I don’t live in Ballard, but I sure like to eat there, which makes it personal good news that My Ballard is now offering coupons. The first ones on the page include Ballard Brothers Seafood and Burgers and Surfin’ Seafood fish delivery. Hey, Geeky Swedes! I’ll break down and buy some new printer ink if you add Lunchbox Laboratory, GreenGo, Honore, Besalu, Volterra, India Bistro, or La Carta de Oaxaca to the list.
Speaking of GreenGo, I’ve been rooting for the “Fast Food With A Conscience” restaurant since I first found their audaciously good, carefully sourced foods at the farmers markets last year. They’ve got a little storefront in Ballard now, and I worry when I see blog posts like this on their site:
“Are we just setting ourselves up for failure by refusing to compromise on the integrity of our ingredients?” Should we just sell industrial food and make a big profit like everyone else?… Neighborhood places serving dressed up crap are always busy, and we’re barely making it.”
I wish a restaurant serving what they serve didn’t have to ask those questions, and I need to go eat there and support them. Care to join me? Check out the menu here — and, actually, they’ve got a built-in coupon. Reuse a container, and get 50 cents off.
I think someone would have to pay me to eat their food again. All I tasted was a bad attitude and greed with there overpriced farmer’s market burger.I’m sorry but I know what it costs to make one of those and if you ARE going to charge that much it better be good.Why do people call themselves green to guilt people into paying more for less, mediocre tasting food? It’s a gimic and I don;t appreiciate “hippie” food made without thought or love. Just being honest.
