Beth’s Cafe Seattle,WA

A true landmark for 24hr food Beth’s Cafe in Seattle has been around since 1954 serving omelettes to the good folks of the Northwest. Having been featured on that one network that I wouldn’t mind working for… the Travel Channel, this institution is known for its behemoth 12 egg omelette that I refuse to try to consume. Having the audacity of thinking I would be able to just grab food on a sunday morning I pull up to find out I had at least a 30 min wait with a crowd gathered around the front door like it was a saturday night dance club and they were waiting for the doormen to approve of them and their outfit. Hey did the big man in the Seahawks jersey just belt out my name..RAME party of two!!!..and I’m at that..walking in this place gives me the vibe of the Seattle scene known to us all..grunge. The walls are lined with crayola drawing as if they were inspired by 1st graders all done by the fine patrons of this fine establishment. Our waitress had big make up and an even bigger personality…energy drink anyone LOL So I scan over the menu and to my surprise they have a build your own omelette so I go in with links mushrooms and american cheese my classic fav along with some sourdough toast some OJ and I’m ready to grub. While waiting on my meal I decided to roam around the iconic spot.

The have a game room tucked away with a few pinball machines and classics 1980’s arcade. I Cant stop focusing on the artwork created by customers with white paper and crayons off what looks like a bunch of shots, beer and hours of listening to Kurt Cobain and Jimi Hendrix. The pay for play jukebox is surprisingly playing tunes from this eclectic crowd from Eminem to The Greatful Dead. While sitting in a prime location of the first table as you walk in the line never gets any smaller but actually grows to a 45 min wait and I hear not one person… not put their name on the list. And I finally find out why.

The 6 egger has taken up a majority of my place with the all you can eat hash browns peeking from underneath. Cooked to perfection is this omelette while the cheese mushrooms and links ooze out of it over the buttery but not over cooked hash browns to die for. Overall this is a must whenever you come to Seattle. Beth’s Cafe has been featured on the Travel Channel, the Food Network, The Learning Channel and was even voted “Best Place to Cure a Hangover” by Seattle Magazine.
I’d give this place 4 out of 5 jewels. So despite having to stand around and wait and maybe in the rain its well worth it and the $10 I paid for my meal is priceless. And like for real where else ya gonna go in the middle of the night for good eats. For more information on Beth’s Cafe please visit their website www.bethscafe.com.

Hawks to athletic for Golden State win 95-79

The night started out much better than it ended as we were treated to the National Anthem by none other than Grammy nominated R&B songstress Kelly Price. I treated myself to a beer and a hot dog and was ready for some live NBA 15 rows from the court. Halftime was a surprise treat as the last Golden State Warriors championship team from 1974-75 had a reunion at center court where they took time to photograph them all. That team was led by none other than Mr. NBA logo himself #24 Rick Barry who averaged 30 points a game in carrying them to the championship.

Down by as much as 29 in the 3rd period the Warriors never had a chance. Atlanta had hawk defense tonight. Something coach Larry Drew had been seeking from his team all year was the dominance displayed on both ends of the floor.

Led by the biggest match up problems  Josh Smith scored 26 points, Al Horford had 22 points and

12 rebounds. Even though you couldn’t tell by the stat sheet the real difference maker of the night was Joe Johnson.

With Johnson having only what amounted to 12 points 5 rebounds 5 assists it was the match up problem the Hawks were looking for as he dominated the back court duo of Ellis and Curry for Golden State by posting them on the block and distributing the rock to a cast of teammates.

This was fresh air for Atlanta as they shot 48% from the field(40 of 84), out rebounded  the Warriors 49-34 and holding a large lead through out while winning for the first time since Feb 14th.

The Warriors seems out of sync all night never quiet got it together as a team. David Lee had 20 points and 10 rebounds, and Monta Ellis scored 16 for Golden State (26-31).

Lets face it the Warriors are in no way shape or form looking like they are ready for a playoff run. With the next seven games on the road they need a way to transform into the “road warriors”. With Troy Murphy getting shown the door with a buyout no form of help is coming to save this sinking ship. I have come to the conclusion that I should just tuck away my classic 2007 playoff run WE BELIEVE tshirt away for next year when things just might be brighter. My next scheduled NBA game is March 18th when I pay my first visit to  the Western Conference powerhouse Oklahoma City Thunder as they host the Charlotte Bobcats at the Oklahoma City Arena.

The West Just Got Weaker- GSW vs Atl Hawks 2/25/11

Golden State Warriors vs Atl Hawks 2/25

That could only mean better days ahead for my team the Golden State Warriors. No more Deron Williams and no more Carmelo Anthony. Even the upstart Clippers unloaded Baron Davis off with a lottery pick. At this point in time the West won’t be as tough in the short-term. It now looks realistic for The Warriors to actually make the playoffs at least next year and by chance this year. A slim chance being that we are 4 and a half games back of 8th place Memphis who holds the final spot at the moment .I’d liked for us to have been a bit more active compared to the rest of the league but we’ll see how the new owners play with this salary cap.

With all that being said I’m on my way to the Warriors vs Atlanta Hawks game tonight at Oracle Arena in Oakland. On paper the Hawks look like a better team with Al Horford manning the paint against Andres Biedrins and an edge on them with the bench as well with no Brandan Wright coming off the pine. With the advantage going to Atlanta down low and off the bench I’m not counting out our back court at home. Monta Ellis and Stephen Curry will be instrumental in what I predict to be The Warriors stealing a last-minute win by 2.

Look out for me at my next game…ON The Road…against a Western Conference Power House…

LET’S GO WARRIORS!!!!!
