    We've two of them in our fair city, but it's nice to know that Seattle has one
    one closer by. There are over 90 of them around the United States and they
    are pretty much serve the same incredible breakfasts, which is pretty darn amazing when you stop to think about how many people say that it sets the standard for all the other pancake houses. Don't let the fact that its a franchise keep you away. Take a gander at their home base web site for some clues at to why people get so enthusiastic over this place.
  • see Jerry Kindall's "The Seattle Pancake Page"
    By the sound it, you'd almost think Jerry perfers the chains over local non-chain restaurants. However, when you stop to think that there are over 90 Original Pancake House restaurants, maybe Jerry is on to something.
Vegetarian and and/or Healthy in Seattle and Vacinity

Originally we didn't intend to include so many veg and vegan listings.
Why? Well, it's hardly fair to the othe sections, which we held back
on because our staff is hard pressed to spare the time. (not for lack of options). But .. Seattle looks more like the Los Angles mecca for vegetarians that Los Angeles used to be (in the 60s and 70s, man, you know? Far out!). So, since they've got up there in the the rainy sity, why not flaunt it?! it

Besides healthy eating options are a wonderful thing to have. Don't you
agree? Maybe you can't stand to eat that way all the time (it's an easy habit to break), but you sure should eat that way most of the time.

Here goes:
  • Araya's 4732 University Way NE Seattle, WA 206-524-4332
    Vegan Thai makes it different than all other Thai places you've visited.

    Buddhist vegetarian restaurants across the country (Vancouver has several). Very popular
