Why You Should Visit (or Revisit) Carrello This Summer
Chef Nathan Lockwood’s seasonal fare is even better on the restaurant’s hidden back terrace
It seems like everyone — celebrities, influencers, half my friends — is having a “European Summer.” I’m not complaining because I get to travel a lot throughout the year (and there is truly no place like Seattle in the summer), but if I see one more person enjoying a plate of spaghetti with clams on…

5 Things to Eat in July
Just when we think we know it all, our food scene gives us more to discover
The unexpected find is a rare thing in this world, where it seems all great things have been TikToked by folks more savvy, more persistent than me. But dining out is not about this type of rat race. Luckily, I find there are still many surprises in every neighborhood: underrated dishes that become my new…
The Flavors of Pride Across Seattle
Seattle restaurants prepare for a busy, celebratory weekend

One Year In, Lenox’s Dreams Are All Coming True
It's just like chef-owner Jhonny Reyes imagined
Jhonny Reyes used to look at the former Marco’s Supper Club and The Innkeeper space in Belltown with envy. “I’ve always had my eye on this place,” Reyes says, while telling the story of how his restaurant, Lenox, polymorphed from popup to food truck to brick-and-mortar. “I helped open The Innkeeper, actually.

Last summer, I romped around New England playing the sweaty tourist. Somewhere in Vermont, my family discovered maple creemees — those impossibly smooth soft-serve cones made with maple syrup and finished with rainbow sprinkles. We had one every day. Washington doesn’t do creemees, but the local ice cream scene more than makes up for it….
