Ever
been to Seattle? No? You are missing out. Great scenery, the Space
Needle, greenery, lots of asian influence and crappy weather. If you
don't mind gray skies, Seattle should be on your list of places to
visit. Oh yeah, they have a pretty cool ballpark too.
I used
to love sushi. Delicious raw fish wrapped in veggies and rice. These
days, I only eat the so-called California roll; all veggies and no
fish. Why? Have you ever seen raw fish under a microscope? If you
have, you probably don't eat it either. Trust me on this.
With a
bustling asian influence, I offer Seattle Mariners fans the Sushi
Dog. It starts with a toasted bun, fill the bottom with a layer
of cream cheese (this is a nod to the famous Seattle Dog, which is
nearly as renown as the Chicago Dog), put in a Hebrew National frank
(I would use raw fish, but see above), lay a row of sliced cucumber
on one side, shredded carrots down the middle, diced celery on the
other side, pour on a small amount of soy sauce, and the sprinkle on
kelp granules. There you have a dog that tastes like a huge sushi
roll, minus the raw fish (you did look up what crawls on raw fish
didn't you?).
This
is the perfect dog to watch a Mariners game on TV. If you are in
Seattle, SafeCo Field has some of the best eats in the league. But
since this is a virtual baseball tour, become one with the couch and
watch the Mariners toss the horsehide around.
Beer
pairing: Rainier Beer has been a Seattle favorite for decades. With
catchy commercials and a crisp and affordable beer, it is the perfect
locally produced suds with help your Sushi Dog slide down your
gullet.
