Pelago Test Team Lunch #2

Posted by David Berge on October 14, 2008 · 1 Comment 

To keep things going from our previous test team lunch post, here are our adventures from the second. I’m trying to get these all posted before they’re too out of date!  Do you have a place in downtown Seattle that you think we should try?  Give us a holler – leave it in the comments.

September 18th

Goal: Longhorn BBQ

Summary: It was time to decide on a lunch spot and Dan decided BBQ sounded good. After a veto from me for Mad Oven we left for Longhorn. It was a great walk. Easy place to find and it was fun walking past the Utility Kilt place.

The line was good and surprisingly the team was well behaived considering they had lighting in the place that resembled what hell must look like:

The cooks asked Dan what his favorite part of a cow was to eat and he responded with this:

The way back to work got crazy. Blade was impatient and took off across the street. Here’s a picture of Blade across the street waiting for us:

Pelago Test Team Lunch #1

Company wikis are full rare gems, and many are never found, so when Joni discovered a page dedicated to photo blogging the test team’s lunch adventures we had to get their permission to share it with our readers here on the Whrrl blog.  I’ll be checking the wiki page frequently to look for more stories to share, enjoy!

September 11th – “Ripped Apart By Hunger” (by David Berge)

Goal: Salumi’s

What Happened: Dan was hungry for lunch at about 10:30am this morning. About the same time he rolled into work.

The team walked there and got a bit lost because we were on the wrong 2nd street. We were supposed to be on the 2nd street one block over. I guess Whrrl can guide employees to a great lunch spot but it can’t help them find it if the city just names all the streets with the same name.

We stood in line and didn’t move. 5 minutes later we were in the same spot. In line out on the street. That’s when Dan started pacing. Blade felt sorry for him and took him to a nice looking Gyro place that used to be a gas station. Both of them are “high maintenance” and had to change the order from what was given them. I believe they were both asked to never come back again. They then walked to a local waterfall spot that we had found when we were lost on 2nd street… the original one… not the correct one.

Eventually we got to order and had some great sandwiches. We took them to where Dan and Blade were next to the waterfall.  It was a great time.
