The Latona Pub Burger and Beer

This is not a gluten free or vegan post.  In fact, it probably was not my best food sensitivity role model decision day.  I find myself defying my dietary restrictions sometmes – as if waging a war against my digestive system will somehow result in something beneficial.  Alas, it never does, but I do enjoy myself before the side effects kick in.  On this day I dived right into gluten wonderland with my artisian bunned burger and microbrewed beer.

The Latona Pub holds a special place in my Seattle heart of hearts.  It is the place where I met my partner Lamar nearly 7 years ago.  He was playing his upright bass in the corner with a jazz trio – my friends report it was love at first sight – at least to the outside observer.

This is the piano he was standing in front of when I first saw him.  It did not have March Madness brackets taped to it at the time. I remember he came over to our table and asked if any of us lovely ladies had any requests – I asked for "Fly Me to the Moon" and was treated to a bass solo and the start of something.

Tonight as I defied my gluten allergies drinking a beer and eating a burger Lamar played the Friday Happy Hour music set with two other fine musicians.

Even my shoes got into the act. Meow.  Let's end this little note with a poem – you can guess who and what it is about.
