I'm going down to Seattle to rock my inner nerd at the upcoming PAX gaming convention, and as a treat I want to eat ridic large food.
eg.
12egg omelet (2nd item on the list)

I'm looking for food challenges or really awesome places to have lunch / dinner.
Goal: Set a deadlift provincial record in mens junior.
Im in seattle about every two years ( I have family there ) but I cant remember any of the places I ate out their. In pikes market their is a good hotdog place a couple doors down from the first star bucks, and there is a lil shop inside pikes market that makes fresh donuts ( small donut wholes ) that are pretty good. Dicks burgers were ok, had better though...
Success is achieved by doing a little more than you thought you could, and a lot more than anyone else.
"Apparently that wasn’t enough for Denny, though. Just last year, he introduced the 123-pound burger. That’s not a typo. One hundred and twenty-three pounds. It’ll set you back $379, but you get 80 pounds of meat, a pound of lettuce, ketchup, relish, mustard and mayo, 160 slices of cheese, five onions, 12 tomatoes, two pounds of banana peppers, 33 pickles and, of course, a 30-pound bun."
...Wow.
Try the Crab Pot down in the Pikes Market area. Paper on the table, no plates, just a bib and a napkin. They dump a bowl of food on the table and you dig in - Crab, sausage, corn, potatoes, etc. It's messy as hell but worth it and a buttload of calories and wash it down with Widner's Hefeweisen at @ 600 calories per pint!
I guess I'm a geek just for knowing what PAX is. Have fun there.

I've been in the Seattle area for the past year. Go here (Kirkland location as I think the Redmond one is closed) for breakfast and get the cinnamon roll french toast:

Cinnamon roll split in half and fried. I'm a pretty big eater and I dont think I've ever finished it. Damn good.

We tend to think of Sisyphus as a tragic hero, condemned by the gods to shoulder his rock sweatily up the mountain, and again up the mountain, forever. The truth is that Sisyphus is in love with the rock. He cherishes every roughness and every ounce of it. He talks to it, sings to it. It has become the mysterious Other. He even dreams of it as he sleepwalks upward. Life is unimaginable without it, looming always above him like a huge gray moon. He doesn’t realize that at any moment he is permitted to step aside, let the rock hurtle to the bottom, and go home.
