Eating out with kids in Seattle, pt. 2

I'm sorry Blue C Sushi, but you've been scratched off my list.  I loved visiting your conveyor belt of goodness every week and you used to be #1 on my kid-friendly list, but after the food poisoning that JJ and I suffered through after dining at the Fremont location, we won't be returning. 

On a good note, we recently discovered a great little pizzeria in Ballard called Snoose Junction.  There's a toy area in the corner of the restaurant and pinball machines in the back.  The atmosphere is warm and friendly, and I love the cozy booths and large tables that are designed to be shared.  Their thin-crusted pizza is superb, my favorite being the Putanesca.  Whoever thought of putting kalamata olives, capers, anchovies, and crushed red peppers on a pizza was a genius.  Admirably, they only use independent vendors who get their products from small farms and businesses.

Edited to add: One of the owners of Blue C Sushi contacted me and expressed deep concern about the food poisoning we suffered through.  He assured me that Blue C Sushi takes food borne illness very seriously and plans to investigate.
