If I wanted it to, and I admit that part of me does, this could be the shortest review I’ve ever written. It would consist of two words, and go a little something like this: Expectation Reality But yeah, that’s kind of cheap. I’ll elaborate a bit. So Bruchi’s is a place that straddles that […]
The sandwich is a wonderful thing. From the majestic simplicity of the grilled cheese or the PB&J to the iconic BLT, torta and Cubano, cramming stuff between two hunks of starch results in everything from comfort food to art form. The Valley certainly has been seeing a boom in sandwich joints lately, and while many […]
A while back I found out that The Kids in the Hall were embarking on their first tour since 2008. I initially wavered back and forth about whether to go, but I still had enough money after returning from the Oregon Coast in March to pull it off. It was going to be my first […]
So, I’ve been sitting on this one for several months now, in hopes that I would have a chance to return and try some more things (and honestly, get some better pictures). It’s almost happened a couple of times but just didn’t pan out. Maybe writing about the place will galvanize me into dragging my […]
Deja freaking vu. I spent two hours on this post the other day, and when I went to publish it my browser crashed. Apparently whatever the glitch was that caused the crash was also preventing the auto-save from working, so the entire thing went *poof*. I guess I could have started over right then when […]

Last day (well, half day) in Seattle. Everyone was raring to get out of the hotel and cram in some last-chance fun.Well, everyone except Cousin It…Okay, I’m exaggerating a bit. After two straight days of constant walking, we were feeling a little sore, tired, blistery, etc. Mentally though, we were still mostly excited. Mostly. Luckily […]
Let me say a couple of words to you: Cuban Sandwich. Or Cubano, if you prefer. Picture it in your mind. What do you see? Myself, I see ham, roasted pork, mustard, pickles, and Swiss cheese, layered on bread pressed so thoroughly that the outside almost takes on the consistency of a cracker. It’s one […]
The Village at Meridian just keeps growing. I was recently invited to a pre-opening event for Café Zupas, the newest eatery to take up residence. It’s primarily a sandwich place, so initially it seemed a strange choice to stick it right next door to Which Wich, another sandwich chain that’s been part of the Village for […]
