Let's shuffle out and eat in town (7)

I believe the answer is:

seattle

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'town' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both locations as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'let's shuffle out and eat in' is the wordplay.
'shuffle' indicates an anagram.
'out' becomes 's' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
's'+'eat'='seat'
'let' with letters rearranged gives 'tle'.
'tle' enclosing 'seat' is 'SEATTLE'.
