Tom Douglas’ Cuoco Brings People-Pleasing Pasta to South Lake Union
Hand-crafted pastas, serious steaks and a welcoming atmosphere make this new restaurant a standout.
It surprises me to say it, but I do believe we may have the old Tom Douglas back. Ignore the so-so start that Douglas’ South Lake Union Tibetan dumpling joint, Ting Momo (opened in April; see my review on page 44), has had. And forget for a minute his rocky dining concepts at Pike Place…
Food We Love: Garlic Chicken Wings at Hue Ky Mi Gia
Crunchy, meaty and crusty; these wings are addictive.
At Hue Ky Mi Gia, the relatively new, family-owned Chinese noodle shop in the yellow strip mall on Jackson Street, noodles are the star attraction (I like the roasted duck with dry-style noodles). But take a gander at the tables all around the room and you’ll notice there’s one other dish everyone seems to have…

I Can Haz Cheezburger CEO Ben Huh Lands on GQ’s Worst-dressed List— and He’s Rallying for a Recount
You know, some people might take it personally. But when Ben Huh, CEO of Seattle-based ICanHasCheezburger.com popped up as the number 10 offender on GQ’s worst-dressed men of Silcon Valley list this month, he took the honor in classic good humor— and then issued the publication a challenge. Yesterday, our 2010 Most Influential honoree posted…
The Bourbon Buzz: How to Score the New Dry Fly
There’s a whole lot of to-do about this Saturday’s Seattle release of Dry Fly Bourbon, which is being billed as “the first-ever commercially produced bourbon in Washington State.” Half of the limited-release production of 480 bottles hit the streets last week in Spokane, where Dry Fly is based. Dry Fly distiller Patrick Donovan tells me…
Food News: Phinney on Fire!
Look out, Ballard: Phinney Ridge is giving you a run for your money! At least when it comes to new restaurants. A year ago it was all Ballard all the time (Walrus, Staple), but this summer it’s all about the Ridge. I mean that literally: The Ridge Restaurant, from the owners of Prost! and Nickerson Street Saloon, will be supremely kid-friendly, from…

Coffee heads take note: Seattle Coffee Works is serving up FREE samples of Colombia Cup of Excellence–a coffee that typically goes for $100 a pound–this Friday at 1 p.m. Why pour the good stuff for free? It might have something to do with the fact that Andrew Zimmern, the wild and hungry TV personality–with a…
Eat Rural at Local Farm Dinners
My ultimate dream of living off five acres of lush organically-farmed land (preferably in southern France) surrounded by happy farm animals who are all friends and adore me even though I’m going to someday eat them has yet to become a reality. So until then, I’m just going to have to invite myself over to…

Brave Horse Tavern, a Fun and Noisy Pub
Tom Douglas's rowdy beer hall, where the food's better than it needs to be.
South Lake Union is a neighborhood that barely existed five years ago, and so we’ve watched as the essentials have been checked off steadily over the years. Good coffee at Vivace. Check! Cozy lunch spots: Nollie’s, Yellow Dot, Row House Cafe. Check! And now, thanks to Tom Douglas, we can check rowdy college pub (for…
Uneeda Burger is Addictive
Burgers and more with an eye on every detail.
I’ve been waiting since deep, dark winter, when Uneeda Burger opened, to plant myself on its sunset-facing patio on a warm summer night. With a burger made from local meat topped with, say, roasted chile relish, pepper jack cheese and cilantro (that’s the Sonora, $8) and a pint of Odin’s ruby ale, it’d be tough…
