This day is dragging for a Friday...Especially with some of the mixed numbers coming back on interest rates and consumer confidence......(I need a beer too, you hosers!)


Mediterranian is tasty (anyone traveling to Portland this summer ask me about Nikolas downtown....) I'll have to check out this place you are talking about...Mrs BigPoppa(BigMomma?) likes Pita Jungle so BigPoppa ends up there a lot.

What about Thai food? Siamese Cat (NW Price/Baseline) is so good. The newletter could feature diff bands or players or whoever going out and doing movie/restaurant reviews...

Mike, I agree - local businesses. Does that include excluding stip clubs that are really part of a chain? A little naked birdie told me that.

Typically when I go they run out of Anchor Steam by the end of the night. They don't stock many of them, or maybe... ahem... I just tend to drink more than a couple. So if you're ordering order early and often.

Hahahaha! Jesse, I knew it was only a matter of time...Maybe I'll change my member name?

Kristin, the Siamese Cat is really good. The Tom Yum soup, Pad Thai, Beef Curry, Garlic Chicken and cabbage (#103), they have this squid appetizer that is really good too. Tasty stuff...And you can wash it all down with Sing Ha beer...Very good, technically it is malt liquor so it will jack you up!

Matt and I went to Zakee's today. A regular customer came in and asked why he had gotten rid of most of his tables. I'll paraphrase his response: "I have no signage on the road. I have no storefront. I cannot make enough to cover my expenses. This has been going on for four years. I am closing."

Bummer. He was obviously burnt out and upset.

In the meantime, he says he might be there another year or so. I think he can't get out of his lease until they lease his space to someone else, so he's staying open to try to cover his rent. He's losing less money by staying open then he would paying on an empty space.

He was saying how he uses all organic food, and he pays extra to do so, and he will not use meat injected with hormones, etc. I also noticed there are several vegetarian offerings on the menu for you vegan types.

So next time you are about to piss away your cash at Mickey D's remember there is an honest, hard working guy at Ray and Rural who makes good food who would be stoked if you came in for a meal.

Let me add to this story -

This man IS Sean Connery. I always feel like I'm watching Dr. No for the first time when I order scwarma (chicken or lamb). Not only that, when we were leaving a bunch of gaggle-mouthed customers came in and shouted "hi Sean!" to which he replied -

"Hello".
