NOSH PIT >>>

Opening Today: All signs point to El Guadalajara opening back up today at its new location inside the Neighborhood Market building at 3002 Sixth Avenue. The menu will be the same as it was in the Stadium District. The low ceiling freaks me out a bit.

Sushi And Dessert: Sushi Station - the newest conveyor belt sushi restaurant in Puyallup - offers two interesting desserts: deep-fried Oreos and deep-fried cream puffs drizzled with chocolate. Watch them go round and round daily at 10305 156th St. E. in Puyallup.

Tightwad Tuesday: $2 beer, $2 wells, and $2 tacos are the new black from 4 p.m. to close at Hell's Kitchen.
