BBQ review – Dad’s Diner A Go Go
Dad’s Diner A Go Go. Anacortes, WA.
Shack in the parking lot of auto parts store. Limited menu, pork, brisket, burgers. Had the Carolina sandwich… pulled pork. It came on brioche bun that complemented the meat nicely. Not a lot of sauce, but good, tangy flavor. The slaw was a bit disappointing… listed as horseradish, but didn’t taste like anything special. Nothing wrong with it, though… would definitely come back.

TUESDAY I ATE
Location: Friday Harbor
Breakfast: Skipped
Morning Snack: Apple
Lunch: Oooh… the Bulgogi Burger from Ernie’s Cafe at the Friday Harbor Airport. I’m sure this must offend some Southeast Asian purists, but it’s a damn good mess of chopped pork, pickled vegetables, and a tangy sauce on a bun. If you’ve got an airplane in the Pacific Northwest, this makes a great $100 hamburger.
Afternoon snack: Grape and Rootbeer shaved ice from The Sweet Retreat
Dinner: Sandwiches while out sailing with the Curtises

SUNDAY I ATE
Location: Lopez island to Friday Harbor
Breakfast: Bacon. Also sausage. How great is camping?
Morning Snack:Ice cream. From Lopez Island Creamery.
Lunch: Chicken-bacon-ranch sandwich from Lopez Village Market. This sandwich rocks! I’ve eaten this 3 times, and two of them changed my world. Take a breaded, fried chicken breast. Chop it up with some bacon. Add some white cheese (provolone, maybe) and some ranch dressing. They offer it as a cold sandwich, a wrap, or a panini. Now,, of the 3 times I’ve been there, once this was listed as the special and I remembered it for a solid year. The next time I went back, I asked and the person seemed really puzzled and ended up making me something that I didn’t really need to eat. I tried again, a year later. Sadly, I got the run around as I tried to describe this heavenly concoction. Then someone in the back, presumably the proprietor of the deli shouted from the back “You want a chickenbaconranch?” and came out to take my order. It was worth the effort.
Afternoon snack: I had ice cream at 11:30 and a chicken bacon ranch sandwich at 1:00. No snack needed.
Dinner: Leftover Pork Chili Verde.
Dessert: Leftover chocolate chip cookie.

THURSDAY I ATE
Breakfast: Grapenuts with cranberry juice. Good thing I bought some when we rolled off the ferry
Lunch: Turkey sandwich. Went to King’s market to buy some deli turkey… happened to notice that they had real, roasted turkey breast in the case… not lunchmeat style, but thick sliced. And $0.50 less a pound than the deli stuff. Made for a good sandwich.
Dinner: Steak. Went to old friends’ house for a bbq. Picked up a pack of New York steaks at the market. Plus a few grilled veggies.

THURSDAY I ATE:
Breakfast: Chocolate croissant at The Beach Monkey Cafe in Pacifica
Lunch: Sandwich from Gherkin’s Sandwich Shop in Montara (big day for eating; OST teambuilding trip). I ordered the “West Coaster” a chicken, bacon, avocado monster. It was really good, but I resisted my natural inclination to skip the sourdough roll and that was a mistake. Sourdough rolls are one of the biggest sandwich fails. The bread tastes great, but it is so much tougher than the filling that it’s impossible to bite without squeezing all the sandwichy goodness out.
Afternoon snack: Coke Zero.
Dinner: Split a BBQ beef sandwich from Costco.
Dessert: More of the doughnut cake.
