The memorabilia-bedecked Sport Restaurant & Bar – A John Howie Restaurant silences grumbling stomachs with a menu that includes local and seasonal ingredients whenever possible. Cooks create the smoked barbecue Angus burger ($11) by dropping a hand-formed, applewood-smoked patty atop a toasted sesame bun with lettuce, pickled onion, and sweet-honey barbecue sauce. Like the crow of a late-rising rooster, the Rise & Shine burger ($13.50) toes the line between breakfast and lunch, sandwiching crispy hash browns, a fried egg, and a third-pound patty of ground bacon inside its brioche bun. Each bowl of Texas-style steak chili ($8+) brims with sweet onion, tomato, and tender morsels of beef and pork that the cooks simmer alongside five chilies and a dash of bottled magma. Thin-crust pizzas ($7.50+) emerge from the oven as crunchy as freshly mined rock candy and laden with meaty and veggie toppings.
In addition to the 39 televisions that hang throughout the restaurant, Sport Restaurant & Bar – A John Howie Restaurant also boasts historic displays of general and Seattle-centric sports memorabilia. The 500 Club display features an autographed baseball from each of the 21 MLB superstars with more than 500 career home runs and fewer than three career speeding tickets, including Mickey Mantle and Babe Ruth. Commemorating almost 100 years of amateur, professional, collegiate, and Olympic sports history across four showcases, the Seattle Champions exhibit pays homage to hometown heroes, from the University of Washington's first football coach in 1907 to the Seattle Storm's championship seasons.
Groupon Says
The Groupon Guide to: The Ultimate Snowman
Any fool with a pair of mittens can construct a passable facsimile of a human out of powdered frozen vapor, but it takes a true Picasso of precipitation to create a frosty masterwork. Follow these tips to create a snow sculpture that will endure forever, unless the temperature rises even slightly:
• Stack ‘em High: While traditional snowmen are comprised of three snowy spheroids stacked in ascending size for a more stable base and welcoming maternal curves, there’s no reason to stop there. Continue adding snowballs until your snowman is a gently tapering caterpillar towering gingerly into lower orbit—then decorate its face using a remote-controlled helicopter.
• Don’t Mess with a Classic: Carrot noses were introduced in the 1600s to ridicule Guy Fawkes, a famous waster of then-precious vegetables. Keep his legacy alive today by shoving a carrot into your snowman’s face. If unavailable due to rabbit plagues or juicing fads, just steal a traffic cone from your nearest miniature village.
• Attain Anatomical Accuracy: Keep your snowman’s proportions frighteningly human by having a friend volunteer to act as an armature for you to pack snow onto. He belongs to winter now.
