drat near every Asian place up here is labeled as a "Teriyaki" establishment and it's weird as gently caress.

I mean, they're still good, and it's perfectly fine, but why call it Teriyaki?

Korean places use that term a lot in their titles. Round eyes must feel safe with that word.

Two or three of the items on the menu taste quite good. That's not enough to make it worth the price, though, considering two or three items on practically any menu of any restaurant anywhere probably taste pretty good, and good cheap chinese food is pretty widespread.

Going to a pf changs for chinese food is excusable if your only other chinese food choices are horrible, but in any sizeable city there's gonna be better choices, and in places like Oakland and Vegas, there's tons of much better choices.

Maybe Mark just likes the atmosphere?


Can confirm there are teriyaki places everywhere around seattle, but that's because teriyaki owns. Some also do sushi or something else as well. But it's not like a pho place will call themselves a teriyaki place.

Good morning!
Yeah it's kinda weird, I'm from Washington but live out east. You don't see teryaki joints out here. Think it's mostly shorthand for cheap Japanese food. The Chinese and Korean (and of course Vietnamese) restaurants don't typically use that word, from what I remember.

:same: When I went to WWU there was a place down the street named Super Teryaki, mismatched furniture and bare linoleum floors but delicious cheap teryaki chicken. County closed it down after it was cited for more health code violations than the kitchen at the county jail. Quietly reopened as Super Duper Teryaki, new furniture and a slightly different menu. Not. As. Good.

Another thing that I had to leave before I realized it was a NW thing: drive through coffee stands, eeeeeverywhere.

Teriyaki is a Japanese word and technique, that's probably why. It's sort of mind boggling to me that any Chinese and especially any Korean place would use that word in their name or description. I'd be kind of interested to know why this is so different on the west coast vs. the NYC area.

Keep in mind that the first teriyaki restaurant in US was (apparently) up here in Seattle and it has become a staple for the region. That being said, the term is ubiquitous all over the PNW, even in restaurants where they specialize in non-teriyaki dishes.

PF Changs is basically Asian inspired Red Lobster of the west coast.

The cheerleaders should basically be like the ones from the Replacements, but since it's the NFL, they can recruit from the highest quality Vegas strip joints.

http://www.nbcnews.com/id/33003900/#.WH1LVFMrKM8

There's also a bunch that don't do anything illegal, but do advertise that the baristas are wearing only bikinis or lingerie. And even the normal ones where they wear normal clothes the barista is always an attractive woman aged 16-25

quote:

Three scantily dressed baristas were arrested Wednesday at an espresso stand in Washington state after public complaints about inappropriate conduct, police said.

The three women, who sold coffee drinks at the drive-through Hillbilly Hotties stand along a busy road in Everett, north of Seattle, weren't identified.
...
In 2009, five bikini baristas were charged with prostitution for allegedly charging customers $80 to touch their breasts and buttocks at a shop in Everett called the Grab-n-Go Bikini Hut. In July 2011, the owner and three employees were arrested for alleged indecent exposure at a coffee stand in the town of Edmonds called Java Juggs.
And in July of this year, a Snohomish County sheriff's sergeant resigned after he was arrested for allegedly abetting a prostitution ring at a stand called Java Juggs and Twin Peaks in Everett.

Unreleated, but a hilarious part of the same article

quote:

Police confirmed that the stand that was raided Wednesday is the same Hillbilly Hotties that made news last month when a 12-year-old boy was arrested and charged with holding it up at gunpoint. Police said the boy pointed a gun at a barista Sept. 2, emptied the tip jar into his backpack and pedaled off on a bicycle.

I'd be more worried about the burn hazard, there is a reason why most real baristas wear aprons.
