Lunch at Maltby Cafe

Gregor — Wed, 29 Sep 2010 20:43:17 +0000

Right now, locals who are in the know about Maltby Cafe are all gasping in disbelief at the title of this post. I can hear all the frantic cries now, “Maltby Cafe for lunch and not breakfast? Are you insane?” Look, I know. Maltby Cafe is a breakfast place. Some would argue it is THE [...]

Siam Thai Restaurant – Bothell

Gregor — Tue, 14 Sep 2010 19:23:47 +0000

As you all know, I have a pretty strong love affair with good food and wine of all types. One of my lesser known food loves though is Thai food, so I was pretty excited when my buddy Kelly suggested we grab a bite at a place he and Lisa love, Siam Thai Restaurant. My [...]

Great Friends, Wine and Jazz

Gregor — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 18:48:00 +0000

This past Saturday at Pleasant Hill Wineries, we had a chance to experience a great trifecta of life: An afternoon with great friends (Kelly and Lisa and new friends Blaine and Carrie), tasting some phenomenal wine, and listening to some killer jazz. Oh, and some really good food as well. I guess that makes it [...]

Bourdain’s Roma

Gregor — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 19:31:19 +0000

It’s been many years since I’ve been to Rome, but my desire to return has always been hanging around in the back of my mind like some past forgotten love. Blame it on that damn coin I threw into the Fontana di Trevi. Anyway, because of this, I was really looking forward to the Rome [...]

Blue Moon Burgers

Gregor — Sat, 14 Aug 2010 17:26:00 +0000

The last excursion we took the boys on this year was a trip to Boeing’s Museum of Flight. Well worth the admission price, it’s a great way to kill a couple of hours or even a whole day. Highly recommended. And speaking of recommendations, we ended up eating at Blue Moon Burgers, the best burger [...]

Oregon Trip 2010

Gregor — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 20:18:55 +0000

While the boys were here, we decided to take them on a trip into Oregon. Typical 2 day trip, hit the coast then book across to the middle of Oregon for some high desert fun. Usually these short little trips are a blast, and this one turned out to be one of the best. We [...]

Crabs and Cruise Ships

Gregor — Sat, 24 Jul 2010 21:52:17 +0000

A wonderful day on Seattle's Waterfront. Pike Place Market, The Crab Pot, the aquarium, street food, and 500 thousand tourists.

Wild Vine Bistro

Gregor — Sat, 17 Jul 2010 21:31:10 +0000

As Beth and I were pondering where to have dinner Friday, I remembered my buddy Kelly talking about a place called the Wild Vine Bistro. Not ones to ever turn down a “recommended by Kelly & Lisa” place, we headed out, salivary glands at the ready. It appeared as if Lady Luck was dining with [...]

Bourdain is Back!

Gregor — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 19:21:50 +0000

Sweet mother of all that is tasty and good, Mr. Bourdain is back and I could not be happier. If you remember, I was one of the many who jumped ship from the Bourdain bandwagon when he decided to shill Chase cards. I called it The Death of an Icon. I was hard. I was [...]

Jules Maes Saloon – Georgetown, WA

Gregor — Sun, 27 Jun 2010 19:07:54 +0000

Stepping into Jules Maes Saloon, 5919 Airport Way South in Georgetown, is like stepping back in time. I know that’s a hell of a cliche, but it really is. From the massive old wooden bar back with solid wood columns supporting the top, to the old Rainier beer signs. From the cast iron bar stools [...]

Kafe’ Neo – Mill Creek, WA

Gregor — Wed, 12 May 2010 21:20:08 +0000

The Kafe’ Neo Greek and Mediterranean Restaurant sits along the main drag in the very popular Mill Creek Town Center. In addition to a fairly large dining area, there is a separate bar area as well as an outdoor patio. The interior is what one would expect of a Greek place: a lot of grape [...]

A review of Guaymas Mexican restaurant in Bothell Washington.

Sandbar Mexican Grill – Scottsdale, AZ

Gregor — Wed, 07 Apr 2010 21:28:00 +0000

Last week I found myself in Scottsdale for a day. After getting my car and checking in to the hotel I headed out in search of food. Well, to be honest, I was really in search of something to take care of the headache I managed to get on the plane ride. As luck would [...]

Soundview Tavern – Everett WA

Gregor — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 20:08:10 +0000

On a particularly glorious Saturday a couple of buddies and I decided to head out on our scoots for a bit. We met up in Snohomish, outside the Oxford Saloon. The Oxford Saloon is a great old place; cold beer, friendly smiles and history literally dripping off the walls. A favorite of us “motorcycle enthusiasts” [...]
