Foodie Vaca 2011: Seattle Day1

A few weeks ago my husband and I returned from a wonderful 10 day vacation in the Pacific Northwest. Inevitably, when we go on vacation, it becomes a chance to enjoy some really good food everywhere we go. I'm going to be giving you a peek into some of the yummy food that we had over the next few posts. While you are drooling over you keyboards, my hubby and I are trying to figure out how to shed the excess weight acquired from all this fantastic food! :)

Seattle

Uli's Famous Sausage

This was are first meal of our vacation. We found this sausage shop at Pikes Place Market in Seattle. We tried a sampler of 3 different sausages: Nurenburger, Bacon sausage and a Hungarian sausage. It came with some delicious potato salad, pretty good slaw and a piece of baguette. Good first impression of great things to come at the market!




While walking up to the Seattle Space Needle, we found Yellow Leaf Cupcake Co.
They had a lot of really interesting flavors. On the left is a Canadian Maple Butter cream and to the right is a Cafe Orange Cinnamon. Both were delicious!


Saturday night we took a ferry to Bainbridge Island-only a 30 minute ride from downtown Seattle. The ferry ride was breathtaking at sunset and stunning coming back with the city all lit! We ate at the Streamliner Diner on the island. This was by far our favorite restaurant! We got to sit at the counter and watch the chefs prepare our meal (above)! It was so much fun and they chef was really nice! And the food you might ask? Oh, the food...

Linguine with a beautiful roasted garlic tomato sauce and chicken

David's fall-off-the-bone (and fall-off-your-chair good!), braised pork shank with polenta, onion, and sage hash...it was so good!!

And that was just Day 1.
