Seattle Restaurant Week: Rumblings

After an action-packed, rally-proof, Japadog-avoiding, eyeball-biting weekend in Vancouver, we're back in Seattle for a short week. Because on Friday we are jetting off to cosmopolitan George, WA for Sasquatch Music Festival...hurray!! We'll be devoting a lot of blog space that weekend and the following week to recapping Sasquatch, with a variety of guest posts.

This week, however, we'll revisit our escapades of Seattle Restaurant Week. Over ten days, we ate at six restaurants:

• Avila: http://www.avilaseattle.com/
• Blueacre: http://www.blueacreseafood.com/
• Carmelita: http://www.carmelita.net/
• Spring Hill: http://www.springhillnorthwest.com/
• Stumbling Goat: http://www.stumblinggoatbistro.com/
• Union http://www.unionseattle.com/

Our restaurant choices were fairly random; in most cases it came down to what we were intrigued by on their menu. Some are brand new (Blueacre, Avila). Some have been around awhile (Union, Stumbling Goat). All are important fixtures in their respective neighborhoods. In the end, we'll rank them because...people like rankings? And statistics! 87.3% of all statistics are made up on the spot, so we're doing lots of statistics too!

First up will be Avila. You're new; we'll be gentle...ish...
