Seattle chef Lisa Nakamura struggled to balance her personal life with the demands of her profession: long hours, working weekends, nights, and holidays, and never calling in sick. Hint: she does it. Elevated is a series where chefs talk challenges faced, and challenges overcome. Sponsored
Where I Go Out
Aburi sushi
$$$, Japanese, Gastropub, Sushi, Downtown
"Sushi. Vancouver. #1. 'Nuff said. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ minamiyaletown"
Dumplings
$$, Dumplings, Chinese,
"One for you. The rest for me 😝Jokes! Loved sharing a meal with @#dinestydumplinghouse"
Soft serve
$$, Desserts, Coffee Shop, Bakery, Breakfast, Carroll Gardens
"#milkbar soft serve 🍦🥛🍜 Hello Toronto! 😘"
Pistacchio di bronte gelato
$$, Ice Cream, Old Ballard
"This is out of this world, and with healthy portions, too. When I usually have pistachio desserts, I don't get much sense of pistachio, but in this gelato, the flavor is there! It's not overpowering, and it's really creamy. It's just a very, very nice gelato."
PB&J macaroon
$$, French, Bakery, Lounge, Capitol Hill
"This is pretty freaking delicious. I like it because macaroons are traditionally very French, yet there's this American twist to it that I think is very lovely. Often when you get macaroons, it's difficult to get much flavor from something so small, and it doesn't live up to its assigned flavor, but this one definitely did!"
