NEAH BAY — When an old ferry the length of a city block pulls up to a dock in the Makah tribe’s coastal village, it’s bound to cause a stir.
Wednesday’s arrival of the 1935 art deco Kalakala has already inspired a hamburger.
In addition to the ground beef, the Kalakala burger features Swiss cheese, grilled mushrooms, a piece of bacon, lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise.
“Another Kalakala,” Makah Cafe chef David Butler shouted from the kitchen of the tribally owned and operated restaurant Wednesday afternoon.
By nightfall, employees of the restaurant said they had served dozens of Kalakala burgers and said the $7 treat, which includes french fries, is quickly becoming a favorite.
