good morning from Seattle I'm Stephen she's Andie and we've got 48 hours in Seattle we're
just back from our Alaska cruise it was so amazing and now we've got two days to hang
with my sister and brother-in-law in one of the coolest cities we know we see some icons
check out some international markets and of course eat lots of delicious foods so Stephen
and I have each been to Seattle but separately this is our first time here together and one
thing I didn't realize until this trip is that even though Stephen's been here a couple
of times it was with bands to play gigs so he never really got to see any of the city
he's never been to Pike Place Market or to the space needle so we're gonna do all that
stuff this time so he gets a chance to see these things we started with a snack of samosas
to avoid the rookie mistake of walking through the market on an empty stomach
figures the one time we're both here together and the fish market's closed so we don't get
to see them throwing any fish bummer
how you doing
we're waiting in line at Beecher's for what we hear is the best mac and cheese in the
world
thank you all right we've heard a lot about this place let's give this a try
so good it's awesome
we're headed down to the Gum Wall to add our contribution
so gross
I gotta find out how this started because this is just so weird and gross
all right I'm gonna try to find a spot where I don't have to touch somebody else's gum
to add mine I think we're going with this doorway right here that looks pretty safe
there it is I did it
I'm gonna put mine next to Andie's
how romantic I really don't have much of an appetite now though what's that saying the
couple that sticks gum together sticks together (Stephen: something) our gum sticks together
J and Gerard added theirs so now we have a snowman with arms gum art
time for a snack
where's yours and we're walking up to the Chris Cornell statue outside of MoPOP I've
already been warned it's not a great likeness so I'm kind of nervous to see what this looks
like but uh let's check it out
I think this one's a much better likeness than the Chris Cornell statue it's not nearly
as hot as he was right this one captures the heat of Mr. Hendrix appropriately I need a
hotter Mr. Cornell thank you very much
Capitol Hill is one of the trendy areas here in Seattle you find a lot of restaurants and
shops we just saw a Warby Parker so it's a really fun area to come when you're in town
as you know whenever we travel we like to visit the local coffee shops and here in Seattle
it just so happens that one of their local coffee spots is a massive corporation that
you've definitely heard of we're going to Starbucks but we're in Capitol Hill and we
are going to the Reserve Roastery this place is really cool
smells pretty incredible
this place is really cool but the line oh my god it's so slow
I hope this loud music isn't going to get us into any trouble but I decided to get something
that I've never seen at a Starbucks before this is really unique here I think, it's a
sparkling citrus espresso and I got it with the featured Vietnam blend which has uh dark
chocolate hints with caramel and orange peel so I'm really looking forward to trying this
I think it's going to be pretty decadent all right I'm into some serious business here
I got a three espresso flight so the one I'm most excited to try is Vietnam and also a
Costa Rica and from what I'm told I think this is the original espresso blend Pantheon
pretty stoked about that one too and I've even got some pallet cleansers in between
and some sparkling water gonna get busy
good drink good stuff which one did you like best uh definitely the Vietnam yeah that was
a really nice brew wasn't it really good mine was a little bit bitter but once I added a
little sugar in the raw to it really interesting combination of citrus and espresso I wouldn't
have guessed to put those flavors together yep it's quite good yeah it was nice and kind
of refreshing we're going to be going around and checking out some of the international
flavor in this city starting with ooweech... (laughing)
the Uwajimaya Village where we're going to get ourselves some ramen and hopefully some
mochi donuts and takoyaki yes let's go eat
we're in Samurai Noodle we're gonna get ourselves some takoyaki and croquettes and ramen and
we're gonna check out the rest of the village and see what else they have around here
pretty damn good let's see what's inside one of these
got a bit of squid here some dough I'm gonna sauce it up I'm assuming these sauces are
the same
denied
kawaii
hello we came in search of Crunky I was hoping for the balls but I might have to try the
bar because Crunky and I love it I think we're pretty good Pocky, Crunky, mochi
very colorful snack
good morning we're starting day two in Seattle here at lake View Cemetery anyone else like
to check out the cemeteries when they travel we always dig it we've got a great one in
Hollywood sometimes we find really funny headstones like at Key West other times they're just
really beautiful sanctuaries and just really peaceful places to pay your respects to some
of the people from each area we're here today to see the gravesite of Bruce Lee and his
son, Brandon, they're both buried here at the cemetery with incredible views of a lake
and the mountains in the distance so we're going to check that out real quick before
we move on to the city again
so we came down the hill a little ways to another memorial site with a view of Lake
Washington we're in Viretta Park and this is the bench where people come to pay tribute
to Kurt Cobain
it's located just off the property where he lived at the time of his death
we've made our way now to Fremont which is one of my favorite areas of the city because
it's the home of Adobe my fellow photo and design people and Premiere Pro editors will
appreciate that as well as Theo Chocolate excellent chocolate company and the home of
this guy that's the Fremont Troll hiding out under the bridge
now we're in Ballard and this area is known for having a really big Norwegian population
in fact they have the biggest Norwegian festival outside of Norway here every single May his
name is Henry so we're gonna check out the market and then get ourselves some food let's
go
well this never happens our Scandinavian food options are closed today because it's Tuesday
which we were not expecting in a larger city like Seattle so we came south in Seattle where
there's a large immigrant population and that gives us a lot of food options we decided
to go with pupusas there are so many reasons we can't wait to be able to travel full-time
one of them is so that we can make days like Mondays and Tuesdays into work days so that
we can actually go out and check places out on the days when things are actually open
I can't believe we keep running into this but I guess it's inevitable we kind of work
our schedule the best way that we can and you know we gotta work with it and be flexible
when these things happen speaking of things happening turns out our pupusa place is also
closed oh my god third time's the charm Berta's Kitchen is open and we are getting pupusas
time to eat
very little about as much as I could try he really hates guacamole aside from the texture
which I'm not a big fan of the flavor is actually excellent so I'm a solid 50% on that, surprisingly
I got a pupusa with cheese and something called Morocco which I'm not really sure what that
is but we're gonna give it a try anyway loroko is a vine with edible flower buds indigenous
to Central America it has a mild flavor similar to spinach or chard and then Stephen got cheese
and jalapeno in his it's just before sunset here on day two and we decided to come down
here to Alki Beach and get some cool views of the city and after that we're gonna go
grab some oysters
one more meal before we catch our red eye Pacific Northwest oysters
thank you so much for watching we appreciate you coming along on this Seattle adventure
with us and we can't wait to take you on the next one see you next time full view of the
city and next we're going to go get some oysters oh dude you're right in my shot oh sorry sorry
I was stretching totally did that on purpose Captain Oblivious dude what's this he's like
ohhhh and just keeps going
