Ejakart: Guns 'n Whores
The place: Shorty's (see below). The dog: Chicago-style, with everything (see below). The scene: Jenna Curtis, in a leather bikini, playing a video game called Target Terror. She's posing for Ethan Jack Harrington, the plein-air painter and chronicler of Seattle's street scene whose alternative, indoor work features alluring, partially-dressed women using firearms. No, not Guns 'n Roses; Guns 'n Whores. You might have seen some of the art on the wall at Whisky Bar, where Jenna works as a bartender. Or in the bar's ads in The Stranger. Or in the window of his V Gallery. "Single men and older women notice," he says. "But what sells are the cityscapes."

Doggie style
And you wondered how Cornichon was going to segue from Chicago back to Seattle. Well, we've got our own dogs right here in Belltown at Shorty's. Chicago-style, its relishes & condiments in the requisite, frighteningly fluorescent hues, its jalapenos of mouth-searing intensity, its quality questioned only by die-hard immigrants who grew up with the Real Thing.
