Mothers day food tour (Serious Pie and Elliot Bay Brewery-Burien)

Ok, so in school I took a theatre class where we had to go see plays and then write a review.  I used to write about the whole experience and get points taken away because it was not part of the play(lame).  I would mention how uncomfortable the seats were or how hot the auditorium was.  Well good thing this isn't school because I'm going to write about more than just the food at these two places.  Serious Pie was a two hour wait!  Honestly I expected this long of wait with the eateries big name and all.  They did take my cell and we were able to go have a drink at Oliver's, a hotel bar down on the corner.  I had an Absinthe made in at Pacific Distillery.  Back to Serious pie.  The Pizza was awesome.  We had six of us so we ordered all but one type of pizza. 

• buffalo mozzarella, san marzano tomato 15
• yukon gold potato, rosemary, pecorino 15
• cherry bomb peppers, sweet fennel sausage 16
• roasted mushrooms, truffle cheese 16
• penn cove clams, house pancetta, lemon thyme 17
• guanciale, soft egg, arugula 15
• morels, nettle cream, parmesan 17

The roasted mushrooms and truffle cheese got the boot.  There were some questions as to what guanciale was.  I thought the waiter had told us it was bird cheek but apparently it was pig cheek.  Usually I am into the exotic pizzas more just because you can't get them most places and while the clams, soft eggs, and potatoes were all treats I really liked the sweet fennel sausage.  The grind of the sausage was so fine.  It felt like clumps of couscous but greasy and tasted like pork.  Overall good service.  The question in the end does the food out weigh the wait.  No.  But I don't regret waiting two hours to try these delicious morsels.  I would recommend going but I probably won't go back.  But trust me with a two hour wait they are definitely not hurting for business. 

The details on Elliot Bay Mothers Day brunch will be included in the next blog....

And for my sister who always has to put in her two cents, we are adding pictures...hopefully we can remember to bring the camera next time!
