It can easily be assumed that food is one of the most important parts of our life here at Puget Sound. We walk into the sub and we are faced with many options. Some days there are a wide verity of satisfying food, other days we revert back to cereal. Yet, whatever is on the menu we continue to eat.
Now, there is not a book that tells us what is good in the SUB for the day. But wouldn’t it be nice if there was one? If you are planning a trip to Seattle head up to the Archives and Special Collections room in the Library. There you will find a book that outlines the best places to eat in Seattle. This book will also tell you what is unique or great about each place. Unfortunately this book was written in 1955 so some of the restaurants are not around, but some places such as Bush Garden, Canlis, The Cloud Room, and El Gaucho are still up and running. If you do not want to take the trouble of going up to the city, you can find a recipe for each restaurant in the book and make their most popular dish at home.
So if the SUB is not curing your ever growing foodie needs, check out You Can’t Eat Mount Rainier by William C. Speidel, jr. in the Archives. It will be sure to expand your eating options.
