Eating (a Lot) Like a Local

WWFB: Ballard with Bekah Edition

The scene: Seattle, late summer, 20 million degrees outside. Your last night in town, and your cousin is free!

My sisters and I are the oldest in our family’s cousin universe, by at least a decade. Because of this, we were never in school with our cousins, or in the same age bracket even — so shared experiences were limited to family gatherings a couple times a year. 

Now that we’re all adults, it’s been incredibly fun to see who my cousins have grown up to become. In the case of Bekah, she’s artsy, outdoorsy, whip-smart, and above all, sassy as hell. I love that girl!

Our West Coast Road Trip was the perfect opportunity to catch up with Bekah, who took us to a couple of her favorite spots in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle.

Below you’ll see the remnants of some tasty vegetables at Stoneburner and the beginnings of some tasty desserts at Hot Cakes. What we ate in between shall remain a mystery.

Ballard: You do good food!

VERDICT: 11/10 for the sheer fun of spending time with Bekah. The food doesn’t even factor into the rating (but it was quite delicious, if you happen to NOT be hanging out with my cousin).
