The late-night snacks at City Market are solid - Review - Seattle - The Infatuation
"Want to admire a life-sized statue of the Predator, get a pair of cheap sunglasses, and order a filling late-night meal? You’ve come to the right place. This little store is at the nexus of the universe, or at least a few blocks from major highways and Capitol Hill bars. Meaning it’s perfect for grabbing something to-go at the deli counter before getting back on the road. A majority of the decent food lineup is made to order and nothing feels more triumphant than stumbling down East Olive Way with a hefty, greasy bag of fried things after a few Manny’s. Flavor comes second on nights like these. Food Rundown Fried Chicken The pieces are chunky with a decent crisp, but they need more salt. Pizza Bites These are basically like Hot Pockets with a fried, toasty exterior, but without the third-degree mouth burns. Inside is a satisfying ratio of sauce to cheese, and you’re going to want to order a few bags so you don’t have to share. Jojos The wedges are massive, but the largest ones are missing crunch and there’s not much to them unless you dredge them in dips. Crispitos They’re huge and have a shell that shatters like a life-sized Jenga game—we just wish the filling wasn’t so shy (it’s really tucked in there)." - Gabe Guarente
