(I probably won't make it but DO YOURSELVES A FAVOR AND GO TO CAFÉ FLORA, SRSLY. -mjgiarlo)

I am thinking burgers. More info soon... (if you do not find a suitable burger joint, there are also some top-notch steakhouses in Seattle. Both the Metropolitan Grill and El Gaucho are delightful if folks are OK with $50 steaks. Just FYI, not trying to hijack your meat-up, Cary!. -mjgiarlo)
