If, as Michael Hebb says, the vitality of a society's food culture can be measured by its street food, our little corner of the world can add some more cream to its burgeoning crop. The One Pot impresario's first legal Seattle restaurant -- complete with a permanent address and (nearly) regular hours -- is to fish 'n' chips what Frites was to French fries: a joint that honors proletarian street grub by giving it the respect it deserves.

The most basic item at Mr. Lu's -- good old fish 'n' chips ($6.25) -- was the best I've ever had. They'll fry up cod, halibut or salmon, with tartar, ranch, cocktail, barbecue and Cajun sauces for dipping. The fries are the kind that put others to shame. They're firm and crispy with that outer coating of crunchy texture that gives them an added lift.
