If you have ever tuned into the Travel Channels popular and intriguing show, Man VS Food, of you are a Washingtonian you should be proudly aware that he and his camera crew have traveled to the one and only, Seattle Washington! Adam Richman, the man who picks battles with well known dishes all over the country, graced that great State with his eating talent skills at a few popular, and some obscure restaurants in 2009. Choosing to try his consuming skills at, Red Mill Burgers, Crab Pot, and Beth's Cafe showed the world that he was not ready for the west coast style of eating. Tackling some of the best burgers and onion rings, an endless amount of fresh seafood, and a twelve egg omelet whipped up at Beth's Cafe seemed to prove that when it comes to Man VS Washington's great eateries, the eateries are the winners!

Crab Pot Restaurant and Bar is a great place to enjoy signature cocktails, lunch, and dinner. Located on the Seattle Waterfront it is easily reached by ferry, car, bus, and Waterfront Streetcar. A little too far from Seattle? Crab Pot is also located in Bellevue and has two locations In California. Using fresh, local seafood and their very own specialty known as "The Seafeast" it is that plus more that makes this restaurant truly unique. Wear your loose pants or a shirt long enough to cover the fact that you have unbuttoned your pants because after eating the feast poured right on to your table, you'll need it. With a range of clams, crabs, shrimp in the shell, mussels, oysters, corn on the cob, potatoes, salmon, halibut and andouille sausage all steamed with tasty spices you'll be begging for your mallet and a bib to start digging right in. Accommodating with banquet and catering services, and groups of any size for lunch or dinner, you'll be sure to be back, while bringing an entourage with you to spread the word of the greatness that is Crab Pot.

Beth's Cafe settled in the Green Lake surrounds of Seattle on Aurora Avenue (also known as Highway 99) is known for its "greasy spoon" cuisine. They are well known for their famous twelve egg or six egg omelet. Beth's Cafe has changed very little since it was opened in the early 1950's. Opened twenty-four hours a day, their menu is sure to curb any appetite that comes its way. With a menu of mini breakfasts, traditional breakfasts, legendary omelets, and sides; they serve more than just those craving the toast, and eggs. With a wide range of burgers, sandwiches, hot dogs, salads and yummy desserts to finish, you can't stop through without stopping by! Although this business has gotten mixed reviews from patrons, the only way to judge for yourself would be stop in and give it a try! (And no, Adam Richman could NOT finish his twelve egg omelet, so bring a friend to help you eat up!)

Man VS Food also traveled to Red Mill. Once placed in the Neighborhood of Capitol Hill in Seattle it closed in 1937 and was reopened in 1967 and currently resides in the neighborhood of Phinney Ridge, with a second location opened in 1998 in the Interbay neighborhood. Red Mill is known for its ice creamery and diner service, and has received honorable mention for the best burgers in Seattle's Weekly for ten years in a row; along with other honorable mentions of its outlandish good eats besides burgers. And if red meat isn't your thing, they have a nice menu of veggie burgers, chicken sandwiches and Tillamook Cheddar Cheese on grilled whole wheat. If passing by Seattle, or planning that special trip just to experience Red Mill, be sure to stop by because you will surely leave satisfied and craving its eats hours later when your stomach is asking for more.
