Good eats and drinks around Tacoma, Pierce County and South Puget Sound
Friday, November 14th, 2008
Posted by Sue Kidd @ 11:44:45 am
We spent last week eating our way around tribal casinos for today's GO section. You can read our analysis of eats at the Emerald Queen Casinos in Fife and Tacoma, the Muckleshoot Casino in Auburn and the Red Wind Casino in Olympia right here.
Craig Sailor and I both noted in our reviews the pervasiveness of the cigarette smoke in the restaurants at the tribal casinos (tribal casinos on tribal land aren't governed by Washington state's public indoor smoking laws). I have been so accustomed to eating in smoke-free restaurants, it was quite a palate shock. How do you handle it when you're eating at a tribal casino? Or do you avoid eating at tribal casinos because of the smoke? We're curious.
