Right after work yesterday, I went to the first planning meeting for MyCo's Pride parade entry. It was really more of a brainstorming session, but it's always fun for me to be around other queer people. As usual, I have more ideas than I have time to execute on. I had the sense not to overcommit (yet) though.
A gang of four (Foreshadowing!) of us, including the meeting leader A., were pretty hungry. A. took us to Din Tai Fun, which is a chain of fairly hardcore Chinese dumpling places with most of its restaurants in greater China. (A. is Chinese-American, and his parents apparently made sure he knows something of Chinese culture. That makes me wonder what his coming out was like.)
Din Tai Fun is awesome! Especially recommended: the tofu & seaweed salad, sesame buns for dessert. I wasn't expecting to like the juicy pork dumplings, but I did. Really, though, I doubt you can go wrong. The service is polite and zippy; zippy is no mean feat considering the size of the restaurant.
Warning: Din Tai Fun is popular. We waited 15 minutes for a table on a Tuesday night, so weekends are likely to be pretty crazy. A. said that when the Bellevue restaurant first opened, they were open 'round the clock and still had a two-hour wait. The hostesses were taking cell phone numbers.
