What better way to enjoy a nice sunny and warm day in Seattle than to fire up the grill right? Luckily my friends and I were all on the same page and that’s exactly what we did! Coming from the Ohio suburbs, we never had rooftop grills and although the grill is no different, the experience was just freaking awesome. You get a very calming experience sitting high above the skyline and with the wonderful views that Seattle provides ( as the pictures above show ), you can not go wrong.
To spice up the BBQ, Michelle and Corey (the grill master!) decided to spice up the event with a nice Asian theme. Given the theme and the outdoors eating adventure, I decided that I would be making some delicious cold sesame noodles and a nice asianish coleslaw. They both turned out great and was loved by all. I may just make those noodles again for weekly lunches because it was so easy and I plan to spice it up and bring the recipe on here! Although what I made was delicious, the star of the event was all the marinated meats that were quietly waiting to hop on the grill. We had chicken, beef, shrimp, squid (yes!), asparagus, veggies, and bread. Seriously it was a massive amount of awesome food
The food was great, beyond great really, but the real greatness came in the fun up on the roof with friends and the remarkable view that we had. This was a great way to enjoy a saturday and relax without spending it in a cafe or restaurant. I even got a little sun burnt which for me in the first week of march is the first time ever! Looking forward to next months outdoor BBQ with an italian theme!
