LOST BUT THEN FOUND
—

Today we sit in the Cafe and Lounge of Seattle’s own Long Lost but Faithfully Restored Hotel Albatross, the remnants of which were discovered while peeling away the layers of over 40 years worth of filth and decay from a crumbling cantina. Bits and corners of the once grand hotel have been resurrected, and pieced together, not unlike an archaeological site. Still below is the unadorned room with the single cot, and inside the alligator skin bag were discovered the notebooks of  Trip’s exacting recipes, which we enjoy here today.
