Frontier Room (Seattle) review ****
Okay, I admit it: John and I are both serious barbecue fanatics. As this is our second successful visit to Seattle's Frontier Room, we thought it high time we did a proper review again (the last one was on the phone company's now-defunct regional portal).

Pancake Chef, SeaTac (Garber review) ****
We discovered the place only recently, and have already become devotees. 
It seems that every time we visit, there are groups of friends who have chosen this special place as their private "club" and they don't mind "outsiders" so it's okay with us. This review also contains links to a wonderful Seattle-based site for those who love breakfast -- especially pancakes. And you are invited to write in with your suggestions of great breakfast and/or pancake places whose praises are yet to be sung!

Self-hating Seattle strikes at espresso elite *
The starting point of taxation is blame. When a government needs to raise revenue, it targets those who can be easily portrayed as guilty -- of making too much money, or guzzling too much gas, or smoking cigarettes or drinking booze.

The Cheesecake Factory, Seattle (Garber review) **** 1/2
