A few weekends back I dined at Madame K’s. It’s a charming pizza spot located in Old Ballard. Legend has it that the space housed a brothel on the upper floor. Embracing the legend, Madame K’s is decorated in all things brothel like. The red walls create a warm space that’s casual, romantic and definitely a fun place to spend an evening with friends.
The salad was average and the pizzas decent, but it's the atmosphere that’s the real draw. We tried the one and only desert that our waitress highly recommended – the Chocolate Chip Orgasm. Don’t know if it’s worth the rave, but I did enjoy the scoop of vanilla ice cream atop a pancake of cookie dough.
Next stop - Ed's Kort Haus in the Phinney Ridge neighborhood. A divvy bar with friendly service and an exotic menu of meat burgers - antelope, kangaroo, ostrich, reindeer, alligator, camel, caribou and more. Haven’t tried any of the burgers but the extensive beer selection on tap along with the low-key vibe is a win win situation for me. Have you all noticed my love of beer?
