Another hot, hot day welcomed me to Seattle. The entire Pacific Northwest is going through a record breaking heatwave. I can confirm that this is accurate and frankly, I want it to stop. Too damn hot.
Regardless of the heat, Seattle is beautiful. Especially compared to the desert you have to drive through from Spokane to get here. It took me about four and a half hours to get to where I needed to be and then another 30 minutes to find parking! This time, Betty is nicely shaded on a side street. She's content. The heat kept me in a while, just until it was time for dinner. My airbnb host suggested a couple close by bars in the Queen Anne neighborhood and her guest book on the bedside table confirmed her suggestions. I headed over to the Masonry. Let it be known that my favorite design aesthetic is factory chic, with exposed duct-work and low beams. Walking in to this little restaurant, I knew I would be happy. Also, the music is played out of a record player. Super cool. I sat at the bar and as opposed to my previous restaurant experiences, the bartender could not have been nicer and more accommodating. With a bunch of beers on tap, he made great suggestions and always made sure I had a full glass. It was probably because it was a Monday, but it was only him and another bartender taking care of the whole restaurant and patio (probably about 40-45 seats) and one girl in the kitchen cranking out pizzas. I was really impressed.
To go along with my good beer, I had great pizza. I chose the lamb sausage pizza- red base, with just enough crumbled lamb sausage, sliced red onion, crumbled goat cheese, a garnish of mint, and a drizzle of olive oil. I had no problem eating the whole thing. No regrets.
Because I was in such a rush to get to Seattle, I didn't eat all day, so by my second beer, my head started to swim. I decided to take it easy for the rest of the night and start anew in the morning. More in Seattle next time!
