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
@mawr someday somebody will bring forth technology (or something) to let me eat gluten without problems and then! ALL THE TERIYAKI, YES. meanwhile it's on my top five list of things I miss, along with donuts and Guinness. XD
