The brunch at Monsoon for Vietnamese and French influences (my 13-year-old can get French toast, and I can get oxtail). I crisp up and render the pork belly a bit, but the barbecue pork and ribs are perfect with their hot mustard and sesame seeds. Mixed barbecue pork at Kau Kau BBQ in the I.D.-perfect take-home. I didn’t quite know what the fuss was until I tried their numbers one, three and seven hotdogs. In the summer, buy the ginger biscuits to make your own berry shortcake.įor a classic sip on the way home, a Negroni at Il Bistro in that secluded, hip, Spanish-cave-like bar with sweet bartender David.īest recent bite/new craving is Dog Japon at Second and Pike (downtown). Nobody on the planet has better pastries than Cafe Besalu. Serious Pie, especially the clam and house pancetta pizza.Ĭulinary operator at Monte Cristo grilled cheese food truck The coffee in Europe doesn’t even come close to the coffee in Seattle, so I crave a high-quality shot of straight espresso: Caffé Vita (), first choice, then Stumptown. But my fallback is American whiskey and a lager, at someplace close to home- Rob Roy in Belltown or Vessel downtown.

The cocktail you want to drink at midnight on a snowy day is entirely different from the one you want on a hot summer day. What’s your ideal Sunday-morning breakfast out? For a splurge: Chicken Valley’s mixed fried gizzards and liver. Little green bottles of house white wine at The Pink Door. Toasted whole wheat bread at The Crumpet Shop with butter and honey. What’s the best thing to eat at Pike Place Market? Also, Il Terrazzo Carmine, a great business lunch place and one of the few places where casual Seattle still does a formal lunch. They bring out sun-dried tomato and black olive tapenade with homemade focaccia to go with your apéritif, and they’re not surprised when you ask for a wine list on a Wednesday afternoon. What do you think is the best lunch in Seattle?įormal sit-down lunches at Barolo for Italian hanger steak. The terminal with boats is a quintessential Seattle view. What do you crave when you return home from a trip?Ĭedar-planked salmon with red pepper and beurre blanc with little potatoes and focaccia at Chinook’s. A great place for singles to sit at the bar.Ĭheeseburger, fries and a small Coke at Dick’s! I hope that nobody recognizes me when I go! A wonderful Italian spot, and the owner is the consummate bartender. My rule: “You should never have more than one.” The biggest (12 ounces!) and the best in the city? Canlis.Ĭantinetta. (Cheri: 9/10 Great veggie option packed with flavor.What’s your favorite drink and your favorite place to drink it?Ī Manhattan. Steamed mushroom vegetarian dumplings, 10000 won.

Simple dish done well.)īraised beef noodle soup, 8800 won. (Cheri: 8.5/10 Amazingly fresh noodles, perfectly cooked to the right consistency. Plain noodle soup with green vegetables, 5000 won. I tried to get a review on camera but all I got was this. I can't say there are a ton of amazing Taiwanese or Chinese food options in Seoul (backed by what the natives tell me), so I was happy to stumble across this restaurant, especially since this was my first VEGETARIAN DUMPLING find in Korea! ^^ Last week, I made my second visit to Din Tai Fung (the first at the Kangnam location), a relatively well awarded Taiwanese dumpling chain. But more on that later once I sort through all the footage! In the meantime, here's a fitting preview for what's to come. I'm back from Hong Kong and Macau! We took nearly 550 pictures and videos (not bad for a 3 night trip), and I'm pretty sure I gained at least 5 lbs from dim sum brunches alone.
