Classical Music and Pancakes: Together At Last on Capitol Hill
Erin Jorgensen's "Bach & Pancakes" at Studio Current is the perfect way to spend a Sunday morning in Seattle.
In a grungy but cheery white-walled basement on Capitol Hill—the kind of space that’s been hosting DIY arts events for decades, but which is becoming one of the casualties of the ‘hood’s gentrification—Erin Jorgensen has a large concert marimba set up in front of about three dozen chairs, almost all full. One woman is knitting,…
This Century-Old Noodle Maker is a Chinatown Pillar
For a century, a Chinatown/International District manufacturer has been turning out a singular product that feeds the community and fuels the multi-generational family business.
The 100-year-old last remnant of the Chinatown/International District’s once-thriving food manufacturing industry, a thin layer of flour coats every surface and a heavenly cookie scent wafts through the air. Ribbons of dough stack up hypnotically on machines that stretch the length of the room and transform raw ingredients into 17 different kinds of noodles and…

Dazed & Amused: Turnpike Troubadours and Miranda Lambert at the Tacoma Dome
Country fans are in for a red-dirt reckoning in the City of Destiny on Feb. 1.
It’s probably going to be pretty cold in Tacoma—and temperature-controlled in the Tacoma Dome—on the night of Thursday, Feb. 1. That’s too bad, because the Turnpike Troubadours should really only be witnessed at a venue where it’s excruciatingly humid and at least 90 degrees outside (or, hell, inside). At such a gig, the mosquitoes must…
Wallingford Bar’s Spin on a Guilty Pleasure Food is the Perfect Drinking Snack
A scratch-made take on a grocery aisle classic.
Lipton’s onion soup mix—and its use in making dip—holds a special place in my heart, next to Aunt Jemima’s phony maple syrup and Jif peanut butter, in the section devoted to processed foods that remind me of childhood. And while nostalgia isn’t required to enjoy the house-made onion dip, sweetened by caramelized onions and accented…
