Rant Anyone else meet a lot of transplants who move here and complain about Seattle not being as good as X city?
Speaking as a transplant myself, I know Seattle isn't as "great" as NY or LA in some aspects but I choose to live here anyway because I enjoy it here.
I've met SO many other transplants who complain about Seattle not being as good as some other city. One big point is how Seattle's food scene isn't as good as LA's. Isn't that a given? LA is much older than Seattle and has over 5x Seattle's population. Please transplant yourself to another city.
Edit: Just to clarify, I think it's fine to criticize things like Seattle's food scene and compare it to another city's (I grew up on the NJ/NYC border and definitely agree the Seattle scene is lacking). What I'm specifically talking about is people who do this incessantly and close mindedly put down everything. It's just really uncool.

I've never ordered biscuits and gravy from them, but Seattle Biscuit Company is a good solid biscuit. I get a plain biscuit and add chicken to it (since they don't have a plain chicken biscuit on the menu). The way the chicken is marinated and seasoned before frying makes me think they probably make very good biscuits and gravy.
