Finally got to check out in Seattle today. Roman style pizza, the crust is out of this world. Really love the unique flavors.

We tried the: pepperoni, Turkey w/Green Chilli, Mary's Pie, Apple and the Cloud Nine. All were solid in there own way.

I'm already dreaming of more.

On this day two years ago I almost died due to a complication from a surgery. One year from February 8th was the 2nd time I almost died.

Today I celebrated a healthy future feeling the best I've ever felt. Thanks for the delicious meal . It was amazing as always!

Here's to 2026!

Tonight we had the luxury of attending grand opening! Last year I saw their Kickstarter, loved the energy of the two owners and couldn't imagine the flavors they were talking about creating. It was one of the easiest decisions I've ever made. Fast forward to tonight we were invited to sample the BBQ for 2 at their Grand Opening.

When we walked in it immediately felt like we were a part of the family. Several folks checked in on us and got us to seats. When I tell you that this was the greatest BBQ I've had in Washington and better than a lot of the regional BBQ places I've visited, I'm not exaggerating.

The ribs were a 10/10, smokey, tender and full of flavor. Chef Jacob brought us out a little container of what I can only describe as their version of a chimichurri flavor bomb to put on the ribs and it was so good I ate it with a spoon. The pulled pork was rich in flavor, and juicy and the Golden BBQ has my mouth watering as I write this. My favorite of the sides was a tie between the mac and cheese and greens. The greens were the perfect balance to the richness of the protein with a nice vinegar and salty profile. Mac and Cheese was cooked perfectly and had a nice balance of creamy goodness and seasoning.

The corn bread was absolutely to die for, super moist, sweet and the perfect level of crumbly. For dessert we also got to try their Gulab Jamun Beignets. Fried dough, rose syrup and pistachio dust. I literally licked the container to mop up the rest of the rose syrup.

Platter Items Pulled Pork with Golden BBQ sauce, Ribs, smoked sausage, and a marinated chicken on a stick. Baked beans, Greens, Rice and Mac and Cheese were the sides.

The items featured on the platter are on their regular menu but presented slightly different, so I'm very excited to try their normal menu. G-unit and I Both agreed that when we have friends and family visiting this will be our #1 spot. It was a 10 out 10 experience. Staff were friendly, attentive and were on their A-Game for it being a Grand Opening it looked so effecient.

We ended our meal with hugs from both Chefs Jacob and Denzel and a photo. So excited to see the future of Grann.

I've been pretty bad about posting over the past year but the mindset hasn't really stopped and I still take a ton of food photos. We originally created this page to shout out our favorite restaurants during Covid. Now I just randomly post food photos and hot sauce - I will do better.

I have no goals or aspirations of being an influencer just a fat (minded...) I guess now that I'm a thinner guy sharing his food and favorite spots. I'll never s**t on a buisness or try to get free food, that's not my style.

So with my renewed passion to share some of my favorites - today's post is from my most recent trip to the in Tacoma, WA on 6th Ave. One of my early and favorite spots in Tacoma - they have a wide variety of Glizzy Gaggers and if you know me that's a top food for the Turkster. Not only is the food fire, the staff are great (I hear the owner is kind of a super hero) and the vibes are dope.

You know how much I love Wrestling and I love the Lucha Masks, the partnerships with local wrestling and the showing of PLEs in house.

📷 - the Vibe (see Lucha)
📷 - Destiny City Slaw Dog (Slaw, Chilli, Golden BBQ)
📷 - The Chicago Outfit ( Sausage, Marinara, Giadarna & cheese)

Not pictured was the Hound Dog a peanut butter bacon dog I woofed down on the car ride home cause I can't contain myself.

All I'm saying is that I'm going to try to make posts every Tues/Thurs of my adventures and that if you're bored this Saturday you should go check out the Royal Rumble at The Red Hot and try for a chance to get tickets to see on the 14th. I'll be at both shows!

Shot out to my favorite bar in Seattle they cured my post Penguins loss sadness. We tried some new to us items off the menu.

First is the buffalo chicken dip which is absolutely killer, right amount of creaminess and heat.

I go 12 wings, 6 traditional buffalo which 100% reminds me of home. Nothing out west can compare. We also got 6 of the Mumbo which is a sweet and spicy sauce inspired by a DC staple for the Bills vs Commanders game tomorrow.

Lastly Gabbs got some Lemon Pepper Wet breaded cauliflower. This was crunchy and full of flavor, might try it with their buffalo sauce next time.

Thanks for reading! Might go back on Wed before the concert for Wing Wednesday if will let me.

SLUG REVIEW!
This seasonal Thanksgiving Sub from is everything I've ever wanted when I imagine waking up the day after Thanksgiving and going to the fridge to make a killer leftover sandwich! The turkey looks and tastes like it was roasted and carved hours ago, top tier Stove Top stuffing layered on top of the meat, and then the good kind of cranberry sauce spread all over Firehouse Sub's criminally underrated soft bread!

And don't let that bland white cheese sauce on the mac and cheese fool you (like it admittedly did me). Creamy, salty, and cheesy. AND THOSE COOKIES!?! I love soft buttery sugar cookies, and the Celebration Sugar Cookie with sprinkles and white chocolate chips had me from the first bite! The chocolate chip cookie is like the older wiser brother from Subway. And while I do love oatmeal raisin cookies and consider them my favorite, this one wasn't it. It was a good cookie, but with the added vanilla flavoring it kind of tasted like oatmeal more than an oatmeal cookie.

Thanksgiving Sub: 5/5
Five Cheese Mac& Cheese: 3/5
Celebration Sugar Cookie: 5/5
Chocolate Chip: 4/5 (Subway is 3.5/5 for comparison)
Oatmeal Raisin: 3/5

If you can't find a for a "Gobblerito", hit up a Firehouse Subs! You won't be disappointed.

Peace out, peeps!
