Things I love about the Seattle area: Teriyaki shops
It's just a thing out here, like Taquerias in the south west. Privately owned shops offering most of the same menu; tasty chicken teriyaki being the usual star of the show.
It's the blue collar dish of choice for many out here; construction crews breaking for lunch in one of these tiny shops is just as common as office workers doing the same.
I think that's kind of beautiful, honestly.
@mawr I super miss cheap fast chicken teriyaki. I had a list of favorite places... nowdays it's too difficult to find it gluten-free; I have to either search diligently (and still take a risk sometimes), or just skip and have it at home. homemade is really good, but it's just not the same... :P
