Holy Jeebus, were these good! Visiting Seattle for the first time, I meandered over to Pikes Market in hopes of finding this place. After 30 minutes of searching my hunger won out and I found myself scarfing down a huge crepe... After I performed the disappearing act on the crepe, I then waddled down the street and stumbled across Piroshky Piroshky. Cue holy choir- Meat pie heaven.

I hopped in line, despite my gut pleading with my reason, stating that it was already well beyond full. When I got up to the counter I asked the girl what her favorite was. She said "Go with the beef and cheese."

That first bite was literally one of the best things I tasted in Seattle (and I ate in some amazing restaurants). 90 seconds later the piroshky was gone and I was plotting how I could how I could find time to eat a few more of these guys before I left.

My cholesterol and waistline are probably pretty stoked that I don't live anywhere near this place, but when I think of Seattle, that warm meat pie is going to be one of the first things that come to mind.
