Seatown Snack Bar.

I love reading my usual blogs and seeing restaurants from my hometown being mentioned opened by famous chefs. That means I have a chance to try their creations! Serious Eats had a slideshow of "19 Breakfast Sandwiches We Love". I was automatically intrigued since one of my favorite meals is breakfast. They featured two of Tom Douglas' Seattle spots: Dahlia Bakery and Seatown Snack Bar. I decided to venture down to Seatown Snack Bar during my visit to Pike Place Market since it is right on the corner.

Seatown is a beautiful little restaurant. There are booths and tables, plus seating at the bar where you can watch them make your delicious food. They offer breakfast (8-3), lunch, dinner and a small happy hour menu, most of the menu showcasing seafood probably caught in the water across the street! We were obviously there for breakfast. Serious Eats recommended the sablefish, cream cheese and fresh watercress sandwich on their homemade english muffin. The menu had a true cod, cream cheese and arugula version, so I got that. I'm proud to say I'm following my "fish consistency diet." My boyfriend ordered the bavarian meats bacon and beecher's jack cheese breakfast sandwich (you seriously can't get a guy away from bacon).

Serious Eats says that Seatown whips their own cream cheese and I could definitely tell. I'm not usually a big fan of cream cheese, but I could eat a spoonful of theirs. It was whipped to perfection and gave the sandwich a light flavor against the cod. The fish was very nice as well, it wasn't too fishy and had a nice consistency. And I can never complain about an egg or arugula. I'm also in love with their homemade english muffins. It added a nice toasted crunch and brought the whole sandwich together.

The inside of Seatown. Cozy little spot especially on a dreary day.

My boyfriend's bacon and cheese breakfast sandwich. It was simple, but the bacon and the cheese were perfection. The bacon had the right crisp and the cheese was nice melted and gooey.

My sandwich. I had to smash it down to help my jaw problems. I dream about that cream cheese now.

A great location, right by Pike Place Market and the water. Probably a great place to sit outside and enjoy the food...when it's not raining and freezing.

This sandwich just adds to my list of the many reasons why breakfast is the best meal of the day.
