DOWN WITH PANTS!

Down With Pants! is completely full. Tonight following a four mile walk around Seattle's beautiful Seward Park, DWP! treated himself to a lovely dinner around the corner at Columbia City's Fasica Ethiopian Restaurant. I had Missser Wot (spicy-ass red lentils) and Gomen (collard greens, jalapenos and garlic?) all with injera, the amazing bread that serves as plate, fork and napkin.

Seattle is home to a ton of Ethiopian restaurants. There is an area in the Central District around Seattle University that is jokingly called Little Addis Ababa because there are at least 10 restaurants within a mile of each other. The DWP! crew has sampled four of the many Seattle establishments:

Fasica in Columbia City - The best lentils of the group. Super spicy. Virtually no atmosphere especially if the place is empty as it was today.
Mesob in Little Addis Ababa - Food isn't as good as Fasica but better atmosphere. Right next to SU so many college kids hanging out.
Cafe Soleil in Madrona - A really nice little restaurant with great atmosphere and good food. Not as spicy as the others. It's kind of the gourmet Ethiopian joint.
Horn of Africa - Only shows up during big festivals in Seattle. Probably our favorite because it hits the spot in the middle of the Bumbershoot crush.
