MegaCarp Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 So next month I'm going to Everett Washington for some training. Sad thing about things is that the company is not going for a car, and I think most restaurants near by the hotel are Mexican. So I'm curious what a Paleo-minded individual would pack for short business trips like this. Quote Link to comment
Gowaduv Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Where are you going to stay? There are several of us who live in or near Everett- we might be able to point you in the right direction.

Brometheus Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 I love Mexican food! I eat fajitas, eggs and chorizo, or some sort of pork. I ask for extra veggies, guacamole, hold the chips, rice and beans. No real issues, and I usually get it for the same price, or a couple bucks extra. Though I have no real recommendations as far as business trips go, as I don't really have to do many (or at all, actually). Pack some whey protein, lara bars, beef jerky, and call it good? I do live in Everett, and haven't had any issues eating primal blueprint style. I admit, it would be harder if I was pure paleo... Quote Link to comment
MegaCarp Posted March 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Towneplace Suites by Marriott Seattle North/Mukilteo off of Mulkiteo Speedway. First time there I only found the Taco Bell, Burger Joint, and a Mediterranean place. They have a map of nearby places in the hotel, but I like to go places by foot. The company has me going to Fluke for some training. Quote Link to comment
Gowaduv Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 Is the Patty's Eggnest off the list? 4 min on foot. I've heard mixed reviews if you stray from the breakfast foods. When are you going to be out here? I can probably pick you up and at least get you out of the neighborhood for a dinner or two. You need to be on the other side of Boeing to have much in the way of options.

Brometheus Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 Agreed. PM me, we could work out some details to get you out and about and grab some real food (depending on the evening -- I work nights). Patty's eggnest is good for breakfast stuff. Egg scrambles w/cheese (you can eat dairy. or not...), meats and stuff. Just ask for fruit instead of hashbrowns and toast. Open from like 7-3 daily. Quote Link to comment
MegaCarp Posted March 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 Cool guys, yea I'll be there from April 10th until effectively the 15th. Hopefully I settle in from the flight faster than last time (3 hour difference really got me and I didn't adjust until the last night) Definitely appreciate it as it'll be a nice change from programming all day.

Did they confiscate it? Quote Link to comment
Gowaduv Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 What's the street value of 28g of chocolate protein powder? Did you step on it, or was it pure? Do you cook it down and inject it? Or just mix with water?
