I’m quite sure I have found the city’s best dining deal. I eat out more often than I’d like, so it’s difficult to describe the joy and satisfaction of finding a place where I only need to shell out a small amount of my hard-earned money and receive insanely good food worth so much more [...] read more →

At 3:45 on a Friday morning, there are seven customers inside downtown’s Night Kitchen (216 Stewart Street, 448-8810): a young couple sitting within whispering distance; another couple on a date, the man in leather pants, the woman in a velvet bustier, her Star Wars lunchbox purse on the table; two men dining solo, one at [...] read more →

Town Hall’s got Moby (yes, that Moby), but afterward, PubliCola’s got Kurt Timmermeister, local farmer and cheesemaker.

It leaves us susceptible to colds and the flu, which seem to have affected everyone in town lately. (On top of sickness, those of us with allergies know that spring also means high tree [...] read more →

As I was sitting on the couch with my boyfriend watching Winning Time: Reggie Miller vs. The New York Knicks (part of ESPN’s awesome 30 for 30 series of sports documentaries), a late-night craving for something sweet set in, [...] read more →

Tilikum Place Café (407 Cedar St, 282-4830), has been open, relatively quietly, since November 2008. I say quietly because while I hear its name tossed around constantly by Seattle foodies, writers, and chefs, its popularity doesn’t seem to have spread widely throughout the city.

Of all the (suddenly hip) street food vendors that popped up throughout the city last year, Eastlake’s Tako Truk was by far the best. Delectable and unexpected taco fillings (coconut-braised pork belly with fried potato sticks, massaman curry beef tongue, octopus and yogurt) aside, Tako Truk’s true beauty was that its purpose was the same [...] read more →

After six hours of trying to make sense of U.S. Census data, I was confused and close to tears. I was also hungry—a deadly combination. There is a reason, I reminded myself, that I am a food writer and not a statistician. It was clearly time to stop, step away from the computer, and eat [...] read more →
