"According to our sources, there are “no other good places in Lake Forest Park really” than Briley’s. But in reality, it’s so much more than the least-worst spot in the area—they serve BBQ chicken and brisket worth biking from Seattle to seek out, and there’s a picnic table-lined patio that overlooks Lake Washington. We’ll admit, though, that we’d rather just stare at the smoked jalapeño and cheddar links all day." - aimee rizzo
