What is your favorite dish/menu item in the Seattle Area? What dish haunts you until you have to go and get it?

“"When you wake up in the morning, Pooh," said Piglet at last, "what's the first thing you say to yourself?"

"What's for breakfast?" said Pooh. "What do you say, Piglet?"

"I say, I wonder what's going to happen exciting today?" said Piglet.

Pooh nodded thoughtfully.

"It's the same thing," he said.”

I haven't been in a while since we now live in W. Seattle, but even tho' it was my husband who always ordered it, we usually shared and I still crave Cafe Lago's lasagna. I never really have the desire to eat it anywhere else. I think it's because their tomato sauce is the food equivalent of crack for me.

The pomme frites at Cafe Campagne. I don't care about wether they have ketchup either!

BTW what's with the cute names for grit? Grits of Joy? Sexy Grits? I don't even want to think about sex and Jan Birenbaum on the same night!

…oh yes, and my old comfort food fave from that dear-departed breakfast favorite of ours, Cool-Hand Luke's - the Imperial Mix-up. Wow. I am a sucker for a big pile of beautifully fried rice, veggies and Portugese sausage. Has anyone had St. Clouds' version? I just read on their menu that they offer it. I'm afraid to try…either I'll like it and become addicted again or I'll be disappointed and miss it all over again. Then again I might remember that I have a life outside of fried rice :rolleyes:

Ok, I'm going to have to continue to extoll the virtues of Salumi. Due to a relative's concern over Mad Cow (isn't it mostly pork?), we had lots of assorted sliced salami/cured salty meats/sausage/whatever you call them left over after our big party last weekend - next to perfection in the dictionary MIGHT be a picture of a large meat platter from Salumi :smile:

So....we've been snacking on salami every night since and I now crave it, crave, crave, crave salami every day. Oh my. But the bag is getting low…
