Tourista Part 1 -- The Crab Pot

Ben's mom and brother came to visit this past week, which basically meant we were tourists all weekend. This is what happened.



The Crab Pot has the whole We've-been-on-TV thing going for them, and I'm not going to lie they were packed. We'd been wanting to check out this place out for a while, at least to say we'd gone. Family gave us the perfect excuse. Besides I love crab and their Seafeast seemed worth a try if not a bit gluttonous. They have four types, each one with a little more added than the last--including expense. Then you order per person. For the four of us we settled on a three person Pacific Clambake. It was so much food. Definitely tasty though in a city like Seattle where there are SO many restaurants to try it's hard to say we'll be back. Though anywhere they give you a bib and a hammer has got to be classy.

Magic Made Them Disappear, Portland Part 2

We visited Portland this weekend and this is what happened.

We spent pretty much the whole weekend eating. Seriously. Hit a lot of the major spots including Voodoo Doughnuts. It's a must do as far as experiencing Portland and I'm glad we went though we probably won't go back again. Well maybe for another Memphis Mafia, but I'll have to ration calories for three days.

This box contains a dozen doughnuts.
Demolished in less than 24 hours.

Other places we ate in Portland: 
Brunch at Screen Door - order the Chicken & Waffles (best fried chicken I've ever had) and the Praline Bacon (from Jen "I don't even like nuts or bacon and this is delicious!" <-- blatant misuse of quotations)
Drinks at The Mash Tun - great patio atmosphere (kid-friendly)
Dinner at Grain & Gristle - order the Kale Salad (even if you don't like kale) 
Bruinner at Kenny & Zuke's Deli - (only Justin was hungry) order the pickle assortment and the weirdest latkes I've ever tasted, they were like huge hush puppies
Dinner at The HUB (Hopworks Urban Brewery) - Order everything! or especially the Pulled Pork sliders and the Pint o' Pretzels. There was much discussion on the brews so order at your own discretion
