2018年末节日盛宴旺季,西雅图的标志性餐厅Canlis全新揭幕其用集装箱改装成的私人聚会场所,地点就在其停车场西侧。餐厅老板Brian Canlis介绍说,此私人宴会餐厅由集装箱经神级改造而成,是Canlis一站式用餐体验的延伸。它可容纳8人就餐,配有燃木火炉,小巧舒适,具有简洁的工业气息,但又极具趣味性。食物由主厨Brady Williams主理,他精心为客人准备的菜单,具定制化、多道菜、家庭风的风格、并佐以红酒和鸡尾酒;此外,自然少不了全城首屈一指的完美服务。至于如此规格的宴会的价格?人均起价只有500美元呦。 

’Tis the season for some spectacularly festive meals. To that end, Seattle’s iconic Canlis restaurant is now offering a new, exclusive venue for private parties: a converted shipping container on the west edge of its parking lot. That’s right: Co-owner Brian Canlis explains that this tricked-out dining room—at once industrial and cozy, with a wood-fired oven and seating for eight—is an extension of the full-stop Canlis dining experience, “but in the most fun way possible.” It features a custom, multicourse, family-style menu prepared by chef Brady Williams, wine and cocktail pairings, and naturally, the very best service in town. The price tag for a party like this? It starts at a mere $500 per person.

Bloom Thai: Turning Tables into Friends

This hidden Thai food gem started as a pandemic pop-up. Now, in its permanent home in Lakewood, the restaurant has quietly amassed a following thanks to its fusion of flavors and gregarious chef.

For months before I went to Bloom Thai, I was regaled by Instagram reels about the tiny Lakewood restaurant. “The owner is so nice!” people exclaimed. “She came out and sat with us,” one influencer said, while another announced that “Auntie gave us free Thai tea!” and so on. The food looked legendary, too, and…
