“Peel your own” prawns – Anthony’s HomePort

Peel your own prawns - Anthony's HomePort
Six pack served with cocktail sauce. Happy hour $5
Anthony’s HomePort, Seattle WA

I don’t get people who are afraid to get dirty while eating. I don’t mind peeling my own prawns, cracking my own crab, sucking shrimp heads, whatever it takes to get my delicious food! I think it’s more fun when you get a little dirty while eating. That’s why I’m not afraid of eating ribs or whole crawfish in groups. But to each his own.

Sundance Kid cocktail – Ballard Station Public House

Sundance Kid cocktail - Ballard Station Public House
Rye whiskey, lillet, cynar, orange zest. $8
Ballard Station Public House, Seattle WA

This bar didn’t exist the last time I was up in Seattle so we visited it this time around. It’s actually a smallish space, but very cute and warm with all the exposed brick. They have a decent specialty cocktail list too. They could use another bartender though because it was very slow going to get any drinks.

Mmm, so good! The hollandaise sauce was a beautiful color and tasted amazing as did the thyme reduciton. The ribeye was beautifully cooked and of a decent size. This was definitely a filling dish. Noms!
