M's Fans: Ditch the Garlic Fries, Go For Poutine

Any Seattle foodophile worth their weight in salt has tried Skillet Street Food by now. But have you chowed down on a honkin' cambazola, arugala and bacon jam burger while Griffey's at bat? If your (likely) answer is no, you have all summer to try it out. Skillet's Airstream trailer will be parked along Edgar Martinez Drive (just across the street from Safeco) on home game days through the rest of the season (service starts two-and-a-half hours before each game through first pitch).

While a coup for local fans--including our office, located yards away from the baseball field--eager for something other than the run-of-the mill ball park food, one has to wonder if Skillet's high-concept food-to-go is enough to get ball fans to think outside of the hot-dog box? Only time will tell. But Skillet sous chef, Peter Jakubisin, says he's seeing a growing stream of locals stop by. Oh, and the newcomers are trickling in, too, albeit with a lot of requests for “plain burgers”.

For now, all you sports fans would be wise to break away from the sports food pack and ditch the garlic fries for an order of poutine.
