The Crab Pot



I am in Seattle for the 2010 Dam Safety conference (view from my hotel window to prove it), and I'm sick of everyone making fun of me for eating at McDonalds when I go out of town (like when I was in China)... so I decided to go with my co-worker Brandon to the Crab Pot. You may have seen this on Man vs. Food on the Travel Channel - I remember seeing it and thinking I would through up if some one dumped a bowl of seafood on my plate. Anyway.... I tried it and it turns out snow crab is delicious! The shrimp was equally delicious - but I could not bring myself to try the mussels.


You may notice that our cups in the upper right picture has the smallest diameter straws I have ever seen in a restaurant. I commented on that fact to the waitress, and she just laughed. I think they were left over capri-sun straws - Brandon suggested that it is their strategy to reduce the number of refills. When our waitress brought out our refills (bottom right picture) they were in pitchers with huge straws. She earned her tip.
