I stopped following Kenji almost right at the time he decided to move to Seattle. There is something slightly obnoxious about him that I can't quite describe that really irks me about his attitude (slightly elitist, mostly deserved, but not great if you're someone who cares about these things). What is very interesting to me is how Seattleites are hanging on his every post and recommendation. Seattle has one of the least exciting and lackluster food scenes out of any "food city" I've ever lived in. It's honestly great for him as Seattle (I feel) lacks a food identity, so he is well positioned to influence a lot of young and well paid followers on social media

> Seattle has one of the least exciting and lackluster food scenes out of any "food city" I've ever lived in. I'm a native of Washington, moved away in my teens and returned to Seattle 10 years ago, from Atlanta. Comparatively Seattle has a much less interesting food scene than Atlanta, and I don't think Atlanta is even considered to be a 'food city'.

  Have to agree. Lived in seattle for about 4 years, and it’s my least favorite place I’ve ever lived when it comes to dining out and general food scene
