Who remembers Twin Teepees of Seattle? In Eat Your Way Across the USA, published before we started writing for Gourmet magazine, we had this to say about it:
 [style=”color: #0000ff;”]           Ok, so the food won’t soon be featured on the cover of Gourmet.  But it isn’t extraordinary meals that have drawn customers to Twin Teepees since it was built in 1937. The lure is the structure itself – exemplary West Coast roadside kitsch – that suggests you will dine in some sort of Native American mess hall. In fact, once you enter the pointy-topped place, it looks pretty much like any naugahyde-booth diner, but with an Indian motif; and the cuisine is strictly paleface fare. That includes a large assortment of burgers, from plain and cheese-topped to an Hawaiian burger with a pineapple ring and a “chicken breast burger,” as well as skillets full of hot turkey and roast beef au jus. Although the Teepee Lounge offers highballs and exotic libations including fuzzy navels and mai tais any time after 11am, the meal many devoted customers like best is breakfast, when the place is packed, the coffee flows, and tables are piled high with plates of eggs and potatoes, pancakes and sausage.[/style]
