dinner +

[susandennis]

We went to a place that now I cannot even remember how I heard of last night for dinner. DiFiora. It was different. We shared three small plates - chicken wings, calamari rings and iron steak.







The steak was very good. The chicken was good but too spicy hot. The calamari was good but tough and spicy hot.

So when we were done, I needed ice cream. Turns out we were one block away from Salt and Straw which, because it was not Summer, did not have an impossibly long line. We popped in and got two pints of ridiculously delicious and ridiculously expensive ice cream and came home and ate it watching Japan beat USA with a storybook dramatic last bat (Pitcher for Japan pitching to his MLB teammate who was the captain of the USA team. Japan ahead by 1 run and US captain strikes out.)

This morning, we tagged teamed and made a fabulous bacon and cheese omelette for breakfast.

Now we are just being lazy and enjoying the day.

why is their fruit on the calamari

[susandennis]

Yeah this was a lot of that. But the other diners were pretty much all under 30 and mostly Asians so maybe they need fruit with everything so they can keep their skinny selves skinny. I don't know. It was weirder.

Also weird picking up a black olive only to find when you start chewing that it's a grape. My mind had a real hard time flipping that switch.

Super embarrassed at their/there. lol.

Weirdness. Not a place I'll put on my list. This trip I'm most interest in chain food and Seattle staples anyway. (DTF, Teriyaki)

[susandennis]

your back?? (hahaha their/there reference) DTF? No teriyaki in IL?

[seattlejo]

Yup, just through Saturday noon ish. Business trip.

No teriyaki in the Seattle style. Chinese food has also been a disappointment. DTF = Din Tai Fung

enjoy!!
