My Seattle culinary tour has begun!

So I came to Seattle this weekend initially because the cheap flights were an excuse to go to a series of Yankee games against the Mariners. However, since being back only a few hours (well, in the first hour really) , I remembered that Seattle has a great food scene.

I first took the light rail from seatac to downtown shortly after my plane landed, arriving about 0630. First we wandered aimlessly trying to find a coffee place. Katie then used Yelp and we found a target to shoot for. On the way, we passed by a bagel place and then it hit me - there are so many great foods here that I can't get in anchorage. Or rather, the anchorage versions pale in comparison. So after eventually finding Seattle Coffee Works (next to the Green Tortoise hostel), we finally got the chance to catch up over a very nice latte. Afterwards, we wandered back over to the bagel shop and took a glance at the variety. Most intriguing was the French toast bagel, which looked like a cinnamon bagel maybe with sugar and egg in there somehow? It looked delicious but I had to focus. I've found that only good bagel shops have salt bagels, and that only the best bagel shops have great salt bagels. Well, this one, eaten while walked down the street did not disappoint. Katie's everything bagel was pretty good too, with just the right toasted onion crunch and flavor. Yum. I hope to go back on my last day and get a dozen to bring home.
