Hi Mary Kate and Robert — Heading to Seattle next month to hike the Olympic Peninsula and meeting friends in town — definitely have Zig Zag Café on my list. Any other haunts you'd recommend for drinks or unusual treats?
Amy and I love Seattle Dogs and make them at home on occasion. We have not had any version with toppings beyond onions and cream cheese though. I think the key is for both the bun and the grilled onions to be hot, melting the cream cheese into more of a condiment consistency. (We recently had a Seattle Dog in Milwaukee and agreed it was not good — but the toppings and bun were not hot enough and the proportions were off.) For me, I put the Seattle Dog and the Flo’s Dog in the same category — unusual but delicious.
Can I say it? I’m so sorry, but I hated the Seattle Dogs we had. Both of them. I will keep trying but this was a shocker.
You can say it. It’s the first time I’ve try to regional style of hotdog and haven’t craved more of them.
I'm with you on the Seattle Dog style. I've experimented with a version for our cart and was never happy enough with it to sell. Just blah, IMO.
Ah, the Sorrento. We stayed there once and then I forgot the name. Cool lobby. Bateau sounds fun.
It was interesting. Certainly made us happy we ended up there and not at Canlis.
I loved Bateau and the Boat Bar next door. If I had more time in Seattle, I would have eaten at the Boat Bar too!

Great news about the hot dog stand for sale in Allentown! They found a buyer! https://www.wfmz.com/news/area/lehighvalley/excited-to-keep-it-going-nearly-80-year-old-hot-dog-shop-changing-hands-in/article_edcfc6e6-9f41-11ee-a65f-1f07f70944eb.html#tncms-source=Recommended-Content-IQ-(right-column)
That is good news! Thanks for letting us know.

Perhaps a good Seattle Dog still awaits me.
