That Funny Thing Your Cat Did That You Totally Tweeted About Because It Was Sooo Cute Has Been Validated by the Library of Congress
How is that possible, you ask? The Library of Congress, our national repository of thought, has now archived every tweet ever tweeted since the micro-blogging website was created four years ago. You know… For research purposes. I for one greeted the news with a kind of geeky glee that I would FINALLY be represented in […]

Free Tax Day Food
Not much to chose from today tomorrow. Of course you can always find a McCormick and Schmicks and collect a $10.40 gift card and food specials, but that’s not technically free. What is free is the stuff that you generally only eat because you don’t have to pay. So, check out Cinnabon (since you’re at […]

In Which I Eat a Double Down
Yesterday was the national roll-out of KFC’s Double Down—a comestible we discussed several times on Blogtown last week. While I would have rather ignored yesterday’s roll-out and focused on my hangover, I’d already put my stomach on the line by asking you, Blogtownies, to look into your hearts and decided if I should eat this […]

We Won!
I say “We” because I could not have won Barfly’s 2010 Most Good Writer award without you. I say “We” because I work for the best fucking paper in the city with amazingly smart, funny, and talented people who inspire me to work harder every day. I say “We” because when I get discouraged while […]

Will You Make Me Eat a Double Down?
yeeeeuuurrrgghhhh Earlier this week I told you about KFC’s newest abomination called the Double Down, which is essentially a bacon “sandwich” between two fried chicken breast “buns”. I’ve thought a lot about whether or not I would eat this thing for you, Blogtownies. But then I realized that you may not want me to eat […]

Win Tickets to the Barfly Awards! Again! (UPDATED)
UPDATE: And they’re gone! Thanks everyone! I was beginning to get nervous about competing with Erik Henriksen and his ten loyal voters (no, YOU can suck it!) at the 2010 Barfly Awards. I was angered that even though he was not attending the ceremony, he steadfastly refused to give me his ten tickets to bolster […]

This Week’s Mercury Food Section: Burgers
In this week’s Last Supper, we get a bit excessive with Foster Burger. I wasn’t really sure what to expect when I headed into Foster Burger for the first time a couple weeks ago. The fact the place was headed by critically acclaimed chefs Andy Ricker (Pok Pok) and Daniel Mondok (late of the fire […]

FACT: This techno song about pizza sung by the gay European child trio Pizza Kids will get stuck in your head until you actually eat a slice of pizza (with […]

Double Down vs. Vegan Double Down
The Double Down, KFC’s new bacon “sandwich” on fried chicken “bread”, hits the market next Monday. Frankly, I feel it’s about time a national corporation has taken on overpopulation by offering its costumers a fast track to heart disease and death. Good on ya’ KFC! But outside of the hordes of self-destructive hicks and (lord […]

The Western Culinary Institute grad has been making quite an impression in Castagna’s kitchen, having recently also garnered a James Beard award nomination for Best Chef Northwest. Personally, I’ve heard nothing but […]

“Henriksen, Davis, Horton, Implicated in ‘Kitten Hazing’ Ring”
That’s what the headline would read if I had any proof to back up what most of us already know in our hearts: That my fellow 2010 Barfly Award Nominees for Most Good Writer are kitten hazers. Just one look in their eyes and it becomes clear that while, yes, they may know how to […]
