i don't 'get' seattle in general

ciderpress, Tuesday, 21 February 2017 19:41 (seven years ago) link

seattle is grebt

Islamic State of Mind (jim in vancouver), Tuesday, 21 February 2017 19:42 (seven years ago) link

The "we have gluten-free biscuits! (limit 15/day)" rider on the menu is killing me.

ornate orchestral arrangements (DJP), Tuesday, 21 February 2017 19:46 (seven years ago) link

Our music will be upbeat and usually oldies, motown or southern rock because we’re a little bit trailer trash too.

Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 21 February 2017 19:48 (seven years ago) link

It's fine. Neither particularly special nor in a neighborhood I'm often in, so I've not been more than a couple times.

softie (silby), Tuesday, 21 February 2017 19:49 (seven years ago) link

No "Basic Bitch" on the menu?

jmm, Tuesday, 21 February 2017 19:49 (seven years ago) link

It seems like they just want to pour gravy down your mouth, much like molten gold for Spanish explorers.

Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 21 February 2017 19:50 (seven years ago) link

Yeah they've been around a while, they used to only be open late-night on weekends inside a coffee shop, so I think the menu was originally designed to amuse drunk people. Honest Biscuits by Pike Place are better though.

JoeStork, Tuesday, 21 February 2017 19:50 (seven years ago) link

I just keep imagining what would happen if I went to a bank with a business plan for a venture called "Biscuit Bitch" and asked for a small-business loan.

ornate orchestral arrangements (DJP), Tuesday, 21 February 2017 19:51 (seven years ago) link

Seize the day.

Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 21 February 2017 19:52 (seven years ago) link

"It would be a model train store; 'Biscuit Bitch' is the name of the mascot."

ornate orchestral arrangements (DJP), Tuesday, 21 February 2017 19:53 (seven years ago) link

xxp in that area they'd be like "oh like biscuits and gravy?" and you'd say "yeah we're going for kind of a breakfast theme" and they'd say "oh here are lots of papers to sign"

mh 😏, Tuesday, 21 February 2017 19:53 (seven years ago) link

I'm more weirded out by this chain https://www.goinpostal.com/

mh 😏, Tuesday, 21 February 2017 19:54 (seven years ago) link

wasn't Honest Biscuits the head of an Italian crime family?

qualx, Tuesday, 21 February 2017 19:55 (seven years ago) link

feel like I've posted this to ilx before and the fact an innocuous shipping chain is named after a euphemism for losing your shit and shooting up your workplace is something I am alone in finding fucked up

mh 😏, Tuesday, 21 February 2017 19:56 (seven years ago) link

uh @ Goin' Postal, wtf

these business names are effectively a case study in low-stakes expressions of privilege IMO

ornate orchestral arrangements (DJP), Tuesday, 21 February 2017 19:57 (seven years ago) link

oh for sure

the "bitch" naming is probably shrugged off, the whole "trailer park" branding is divorced enough from reality to conjure some vague southern/southeastern flavor with a little classism baked in

the classism is what makes it delicious prob

mh 😏, Tuesday, 21 February 2017 20:00 (seven years ago) link

it makes no sense to me because trailer park reads as low rent, but not particularly regional. assuming "trailer park" as a vibe is regional is kind of another flavor of classist

mh 😏, Tuesday, 21 February 2017 20:01 (seven years ago) link

(have they not seen Trailer Park Boys c'mon guys it's on netflix and you're practically in Canada up there in Washington)

mh 😏, Tuesday, 21 February 2017 20:02 (seven years ago) link

Biscuit Bitch, from the brand strategy consultants that brought you Strange Fruit, the PR agency

softie (silby), Tuesday, 21 February 2017 20:06 (seven years ago) link

not racist, just incredibly short-sighted and ignorant

mh 😏, Tuesday, 21 February 2017 20:08 (seven years ago) link

anyway there's plenty of other places to get biscuits and gravy in Seattle; some of them even have more than a tiny amount of seating

softie (silby), Tuesday, 21 February 2017 20:09 (seven years ago) link

donut bitch to thread

the late great, Tuesday, 21 February 2017 20:25 (seven years ago) link

I almost titled this thread "donut bitch, come get your cousin"

ornate orchestral arrangements (DJP), Tuesday, 21 February 2017 20:27 (seven years ago) link

Not to be all capn-save-a-bitch but I do have good feelings towards them bc they rent restaurant space from the homeless-housing nonprofit I used to work for, and are apparently very cool to the tenants that live in the apartments above.

JoeStork, Wednesday, 22 February 2017 04:30 (seven years ago) link

they should do something with L.A.'s Eggslut

I tried to drop my taxes off at the origin of "going postal" today, but the mailbox was overflowing

Sufjan Grafton, Wednesday, 22 February 2017 04:43 (seven years ago) link

well one of many origins I guess

Sufjan Grafton, Wednesday, 22 February 2017 04:46 (seven years ago) link

O donut bitch, come get thy cousin
she peddles biscuits by the dozen
if thou hast sensitivity
the biscuits, bitch, are gluten-free
(But as decreed by Biscuit Queen
Know thy limit is fifteen)

what makes the smokin' hot seattle bitch "seattle"?

Sufjan Grafton, Wednesday, 22 February 2017 04:54 (seven years ago) link

is it the grilled louisiana hot link?

Sufjan Grafton, Wednesday, 22 February 2017 04:56 (seven years ago) link

It's the cream cheese and grilled onion, cf. the Seattle hot dog

softie (silby), Wednesday, 22 February 2017 05:13 (seven years ago) link

Which in turn was invented for no particular reason and is not particularly iconic

softie (silby), Wednesday, 22 February 2017 05:15 (seven years ago) link

does it have a heroin needle in it

waht, I am true black metal worrior (Neanderthal), Wednesday, 22 February 2017 05:16 (seven years ago) link

How the fuck does a chain get away with calling itself "Eggslut" ffs!?

Stoop Crone (Trayce), Thursday, 23 February 2017 05:50 (seven years ago) link

it's LA. slut is a term of affection.

the late great, Thursday, 23 February 2017 06:34 (seven years ago) link

well, i guess i should say some people choose to use it that way.

the late great, Thursday, 23 February 2017 06:43 (seven years ago) link

Right, like how we call people cunts.

Stoop Crone (Trayce), Thursday, 23 February 2017 10:37 (seven years ago) link

I still assume that "Eggcunt" would not take off as a restaurant chain in Australia.

Stoop Crone (Trayce), Thursday, 23 February 2017 20:23 (seven years ago) link

Last week I opened Facebook and saw a post from a friend praising biscuit bitch for covering her meal when she forgot her wallet.

JoeStork, Wednesday, 1 March 2017 16:57 (seven years ago) link

there's also this design firm in L.A. that "builds out" a lot of "spaces" for restaurants, they're called "Design, Bitches"

nomar, Wednesday, 1 March 2017 17:28 (seven years ago) link
