Great article in the New York Times today about the ubiquity of Teriyaki joints here in Seattle, a topic of frequent discussion and confusion between me and Mandy (transplants from New York and San Francisco, via Chicago, a decade ago…).
Key pull quote:
“This is Seattle food,” she said, extending her argument. “For Seattle people. This is what we eat here. Seattle people eat teriyaki. This isn’t Dallas.”
(Raising the question, having been raised in Dallas, what by contrast is the Dallas food that Dallas people eat in Dallas? If I had to posit a theory, from two decades-old experience, it would be overly-greasy yellow-cheese-laden double chicken enchilada plates with refried beans on the side. Natch.)
