Denny's Longhouse

From the Seattle P-I, good news on the viking longhouse that used to be a Denny's:
Ballard Denny's site spared from demolition: It's a landmark
The pointy-topped Ballard building that formerly housed Manning's Cafeteria and then a Denny's restaurant may have no identifiable architectural style, but it's a landmark that should not be demolished, the Seattle Landmark Preservation Board decided Wednesday evening.
Sweet! Hopefully they'll get a restaurant in there again. A viking restaurant, with boiled potatoes and lefse, and soytefisk. But no hotdish, so it doesn't steal business away from my favorite bar, Zayda Buddies.

Thanks. I was just wondering about that building...

I can't decide whether lye-cured tofu is more or less appealing than the original.

Do you mean:

lye-cured tofu is more or less appealing than lye-cured fish

or

lye-cured tofu is more or less appealing than plain tofu?

I had intended the former. Now that you mention it, though...
