BITE ME

The next time you're in Seattle and that old hunger mouse begins to gnaw at your vitals, do yourself and the planet a favor; drop by Cafe Racer and order a succulently simple, daringly delicious, vibrantly vegetarian Woodring sandwich! Yes, this astonishing culinary dazzler is fresh on the menu of this greatest of neighborhood joints.

What's in a Woodring? Why, nothing but thick, crunchy peanut butter and golden yellow mustard. Bread and butter pickles, too, if you want 'em! It's scrumptious, cheap, filling and comes with your choice of chips.

Where? Only at Cafe Racer, 5828 Roosevelt Way N.E. And remember this: the Friends of the Nib meet there Wednesday evenings.
