so I went for it at Burney Brothers. I was very skeptical because I was at a mall food court but check the video and you will see how it was…
