we might not be able to decide when or where WCRM will be, but this we can agree on.

As much as I'd like to try Cedar River Smokehouse, I think the 8pm closing is a little early for our crew so I voted Elliot Bay Brewhouse.  

For later in the year we should add Gordon's on the Green at the Foster Golf Links in Tukwila.

No, this is not some hoity toity watercress and cucumber sandwich place, it's great BBQ with microbrews and a big patio for when the weather warms up.

Someone better check, but I thought they closed.

I'm heading out in a few minutes to dinner at the German pub Feierbend.   I figure it'll get me in the mood for Germany trip planning.   I'll check it out for a future STN Seattle area dinner while I'm there, in case we need another future central Seattle location.  It's only a few blocks from Paddy Coyne's.

[katego]

i've been there a couple of times. wasn't crazy about the food. wouldn't mind putting it on future lists.

We thought the place was great with all the German biers on tap, and the smoked glazed  hamhock, I thought, was amazing.

But the place is kind of small, and way too crowded, at least on a Friday.   We managed to split a table after just a couple of minutes wait though.  But Barb kept complaining that the crowed noise made it too loud to hold a conversation.  

[Mr Sunshine]

Feierbend isn't just crazy busy on Friday nights...I've been there(well was going to go but it was too busy) on a week night....Tuesday I think.

[katego]

hey hey hey. poll closes tonight. git yer votes in.
in the event of a tie i will tip the scales.

[denydog]

OK, I voted, Cedar River Smokehouse, but Blue Moon Burgers, and even Elliot Bay Brewhouse (even though it's no where near Elliot Bay) look fine to me.

Yum Yum.  I can already taste the hot links.

[denydog]

Hot links sounds perfect!

[Stray Cat]

I can't make it by 6:30.  
WTF? They close @ 8:00?

The posted hours are till 8. I don't know how they are about getting you out the door on time. Anyone been there know how flexible they might seem toward lingering diners?

[greench440]

I've only been there for lunch but I can't imagine them shoving us out at 8:01.

[Mr Sunshine]

Hey guys...I'll try to give it a go to show up.  Works been crazy so who knows.  And no I'm not bringing the scooter to Renton....I don't think it'll make it.  


BTW: I never voted in this poll....I figured the people can speak since I got the place I wanted last time.

[Stray Cat]

I'll try and make it there by 7. I don't even get home until 6:30 at the earliest.
Merrily can save me a seat  

[greench440]

Crap, I'm out.  Gotta be in San Diego on that day now, and I won't even have enough time to sneak in a round of golf.

Bummer and it was your idea for this joint too.

[katego]

see you all there tomorrow?

[denydog]

Sure!  And it's likely I'll ride a bike since the weather will be about as nice as it gets around here this time of year.

BTW-  I switched the BMW's oil today to full synthetic.  The HP increased by 25%, the transmission shifts like an automatic, and the engine is so quiet you can't even hear it running!

(I just had to try and turn this into an oil thread.   )

The turnout was a little light tonight, but except for the good company, and nice ride to and from, those who didn't make it didn't miss that much.

The barbecue was ok I guess, but consisted of partially warm microwaved leftover ribs and hot links.  The hot links were sourced from outside (she didn't know where) and smoked on premises.  The coleslaw and potato salad were also ok, but I suspect came out of a larger commercial container.

Parking was on the street, but I waited a few minutes and managed to snag a spot right in front when I saw someone leaving.

I'm glad I went though.

[katego]

company was good!  very nice night for a ride, though mine was a little shorter than deny's.

[Mr Sunshine]

Sorry guys I couldn't make it.  I didn't get home until 7 and then I still had stuff to do.  Maybe next time!

Same here. I had to recruit Merrilee to help me to. Next time for sure!

[MuddDawg]

Sorry I missed it as well.  Been so busy at work I did not realize I had missed it until now.  I wanted a Hotlink too.

TMI! T - M - I!

[zzring]

I know I haven't been to one of these yet, living on the other side of the pond, but no one brings a camera? I thought there would be pics, that way I could envision being there.  

[katego]

what happens at SAD stays at SAD  
no really, maybe next time we will remember to take pics.
