ANNOUNCER: It's not like Taqueria Y Mas Mi Pueblo in Lacey is special compared to other Mexican restaurants in the South Sound, it's just a note that you can add this place to your list of good ones. JASON: Located in a strip mall near Hawks Prairie, Mi Pueblo is stunningly

ANNOUNCER: Tucked off the main drag on South Hill in Puyallup, the Roadrunner Bourbon and Burger House is all dark and rich inside with a menu not seen elsewhere in Puyallup. The boys returned from their investigation not agreeing once again on what they found. JASON: I am once again going

ANNOUNCER: With our location on the Pacific Rim, you can't throw a rock without hitting an Asian or Mexican restaurant in the South Sound. European food is a lot harder to find. But Bruno's European Restaurant in Lakewood is serving up great German and Polish food to keep you feeling
Reviews
ANNOUNCER: The boys have been trying a number of food for the masses type places that they were excited to put on their fancy pants and get back to a small plate-finely crafted establishment. The Table did not disappoint. JASON: The care and attention that the folks at The Table put

Announcer: Dining in the Northwest you are exposed to a plethora of international flavors, but those are mostly from the Pacific Rim. We don't get a lot of European and Caribbean foods. In Olympia, however, is a tiny eatery serving Eastern European dumplings ... and darn they are good.Jason: The

ANNOUNCER: Smoke+Cedar was a great place. It was sad the day they closed - the food and ambiance were outstanding - finely crafted by the geniuses behind Pacific Grill. They left big shoes to fill - not enviable to the new owners who re-opened the space, changed the name to

ANNOUNCER: Classic diners aren't so easy to find in large towns anymore. You know, the kind that have that small town feel, the classic recipes, and wait staff that call you "hon" and "darling." The Martin Way Diner is such a place, in fact, I don't think they've remodeled for

ANNOUNCER: Open for several months now, Cooks Tavern near Tacoma's Proctor District has found an audience - diners that like well-crafted food in a light, easy-going environment with plenty of unique twists on the menu to keep things interesting. Though, why call it a tavern? JASON: Why they named a restaurant

ANNOUNCER: Lovers of u-cook Korean barbecue have a friend in Cham's in Lakewood. The boys discovered this unique dining experience to deliver the goods once they got past the weird rules. JASON: The first time I stopped in was a Tuesday at 1 p.m. The place was empty. But, standing at

Announcer: It is another odd couple week for the de Paul brothers ... finding the same spot not so agreeable. JAKE: The first glance at the menu, and it is easy to see that Louie G's is more than just a pizza joint. The appetizer menu is testament to the deep
Reviews
Announcer: They call it a bar and grill, but by all indications, think of the Log Cabin in Lacey as a tavern with really good food. They won't get a Michelin Star or anything, but if you like fried sandwiches, sandwiches and alcohol, a stop here (without the kids -

Announcer: After several weeks of somewhat cranky reviews, the boys were pleasantly surprised to step inside Pacific Southern near the Tacoma Mall to discover good, quality Southern food that won't help your heart but certainly pass the taste test. Jake: I really like that the house-made sweet tea and lemonade is

Announcer: Arcoiris Mexican Restaurant looks like someone took a yellow highlighter to the building. Frankly, the boys were skeptical to give this place a try because from the outside, there isn't much appealing about the joint. The parking lot has weeds; there are too many makeshift signs in the window,

Announcer: You have to love a place that tries hard to do it differently. It doesn't matter if you like it or not, it's fun to be somewhere that is not like anywhere else. The Zodiac Supper Club on St. Helens in downtown Tacoma near the Pantages is all kitsch
Reviews
Announcer: There was a time in Lacey that the Lemon Grass reigned supreme. One of the first finely crafted Asian places in the area, Lemon Grass presented quality ingredients in lovely dishes - hard to beat in an area littered with fast food. But on a few recent visits, things
Reviews
Announcer: You can think of La Gitana as a pizza joint, but in a closer look, it's really a stylish Italian bistro that makes great pizza pie. With two locations, funky Olympia and farmy Yelm, the designers and chefs have come together to create a place that is as pleasing
Reviews
Announcer: Good food usually trumps all else, but at Mio Sushi, they are pushing it. The quality of the selections are fresh, authentic, interesting - all worthy of their new location at the hip and trending Point Ruston in Tacoma. Mio Sushi can't be beat - diners will not be

Announcer: The boys are drawing a line in the sand this week over a stop at Fresh Rolls in University Place. Jake is a fan; Jason isn't so sure. What has them up in arms and ready to call their mom to mediate? It's all over the word, fresh. Jake: True

Announcer: If you have not taken your stomach for a ride in downtown Olympia, then it is missing a great deal about Northwest cuisine. While there are plenty of places cooking fancy dinners on the waterfront, in Olympia, the mood and scene are often funky at best. There is no

Announcer: There are plenty of Irish dining options in the South Sound, probably one close to where you live. For those in Puyallup, the choice is easy - Flanagan's right there on the main street in the valley. They are the new kids on the block, having just opened this
