Lunchbox Laboratory is by the REI, if that's close enough for you...
Lunchbox Laboratory would be about a mile walk with a part of that through a very unpedestrian part of downtown. I wouldn't recommend it. A slightly shorter walk could take you to 8oz Burger Bar on Capitol Hill, but you'll be exhausted because of how much uphill it is. A bus ride on the 49 would take you right to Blue Moon burgers plus a ton of other really great restaurants on that part of Broadway on Capitol Hill. My recommendation for funky burgers close to the convention center is Lil Woody's. Go to blocks up hill and cut through the dog park and you're there. I love the burgers there. Check out their website.
Here's what I'm thinking: 1/3 Burger with provolone, bacon, caramelized onion, and peanut butter with fries on the side and a milkshake. Fairly expensive for such a meal, but if the quality is there it'll be worthwhile.

I think I've got my restaurant rotation settled now, too. There are only so many places I can visit over 5 days

On another note, any poutine/be-toppinged fries recs?
Do you mean you want good poutine? In Seattle...?
Someone recommended Padrino's to me.they said that pizza place will even until 2am in the morning! Perfect for late night gaming munchies!

Dry Fly is in Spokane.
Oola has really good Gin.
Fremont Mischief is arguably the most popular craft distillery in Seattle.
Also in Seattle:
Sound Spirits
Captive Spirits
Batch 206
Letterpress Distilling
My personal favorite: Old Ballard Liquor Co. So far it's only on Facebook and isn't open yet.
Awesome. I was wondering the same thing. We came out late most night looking for open places.

In addition to the spreadsheet, I've had limited success in Seattle with eat24.com. Given your address and the time of day, they give you a bunch of restaurants that will deliver to you. They have an an app as well, but I haven't tried it yet.
I tried to use eat24 last year and the app in my own hometown and I'd say to avoid this like the plague and ask your concierge desk. The list they show you is missing so many restaurants it's not even funny. Like I looked up pizza and have a place I go to pretty often that's maybe 5 blocks from my house and they didn't show it. I'm not sure why it's so limited but I'd wager it's because you have to pay to be on it or something. So yeah I'd avoid it and ask your concierge or Google stuff
Find me on Steam.
Its in a hotel, cant remember which. But its pretty darn good quality food, and we went during happy hour so everything was like, 2-3 bucks. which was fantastic!
Also, since its so close to the convention center, EVERYONE goes there so its always a long wait usually any time of the day. Also its really overpriced and not that tasty

Just a note for those who have cars: There's a new barcade called Highscore that opened up in Redmond. Pinball, sit down arcade games, beer taps and apparently good burgers. I'll get around to updating the spreadsheet with it at some point.
Oh my Dayum
Oh my goodness

It's right by my house and I tried it before KN - its wasn't terrifically inspired... but you can probably find really good Greek food closer to the Con on Capitol Hill - Yanni's is not close to downtown.
