We've been here a little more than six weeks and have eaten 44 lunches here and 44 dinners. Unfortunately, while most of those meals have been pretty good, we still haven't found a favorite restaurant. Some food we've eaten out has been disappointing and some has been pretty good, but none of it has been good enough or a good enough value for us to strongly want to go back. There was a sushi place that we liked, but with all the sushi places around, I'd probably like to try somewhere else next time we have sushi.
We're already looking forward to people visiting in a few months and we want to be able to take them somewhere that we think they'll really like, but there's nowhere yet that we really like. I think part of the problem is that to save money we've been eating at home the vast majority of the time so we haven't been able to try that many different places. Still, though, the places we've been to have been places that have been recommended to us or highly reviewed. Maybe we're just too critical when it comes to food and regular-priced restaurants don't cut it anymore. Or, maybe we have this memory of food tasting better in Texas than it actually did and nothing here can match that. I really don't know what the deal is, but I think we're going to have to eat out some more over the next several weeks until we can find a favorite restaurant.
We moved to Seattle in February 2008 and shared blog posts and photos during our first few years in Seattle.

as you know, I basically have the same problem. in our areas, we have like no bugs, which is an improvement over Texas, but the food just isn't as good as it is back home in Dixie. that's the trade-off, I suppose. maybe the bugs only hang out where there's good eats.
there's a reason people talk about southern cookin' and nobody talks about Seattle cookin', I guess...
No, food is just better in Texas. Cousin's, Uncle Julios, Mamma's home cooking :) - MOM
