They’re a better appetizer than a side, unless you eat your side quickly. My experience proved that the tots will lose their structural integrity after about 10 minutes. Lunchbox Laboratory, Bellevue: See 141 unbiased reviews of Lunchbox Laboratory, rated 4 of 5 on Tripadvisor and ranked 68 of 572 restaurants in Bellevue. I gave them a 7.9 because I didn’t feel like they quite reached the lofty status of an 8, but 7.9 is no slouch.

Pair that with the Satan’s Tears ketchup and you have a winner. I’d say that the cheese sauce was probably a shared component of their house made macaroni and cheese.

Here they were able to add a full bar with eclectic cocktails that would match the uncommon burger and shake recipes that they would come to be known for. Did I mention that the beef patty was awesome? Because it was awesome. In 2011 Neighborhood Grills started the Lunchbox Laboratory by opening a 5,000 square foot location in Seattle’s South Lake Union neighborhood. Maybe if there was more gravy on the bottom of the burger in addition to the top I would have accepted them more easily. Surprise, surprise…they were cheddar! The novelty of having fried cheese curds was greater than the experience of having fried cheese curds. The cheese curds were great, but hard to eat. What? I’ve never seen fried cheese curds in a poutine. Their poutine was fries, vegetarian mushroom gravy, and deep fried cheese curds. Gavacho’s Totchos is a bowl of tater tots with cheese sauce, bacon, green onions, and Satan’s Tears ketchup (spicy ketchup). However, I came with the mission of trying something that I could review for the blog which left me with two options, both from the appetizer menu. Their DORK patty (duck and pork) is well known, and their tater tots could inspire an endless number of cheap romance novels. Their regular menu is a jaw dropping mix of creative burgers and sides. I’ve been to Lunchbox Lab half a dozen times or so. As a reminder that I should exercise more and eat less, I visited their location in the shadow of REI’s flagship store…Seattle. The restaurant has locations in Seattle, Bellevue, and Gig Harbor. I’ve had Lunchbox Laboratory on my radar for a while because they’ve always had some interesting fry options on the menu, but this was my first trip since starting the blog. Based on calories alone it was probably a good lunch and a dinner.
