P.F. Shame's

Alex and I like to walk downtown on the weekends and pretend to go shopping. We always say we are going shopping, running errands, pretend we have things to do. Usually after one store though we are both grumpy and bored of shopping. The obvious thing to do at that point is to get drinks and appetizers (In fact, I think this may be the real reason we even go downtown). In the shopping core of seattle there really isn't much aside from chain restaurants.

There's Gordon Biersch, which is okay and the beer is good, but this girl we call Azrael works there and she kind of grosses us out. It's also at the top of a mini-mall.

Then there's Elephant & Castle, a little more off the beaten path, but the appetizers aren't that good, although the beer selection is superior.

There's Von's, which as you can read for yourself is Not Recommended. As one reviewer put it: Pros: None, none, none.

Anyway, I'm delaying, the truth is, when we're downtown "shopping" we often feel the urge to drink fancy-froo-froo drinks. Which, for those of you that drink with me and know that my usual drinks consist of Coor's light, PBR and maybe some Jager, and Alex with his Sol...we're not much for froo-froo. So, truth be told, Alex and I have become "regulars" at PF Chang's. Yes folks, regulars at PF Chang's. They know us, they know what I drink, they know what we order. When we realized this over the weekend, it was extremely embarrassing. The majority of the other people there are tourists or Eastsiders, we totally don't fit in. Then again, maybe that's why they like us, because we're not losers. The problem is we feel like losers for being recognized at PF Chang's. Oh well, the vegetable egg rolls and key lime pie martini are excellent. I'm not afraid to admit that.
