TROUBLE WITH DEROSA: Bruce Wadel

Green Pup

When the important question begs, “Where’d you get your body from?” the most obvious, and of course intellectual, answer would be, “Got it from my mama!” Trust me. I know this because Will I Am told me (very loudly) as I entered the door’s of Lakewood’s Green Pup Sports Bar

Chopsticks Noodle House

Recent Trouble with DeRosa victim Daniel Furrer from Archibald Sisters in Olympia had given me a heads-up about the spiciness of Chopsticks Noodle House’s dishes. Thrilled, off I went.   There were three items on the menu with a picture of a cute little red chili next to the names. This was

The Chieftain’s Totem Room

They say that beer is the breakfast of champions. If that’s the case, then give me a gold medal and slap my picture on a box of Wheaties, because I rocked both breakfast AND beer at The Chieftain on South Tacoma Way. A reader board that I’m sure hasn’t been

Does Tacoma have talent?

Apparently word has gotten out about how much talent is all up in the South Puget Sound. Rumor has it we have great live music, talented performers, and one helluva attitude to back it up. As I walk down the street, I see talent gushing out of every open crack

Eastside Club Tavern

Still owned by its original founding family, the Eastside Club Tavern has been an Olympia staple since 1942.  I instantly felt the warmth of wooden bar comfort as I planted my bum close to the tavern’s cute, friendly bartenders. This place reminds me of what a true tavern should be,

Le Voyuer Café and Lounge

If you happened to meander into Le Voyeur off Olympia’s Fourth Avenue, you might assume you were in just another eclectic restaurant serving handmade food. You’d see moms with their kids, couples having lunch, and friendly staff behind the line getting their hands dirty as they cooked up some grub.   Take
