One of my Top-5 Favorite Dishes
"Fresh from the fryer and served with various sauces, these doughnuts are tasty, fresh, warm, sexy and fun. It's nothing short of awesome."
The Rainier Club
One of my Top-5 Favorite Dishes
"From the grilled bread to the sloppy mess that you are left with, this is hands down one of the best sandwiches on the planet. Braised pork shoulder, ham, Swiss and pickles are grill-pressed. It's damn good!"
Matt’s in the Market
One of my Top-5 Favorite Dishes
"What do chefs eat at home after a long day at the restaurant? Take-out pizza from Pagliacci, that's what! "
Flying Fish
One of my Top-5 Favorite Dishes
"This is the best reinvention of this traditional country snack I have ever had. Plus, the black truffle fondue they serve them with would even make cardboard taste good."
Café Campagne, Campagne Restaurant, Marché
One of my Top-5 Favorite Dishes
"Skillet Diner has a great cornmeal waffle that's especially crispy. It goes perfectly with the sweet, tender, maple-braised pork belly."
Fresh Bistro, Herban Feast Catering
One of my Top-5 Favorite Dishes
"Bigoli is a buckwheat pasta with anchovies, garlic, chili, and breadcrumbs. It has great texture and spice! It's a mainstay on the A&O menu and Ethan Stowell's crew does a great job of executing it every time."
Ba Bar, Monsoon (Seattle & Bellevue)
One of my Top-5 Favorite Dishes
"This may sound like an odd dish to pick as an all-time Seattle favorite, but it deserves special attention. People talk about the fish when ordering sushi or sashimi, but to me, it's the balance of sweet and acid that stands out, and the texture of the rice at Nishino is always prefect, each and every grain."
Dahlia Lounge
One of my Top-5 Favorite Dishes
"This is a half-pound beef burger topped with bacon, cheese and a special sauce. It's juicy and messy. Don't miss the fries fried in beef fat. They're to die for."
Volunteer Park Cafe
One of my Top-5 Favorite Dishes
"The pizzas here are the best in Seattle. When they're in season, the padron-pepper pizza is my favorite. You can't beat it. It's my favorite topping on the best pie in town."
Anchovies & Olives, How to Cook a Wolf, Staple & Fancy Mercantile, Tavolata
One of my Top-5 Favorite Dishes
"I once had to eat here two nights in a row just to have the fried oysters again. These are cravable and worth the short and beautiful ferry ride to Whidbey Island."
Cafe Juanita
One of my Top-5 Favorite Dishes
"I usually just let the kitchen cook for me because it showcases what's in season, but if not, I head straight for the pasta section of the menu. Their gnocchi, served with bolognese, is great."
Canlis
One of my Top-5 Favorite Dishes
"The liver terrine has an absolutely perfect, smooth texture with a rich, sweet flavor. It’s usually the thing I want to eat at the end of both great days and bad days."
Sazerac Restaurant & Bar
One of my Top-5 Favorite Dishes
"Order this spicy and it will burn your face off. Finally, a place that doesn't take the word 'hot' for granted. Spike it and they add a hot link to it—that's pork-on-pork action!"
Bastille Cafe & Bar
One of my Top-5 Favorite Dishes
"I've been going to this restaurant for over 12 years and I've never had a mediocre meal. I nearly always get the same thing: tuna carpaccio, the city's best Caesar salad and eggplant Parmesan. Nothing revolutionary, but deeply satisfying."
Artusi, Spinasse
One of my Top-5 Favorite Dishes
"At this fine-dining restaurant, this dish, made of 14-day, dry-aged duck, is one of the first I had from chef Jason Franey and it's downright inspiring—borderline perfect. I love everything about it. It serves two."
Crush
One of my Top-5 Favorite Dishes
"I'm a dumpling lover and Revel's are my favorite in town. Try them all, but my top vote goes to the cauliflower ricotta, black truffle sesame, pickled leek. Rachel Yang and Seif Chirchi never cease to amaze!"
Trophy Cupcakes
One of my Top-5 Favorite Dishes
"This is true Tokyo-style ramen. The chewy noodles are made in-house, the broth is cloudy, rich, and satisfying, and the pork is tender and full of flavor."
Poppy
One of my Top-5 Favorite Dishes
"The crisp Romaine, rich Caesar dressing, hot crispy oysters, and Parmigiano-Reggiano provide a nice contrast of both flavors and textures. There's just enough dressing to compliment the fresh taste of the oysters without overpowering them. I can't get enough of this dish!"
John Howie Steak, Seastar, Sport
One of my Top-5 Favorite Dishes
"Brunch at Revel is amazing! Make sure you get the Revel ramen with kimchi, egg, and pork belly! Put yourself in the chef's hands."
Lark
One of my Top-5 Favorite Dishes
"This finely-cut egg pasta comes with your choice of butter and sage or raguù. I could tear into a massive bowl of it right now. It's so freakin' delicious."
Skillet
One of my Top-5 Favorite Dishes
"I’m a sucker for a taco truck. The carnitas tacos at El Asadero with lime, onions, and cilantro hit the spot every time."
Marination Mobile
One of my Top-5 Favorite Dishes
"Ordered 'on tray,' this Vietnamese dish comes with a huge platter of greens and Asian herbs for rolling up with rice noodles, char-grilled chicken and pork, skewered shrimp and crispy spring rolls. I always ask for extra pickled veggies! The prices are so reasonable, too."
Dish D’Lish, Kathy Casey Food Studios
One of my Top-5 Favorite Dishes
"It's hard to find a good croissant in Seattle, but this is the place to do it. These take me back to Paris. They're full of flaky, buttery goodness. "
Allium
One of my Top-5 Favorite Dishes
"At this fine-dining 'gastropub,' these sliders pair perfectly with their cocktails."
Tilth, Golden Beetle
One of my Top-5 Favorite Dishes
"Miles James is cooking straightforward food. His charcuterie is about flavor, simplicity and good technique. The polish sausage is smoky, juicy and delicious."
Spring Hill
One of my Top-5 Favorite Dishes
"Chef Eric Banh makes good, thoughtful food with a light hand. His famous banana cake is no exception. The sweet cake is steamed and drizzled with a savory coconut sauce. Delicious!"
Inn at Langley
One of my Top-5 Favorite Dishes
"Plan on having a margarita at the back bar while you wait to eat at this perfectly casual and chic Mexican restaurant. The food is always delicious and well-made."
Boat Street Cafe, The Walrus and the Carpenter
One of my Top-5 Favorite Dishes
"If you only think 'raw fish,' you will miss out on one of the sexiest and simplest bites of food: seared salmon belly. Fatty and delicious, it melts on your tongue leaving you with a post-coital feeling inside. This is a death-row bite not to be missed!"
Chef at Large
One of my Top-5 Favorite Dishes
"Hands down, this is the best sandwich in Seattle. It's a real old-school haunt with live jazz and a friendly owner. Few people in Seattle make it up to this sandwich shop, but it is worth the trip to 198th. "
Emmer & Rye
One of my Top-5 Favorite Dishes
"Not your usual bacon and eggs, this dish at one of Seattle's top restaurants is actually comprised of an amazing warm custard with smoked salmon roe and a bourbon maple syrup. This is delicious and really well balanced."
Book Bindery
One of my Top-5 Favorite Dishes
"Chris Keff does a great job with fish in general. Her platter of a whole fried fish served with Asian pancakes and spicy sauces really hits the spot."
Elliott Bay Cafe, Terra Plata
One of my Top-5 Favorite Dishes
"Delicious pork and a crispy baguette. Ask for it toasted and watch out for the jalapeños!"
Rover’s, LUC
One of my Top-5 Favorite Dishes
"Only a Frenchman with a dedicated cook for a mother could leave this dish as simple as it should be. Voila! Chef Thierry has done just that. Perfectly tender beef, regular mushrooms and luscious carrots finished with flat-leaf parsley are all it takes! "
Brave Horse Tavern, Cuoco, Dahlia Lounge, Etta’s, Lola, Palace Kitchen, Seatown, Serious Pie, Ting Momo
One of my Top-5 Favorite Dishes
"Fu Lin is just a hole-in-the-wall in the International District, but they do a really great job with their broth. And when it comes to ramen, it's all about the broth."
Spur, Tavern Law, The Coterie Room
One of my Top-5 Favorite Dishes
"This is topped with pomodoro, mozzarella di bufala, grana and basil. Via Trib is the only place to get this type of quality mozzarella in Seattle. "
Mistral Kitchen
