We have decided on a dinner menu of Top Ramen and dry Top Ramen, so if that’s not your style, or you plan on eating other meals besides dinner on Saturday night, might we suggest the following area restaurants. Whitehouse Crawford: A genuine five star restaurant in the heart of town. President Bush spent most of his summers here while in office. 55 W Cherry St.
Merchants: A deli, an espresso stand, a bar, outdoor seating on Main Street, great for breakfast and lunch. Seriously, what else do you want...postcards, because they have those as well. 21 E Main St.
The Ice-Burg: (Guest writer, Father of the Groom Ed) Iceberg is the real deal for scrumptious drive-in food served in an authentic 1950's atmosphere. The burgers are not overcooked, but juicy. The toppings, including* raw onion slices are just right. For those who want to linger and revel, some tables and chairs are available. I had a cheeseburger and fries, the next time I will not be so conservative- A double cheeseburger, french fries, and onion rings will be just right for my mind, if not my body. S. 9th St and Birch.*Changed from excluding because this is onion country, see below.
The Woopemup Hollow Cafe: Worth the drive to Waitsburg. Well, the drive through rolling wheat fields is well worth the drive. A southern inspired menu, and atmosphere that doesn’t fit in with the American Legion inspired décor of the rest of the town. 120 Main St Waitsburg, WA.
Area Taco Wagons: Some of the best tacos you will ever eat, especially if you spend your time eating tacos in Seattle.
The Colville Street Patisserie: I would kill for some of their baked goods right now. You think I’m joking, try me. Seriously, send me a name, their description and location. 40 S Colville St.
T. Macaroni: Fresh pasta dinners, and incredible breakfasts. On N. Colville St., one block off Main.
Walla Walla Sweets: Not a restaurant, but before wine was discovered in the area, these onions were what the region was known for (by like six people, but still). Sweet Onions grow like wild flowers here, and are sold in road side stands all summer. Sweets have more water and less sulfur than other onions, so if you love onions, but hate eating sulfur this is the onion for you. The crop came to Walla Walla via the island of Corsica when a French solider on routine surrender duty brought a seed from the island to the region. More recently, after some jerk tried to make the potato the state vegetable, justice prevailed, and now the Walla Walla Sweet is Washington’s official vegetable. Now you know everything there is to know about Walla Walla Sweets, and consequently 4% less interesting at parties.
If you don’t think we know what the hell we're talking about Sunset Magazine has some suggestions for the town they call a “foodie heaven” and “a pulse pounding thrill ride that will have you rolling in the isle.”
