Chocolate Mousse
Thrive, $3.75/serving at Bite of Seattle
The first thing I did upon arriving at "Bite of Seattle" was ride a roller coaster. It was one of those enclosed boxes that rocks around on pistons so the occupants feel like they're lurching and swooping in synch with a computer-generated image projected on a wraparound screen. The line was short and the attendants promised air conditioning.
The last time I rode in one of these roller-boxes the premise was a rollicking ride through a low-gravity Martian ore mine. This time the theme was atherosclerosis.
After 5 minutes of buffeting against plaque-clogged arteries and ricocheting off blood clots, I wasn't in the mood for many of Seattle's sweetest, greasiest, and cheesiest bites. I was delighted to find a booth run by Thrive, a new-ish Seattle restaurant featuring fresh, organic, and raw ingredients. Their chocolate mousse is also gluten-free and vegan, an enjoyably unctuous fr0th of coconut milk, raw cacao, agave syrup, and cashews, with just enough sea salt to underline the rich chocolate flavor.
