I recently visited the great state of Washington. This is my first time in the Pacific North West. The rain did not disappoint. I was soaked on my second day as I ventured around the city on a guided chocolate tour!
But, that’s not what this article is about. On a break from the rainy weather, I wandered into Dreamland Bar & Diner an eclectic place of great cocktails and what might have been a midday dance party.
In search of some late lunch, the chicken sandwich piqued my interest. Served with a great portion of french fries this looked to be just what I needed to get me through the rest of the many miles I was planning on wandering for the rest of the day.
The french fries were perfectly seasoned and cooked perfectly so that the outside was a little bit crunchy but the inside was still a fluffy potato.
The chicken sandwich however left a lot to be desired… What appeared to be a great breading and seasoning was in fact a bland chicken thigh that had been deep-fried, slapped on a bun, and topped with melted cheddar cheese.
Dubbed the “Big Daddy Cluck” on the menu, this sandwich was classified as the ‘galaxy’s most feared emcee born on the floor of a saloon at stampede’. Allegedly served with buttermilk bacon slaw, a Macrina sodo bun pickled jalapeno, and sweet pepper jelly. For $18 I could have gone to the grocery store, bought all of these ingredients, and made my own chicken sandwich with the limited supplies in my AirBnB.
While Dreamland provided great vibes, an amazing selection of cocktails, and a bathroom hallway that will make a sober person drunk I cannot recommend that you get a chicken sandwich here. Maybe try their Crunchy Wrap Supreme instead?
See you again soon Seattle.
