6 Hours in SEATTLE - Mission Clam Chowder

Editorial Summary

A couple explores Seattle during a brief six to seven hour layover following a trip to Denver. Their journey begins with breakfast at Glows Diner, where they sample housemade coffee cake and cinnamon French toast alongside a specialty smothered hash brown. The pair then visits Pioneer Square to take the Seattle Underground Tour, navigating uneven ground to see the city's original first story and historical artifacts. The trip continues at Pike Place Market, where they browse colorful flower displays, sample various fruit ciders, and purchase fresh peaches and nectarines. The creators focus heavily on a culinary mission to find the best clam chowder, comparing a thick version at Jack's Place with the award-winning New England clam chowder at Pike Place Chowder. They also try a Connecticut style lobster roll, which they praise for its high ratio of lobster meat to toasted bread. Their visit concludes with a stop at the original Starbucks to purchase exclusive merchandise and a Java Chip Frappuccino before heading to the airport.
