Remember when your mother told you not to eat with your hands? Bring the Handi-Wipes, because it's finally time to indulge in some finger foods again. The city is full of places where silverware is unnecessary. We've picked out seven places where you can roll your sleeves up and dig in.
-
Daily Dozen Donut Co
93 Pike St Ste 7, Seattle, WA
Whether you order a half-dozen or a dozen, cinnamon or powdered sugar, these warm mini-donuts are always worth the wait. The best part? The sugar covering your fingers at the end. -
Steel Pig Barbeque
603 Roy St, Seattle, WA
This family-style barbecue joint offers all that you missed out on last summer. Take on the ribs for a serious appetite, or split the pulled pork sandwich and some cornbread. Finger lickin' is highly encouraged. -
Ezell's Famous Chicken
501 23rd Ave, Seattle, WA
Nothing should stop you from grabbing some spicy chicken strips, a sweet roll and a Faygo soda … not even the grease dripping from your fingertips. -
Flame
2123 Queen Anne Ave N, Seattle, WA
If burgers are your thing, then look no further--just hold on tight to these messy things, because they tend to erupt from the seams. Luckily, Handi-Wipes are available. -
The Crab Pot Restaurant & Bar
1301 Alaskan Way, Seattle, WA
This waterfront spot offers a sloppy, communal way to enjoy seafood in Seattle--think family style, sans utensils or plates. Customers tie on bibs, order beers and crack open crabs and shrimp. -
Matt's Gourmet Hot Dogs
1301 NE 45th St, Seattle, WA
Eat a Chicago-style hot dog the proper way--standing up. Add chili if you dare to live dangerously. Just make sure not to get any on your shirt. -
Awash
3808 S. Edmunds St., Seattle, WA
Be sure to come hungry and bring some friends. Portions are large and served on injera bread, and nimble fingers are necessary to consume all that is served. Don’t be shy--making a mess is part of the deal.
