#TourDeTom (A Tom Douglas Experience)

Being from Seattle and being a fat kid that loves food, I have continously heard rave reviews about Tom Douglas Restaurants. I have avoided them due to reasons I can't explain so I won't even try. You are welcome to draw your own conclusions, but they'd probably be wrong.
A week ago I was out with some friends and once again the topic of conversation was a Tom Douglas Restaurant. I had nothing to offer so I shrank in the corner with nothing but my can of Rainier Beer (yes, I am THAT classy).

SIDE NOTE: Rainier was a local beer that was brewed in Seattle for over 100 years (1884-1999). It was sold to Stroh's but is currently owned by Pabst Brewing but is distributed my Miller.

As I sat in that corner drinking can after can of Rainier Beer, I decided enough is enough. The next time I would be in the midst of a Tom Douglas Restaurant discussion, I was going to be in the know. That night as I lay awake in bed trying to figure out the best approach to learning about Tom Douglas Restaurants it hit me. "I am going to eat at every restaurant next weekend" I thought to myself. I jumped out of bed and went to my computer. I used the google machine and created a schedule that would put me at all of Tom Douglas' main restaurants.

The plan was as follows:
Friday
8AM Breakfast - Serious Biscuit
12PM Lunch - Serious Pie
5PM Happy Hour - Brave Horse Tavern
8PM Dinner - Cuoco

Saturday
10AM Brunch - Dahlia Lounge
7PM Dinner - Palace Kitchen
9PM Dessert - Seatown

Sunday
10AM Brunch - Lola
7PM Dinner – Etta’s

It was then that #TourDeTom was born.






That's all I got...
