Bite of Seattle

I do believe most every big city has an event like this. You know, where different restaurants have a booth and you try food for a small fee. Seattle's Bite began at Green Lake over 20 years ago until it became so big it had to be moved to Seattle Center. We used to go before we had children, I guess. My kids wanted to go last weekend because they said "WE HAVE NEVER BEEN TO THE BITE OF SEATTLE BEFORE!"

Shocked at how long it had been, we decided to fight the traffic and the crowds and go enjoy ourselves. Actually, now they have this upscale alley of fine restaurants where you pay $9.00 and you get a large plateful of samples from some of our finer places. This was fun and not so crowded and of course, this was followed up by a little wine tasting of local wines.
