Looking for some hot fun in the summer time? I’ve got the party for you. Slide your hide into the leather seats of your convertible (or minivan, or jalopy, just get yourself there, kids) and head on up to Tulalip Casino on July 7th for a night on the patio spent tasting some of the biggest red wines Washington has to offer alongside award-winning cuisine.
This year in addition to the usual star-studded lineup of famous chefs from around the region, Chef Mike Easton of Il Corvo Pasta notoriety, will get down with his bad self and a Sardinian-style goat.
Last year I wrote about what was probably the most mind-expanding dinner I’ve ever eaten. It took place at the Modernist Cuisine Laboratory, where the James Beard award-winning culinary tome, Modernist Cuisine, was created. Many of you know by now that Modernist Cuisine swept the globe with
Tucked just around the corner from Post Alley on Stewart, Cha:n Restaurant sits sleek and unassuming, waiting for the chance to open your eyes to the world of Korean cuisine. I think of the menu as comfort Korean, with many small but filling bites, just right for sharing.
If you caught this column last week, you know that the best place to stay in Whistler in the spring is the Nita Lake Lodge. Check out the full review for all the juicy details.

In addition to sprucing up her exterior, SkyCity restaurant’s menu got a little help from five Seattle icons. The 50th anniversary menu is available now through May 31st, and it includes five courses for only $62.
Spring is out in full force in Seattle and with it, the opportunity to eat and drink all manner of lovely things apropos of more gentle weather. Of course it’s also a time when we all wish we could stretch our wings and fly off to some far-flung global destination, but if your job and responsibilities don’t allow you to flee the floods just yet, why not bring the world to your fingertips in the form of libations and nosh?

Little known fact: I was a vegetarian for two decades, which is why I’m making up for lost porcine time now that I’ve hit my dirty thirties.
