One of my very favorite places to pick up dinner on a busy week night is Smokin’ Pete’s BBQ in Ballard. I always have a tough time picking between the pulled pork, which is a little greasy, but super delicious, and the smoked chicken, which has a wonderful smoky flavor. Smokin’ Pete’s old fashioned barbecue [...]

We recently stopped by Gorgeous George’s on the way home for a busy day at work. Gorgeous George’s is a Mediterranean restaurant in Greenwood. It’s a bright, tiny space, with the tables crammed together and not nearly enough staff working (at least on the night we were there). But what a delight! The food is [...]

Now, this is how cupcakes should be made. Trophy Cupcakes is a fantastic cupcake shop in Wallingford. Their cakes are moist and delicious, the frosting is rich and wonderful. They have many different flavors, ranging from the old standards (vanilla and chocolate triple threat (my favorite)) to the more obscure, but awesomely [...]

Last week we were set on having sushi somewhere new before seeing Ani Difranco at the Moore. We had never been to Wasabi Bistro, so we thought that would be a fine choice. We parked on First, walked up to Second, and were arguing on the corner about how far away Wasabi Bistro [...]

So we’ve lived in Ballard for years, always driving by Mike’s Chili Parlor commenting on how we really need to go. We finally went a few weeks ago and we can’t get enough of this place! The reasons for patronizing the little brick structure are numerous and more importantly, sentimental. You may ask how a [...]

Nothing says “date night” like a big, juicy steak served with a glass of bourbon on the side. As long as filet mignon exists in this world, I can never be a vegetarian. When in New York, my first stop is always the original Smith & Wollensky. Being a seafood paradise, Seattle [...]

Anyone who has experienced the little hippie pizza haven in Ballard called Zagi’s Pizza knows that they have rockin’ New York style pizza (sold by the slice as well - gotta love that!) and a kick ass greek salad. Indeed, I had gotten into the habit of stopping by Zagi’s on the way home from [...]

I often crave a decent burger at lunch time. Working in the International District, this is a problem. Things were looking up when Mumu’s Burgers & Crepes opened up in the Uwajimaya food court. There was often a long line for their cooked to order burgers. Then Mumu’s sold out to [...]

Last night we went to Morton’s for a steak before walking over the 5th Avenue Theatre to see Cabaret. I know, Morton’s is a chain, and there are a couple great local steakhouses downtown (the Met and El Gaucho), but we wanted to go somewhere close to the theatre. We used to go [...]
