So how many of you went to
Bite Of Seattle this past weekend at Seattle Center
? *raises hand* Just made it out on Sunday and was lucky enough to have missed the rain. Turnout, vendor-wise and traffic-wise, seemed to be down from last year — but that may be since I went on Sunday this year… and the rain. That’s OK though, because I remember last year being utterly packed. As always, though, the food was tasty. Though I do wish Bite was more sample-y.
You know, actually introduce you to more places rather than a “buy a meal from us” type of thing. Well anyway, let’s take a trip back to the 1962
Seattle World’s Fair for this Past Postcard of the World’s Largest Birthday Cake! 25,000 pounds! See, celebrating wastefulness and consumerism isn’t just a new fad.
So sad for Seattle though, as it looks like the record now
rests with Las Vegas (130,000 pounds). Let’s try for 200,000 pounds next time.
I’ll help with the scarfing.
Have a closer look at the vintage postcard:
