I’ve been there once. I was underwhelmed with the burger itself, but everything else was great!

If you do, let me know and I’d be more than happy to spot you some local cuisine.
Also this whole notion that teriyaki is some specifically west coast thing is weird. Growing up in Chicago teriyaki is something common. I don’t get how the specific teriyaki of Seattle is distinct from the sauce common in restaurants and grocery stores.
Ah, shame. I do like their ginger dressing on the side salad, which definitely does not belong in the ‘never eat’ thread.

and by that, I mean the patty itself. I don’t eat a lot of beef anymore, so that might have been it. But yeah the toppings and whatnot were awesome.

Ha, well I don’t eat much beef myself. Maybe 1-2 times a month, and only that as a concession to my wife really.
If it were up to me I’d probably be nearly fully vegetarian. In the year I was out here on my own I only had meat 1-2 times a month. I do still love a good sausage though.

Shit, sorry for responding to all this under the INEDIBLE thread when some of it is pretty good…
I was hungry and it went down fast. I never repeated the experiment to see if all the rice actually made it ok.
This time, a real thing:
How would we know if it really tastes like a moa burger? Do we want to taste a moa burger?
Seems more likely that it would taste like Master Chief.
I’d try them out. I figure nothing can be worse than the Grilled Squid Lay’s I once tried:
They tasted like someone dipped a plain potato chip in the drippings from a grocery store seafood display case.

I like shrimp chips. I doubt that I would like these.
In retrospect, I feel like the eldritch horror on the packaging should have been sufficient warning.

Indeed. Never eat anything that has a picture resembling a severed penis on it.
I would probably be okay with this. I grew up snacking on squid floss.
You can’t tell me what to do.
I was stationed at Pearl Harbor from 87-91 and we ate dried cuttlefish as a snack all the time. It was pretty good.
Speaking of Seattle teriyaki joints, a place opened just up the hill from my kitchen in West Seattle last year, right as the pandemic was starting, Grillbird Teriyaki. It’s self-described as a more-Hawaiian style, and man the place is actually really, really good. I mean, it isn’t fancy or ‘elevated’ or anything, but you can tell they actually know how to cook, make all their own stuff using quality ingredients instead of just popping open a bucket of teriyaki sauce and using shitty frozen meat.Prices are cheap. It’s become one of my go-to spots for takeout when I’m tired and leaving work and just need to food. Best teriyaki I’ve had in the city, hands down.

It’s even got the Hawaiian mac salad:
It does! But I hate that stuff (I don’t like mayo). I almost always get the cabbage and mac salad replaced with sautéed baby bok choy- their online ordering options are super flexible.
