What to eat at the Clallam Bay Comicon

Hi, folks! For the 2013 Clallam Bay Comicon, here's the good stuff:
Espresso: the best is at the Weel Road Deli. The 3 Sisters of Clallam art gallery (big green building on the west end of town) has espresso go good you can drink it straight, and they'll be where we're holding the Comicon.
At the Breakwater Inn, halfway to Sekiu, order Dixie's bread pudding. This ain't your bad aunt's bread pudding - it's light and fluffy and rich and more like some kind of ice cream. You may have to share, it's so yummy - or fight over it. Best view in town, too.
In Sekiu, the By The Bay Café has good ol' 1950's diner food, tasty, but been there, done that. 
In fact, that's all we've got up here, plus pizza (the overload of one kind of food already closed one Clallam Bay eatery). Do everybody a favor and ask where you can get Chinese or Vietnamese locally. Because sooner or later they'll see there's not just one tourist dollar for food, and whoever opens an Asian food trailer is going to clean up (Actually, there was one at 2012 Fun Days, in the vendor area, so maybe there's hope).
During Fun Days, look for street vendors outside of the main area, especially with little tables along the parade route on Saturday. In 2012, the best was a scrumptious strawberry smoothie. Tip them; the prices were incredibly low, because they think they're in a "depressed area" (Neah Bay's getting all the festival money, but attendees say they think Clallam Bay is a cute town, too).
On Friday, if you get here early, you must go to the potluck. You probably won't be bringing food, so pay your way in and support the Saturday fireworks. The local cooks turn out dish after dish of meats, veggies, made dishes and desserts you can't match anywhere else. It's real home cookin', and lots of it. If you can, throw 'em some extra cash.
The Clallam Bay Inn: Ask the name of the barkeep. Look for Kera, and her panko-dipped fish and waffle chips. Light, crispy, luscious. With homemade tartar sauce. Ask for a small pitcher of Mac 'n Jack beer, and share. Because it will be too much for one, and it's more fun with two. 
If it's Edna, she burns the food black (the potato slices are just black brittle pucks), and she MIGHT get you a beer when she gets around to it. Maybe. Don't bother - go anywhere else when she's on the bar. She'd make a great character in a rural comedy novel, but you wouldn't want to eat in one.
Sunset West Co-op: haven't eaten at the Eatery, but let us know if you do!
