If you are fond of eating out at restaurants in Seattle, you would have already known how to enjoy the experience. If you are not one of those people who constantly go outside to eat, you can enjoy your meal to the fullest. It’s not enough to just grab a chair and wait for the food and finally dig in. You should be able to do everything right in a grill and bar in Sand Point Seattle. Below are some tips to help you enjoy your dining experience. Who knows you might just have the best meal in your life when you learn about the following.

Choose the healthiest dish for you. What is great with dining out in bar and grills these days is that they usually offer healthier options for food. What used to be plain oily and unhealthy are now customized and prepared just the way you like it. If you have a medical condition that needs you to carefully choose the food you take in, you can request for light meals and healthier options.

Request for the perfect drink. A great food is never perfect without a matching beverage to quench your thirst. While you are in a grill and bar, you can get any type of drink you want. If you are not sure which beverage is perfect for your dish, the restaurant can give you suggestions. Or, if you want, you can request for the restaurant’s signature drink.

Spoil your sweet tooth. Of course, one of the best ways to enjoy your dining experience is to taste a sumptuous dessert. You can pamper your taste buds with some sweets after your meal. You can get a cake r some sweet salads that is made exclusively by the chefs from the place.

Bring the entire family. Your dining experience would be worth it all, if you enjoy it with your loved ones. You can bring your whole family to the place. Even though it’s a bar and grill at the same time, you can bring your kids at special hours. They will surely enjoy the great food as much as you do.

Enjoy the ambiance. The food and the beverages are not the only things that you get to enjoy while dining. You can actually appreciate the place, which is a lot different from the designs and arrangements you constantly see at home or your dining area. It is also a time for you to enjoy going to other places than your own home.

Take advantage of special offers. Dining outside will not always mean that you have to spend much for your meals. If you look better, there are grills and bars in Seattle that offer special rates. If they do, it is an opportunity for you to enjoy. Not all restaurants give discounts to their customers.

Come Sail Away

The Comedy Duo Charles Follows Moby-Dick into Outer Space

by Brendan Kiley

Queequeg sits down and tries to read, but Ishmael won’t leave him alone. Ishmael: “When you were a kid, what did you eat at Thanksgiving?” Queequeg: “Space turkey. Same as you.” Ishmael: “You guys didn’t have, like, a cannibal version of turducken, like a child inside of a midget inside of an adult?” Queequeg: “I’m not your sassy cannibal tour guide, okay?” Ishamel: “Do you ever miss it? Like, do you ever look at a person and think, ‘Man, I’d sure like to put him in a big boiling cauldron?’” Queequeg: “Yes! In fact, I’m thinking that right now.” And so begins an uncertain friendship from the future based on the past.

The comedy duo Charles may have landed a triple-crossover hit with Moby Alpha, pleasing Melville nerds, sci-fi nerds, and comedy nerds with their smart, silly riff on the similarities between Moby-Dick and science fiction. The central theme is the crazy ways people behave when they’re floating in an anarchic, hostile environment where you have to bring your own water and make up the rules as you go along. Moby Alpha, like Moby-Dick, hits on xenophobia, unlikely friendships, and the thrill of being on a high-stakes road trip (without the road) where a breakdown in your vehicle can mean death. It’s comedy as literary criticism, or vice versa, where the great white whale becomes a great white energy cloud; the sincere first mate Starbuck becomes the android Starbot; and Captain Boomer, another whaling captain in the book who lost a limb to Moby Dick, becomes Officer Kane, the first one to be infected in the movie Alien.

Performers Chuck Armstrong and Charlie Stockman trade off the roles, indicating which character they’re playing by changing the color of the LED lights on their space helmets, which also provide almost all of the illumination for the show. The stage directions say the play should begin in a “blue-out”—just bright enough to see the actors’ hands when they’re not near their helmets—and slowly darken over the course of the performance as the audience’s eyes adjust. It’s a clever move that not only evokes the darkness of space but, by showing us less, makes it easier for us to imagine the hyper-futuristic world around them. After watching the Pequod destroyed by the great white energy cloud from the relative safety of a smaller shuttle, Ishmael says to Queequeg: “This puts every special effect in the history of cinema to shame.”

Charles has a buzzing energy and loopy imagination reminiscent of the Cody Rivers Show, the high-concept comedy duo that won a Stranger Genius Award in 2009. They’ve been performing brainy sketch comedy around the country for a few years—they call their mix of highbrow and lowbrow humor “unibrow”—but Moby Alpha may be their most inspired and fully realized show to date. For Charles, the future is now.
