Delicious & Devoured: Fridge Does Seattle

Delicious & Devoured 
"Seattle"


As some of you know, I was asked to be the videographer up in Seattle for some very close friends of mine this past week. Everytime I make the trip up there I am always slammed with the most delicious food the city has to offer. This is partly because my friend is a fellow foodie, but also because that city has some of the best food in the nation. I realize the purpose of this blog is how to create meals with awesome taste while on a budget. Considering we are all human and deserve to treat ourselves from time to time, it's ALWAYS a great idea to spend that little extra when you're in a different city. You never know what you'll stumble upon.

There's always one famous staple I get when I'm up there, and it's from a spot called 'The Other Coast Cafe'. It's a hole in the wall joint with very little sitting. The walls are lined with posters of upcoming local band shows and other artistry work. They even got a water jug with glasses so you can help yourself as you wait for whatever awesome sandwich you chose to order. But for me, there's only one that keeps me coming back: The Rajun Cajun.

This sandwich is so good it'll make your head turn into a wolf and howl at the moon like Jim Carrey's character in 'The Mask'!



This hoagie consists of Roasted Turkey, Pepper Jack Cheese, Sautéed Onions, with a Spicy Salsa Mayo! The real hero if this sandwich is truely the bread it lays it's head on is to die for. They then TOAST it, in an actual oven, not the kind of pansy one you find at Subway. The outcome is really one of a kind, and the photo doesn't do it justice.








That's just one fine example of what this fine city has to offer. Below are some other places I suggest if you ever find yourself in the city that brought us Kirk Cobain and Starbucks.
