Good eats

Been to a couple great little restaurants lately. Bleu Bistro on Capitol Hill's Broadway here in Seattle. They have organic stuff mixed in throughout the menu and several organic beers. My BLT (with fake bacon) was mighty tasty and it's actually 2, count 'em TWO, full sandwiches. My buddy's mac and cheese was out of this world, the abundant garlic made it even better than out of this world. The design of the place is really hipster too with all sorts of seating areas stuffed in under stairways and tight little corners, it's quite a maze in side.

Tonight I dined with my friend Lisa from Grist Magazine at Cyber Dogs, specializing in vegan hot dogs accessorized with all sorts of tasty toppings. We had the "El Bandito" or "Intense Mexican Dog" as they describe it. It was a full entree and really tasty with chili, avocados, cheese and salsa. ¡Ay Toro!

Oh, and I forgot to mention that while in San Francisco last week I took my friend Kim's suggestion (who works at New Leaf Paper) and dined at a fab vegetarian/organic restaurant called Millennium. OH MY GOD! I had the warm spinach salad (with the Asian pear walnuts). The warm salad with the smoked tofu was such an amazing taste sensation. The only thin I can compare it to [sorry vegans out there] is unagi (eel) sushi...both pure heaven in my book. The service was incredible as well.

Compostmodern conference

The AIGA/IDSA conference Compostmodern was incredible. This was my first time hanging with a graphic design crowd and I am really impressed with the sustainability efforts underway in the industry. One big find, ReadyMade magazine. HOW DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT THESE GUYS? Check out their link and sign up...a very hip version of Martha Stewart with sustainability written all over it considering all the reuse they promote and all. I also hung out with my buddies at New Leaf Paper.

And of course what sort of style buffs would SSF be if we didn't have a couple "best dressed" picks from the Golden Globes. Our sustainable style hats are off to Jennifer Aniston and Kim Cattrall for their vintage Valentino. Jennifer seems to be making vintage a habit too. I bet she was shopping at Paper Bag Princess again.
