Dear Seattleite Readers,
Welcome to the Seattleite Book Club – the only virtual book club that spotlights the Pacific Northwest’s own authors and publishers!
It’s déjà vu all over again: Superbowl XLVI features an all too-familiar Patriots-Giants matchup at the middle-of-almost-nowhere Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. While Seattleites may not have a hometown team to root for or a West Coast venue to gloat over, South Seattleites have a new local spot to mix things up – to band together and root against the East Coast team of their choosing this Superbowl.
This week the social media universe erupted with the news that beloved West Seattle restaurant Spring Hill will change its name to Ma’ono and its menu focus to fried chicken. This is welcomed news, indeed, for the denizens who often failed to score coveted reservations to their famed Monday night fried chicken dinners of late.

With the weather dominating both sides of Lake Washington, requiring all those living in Seattle proper and abroad to test our sense of humor and backbones in this grey winter, it’s nice to see an eatery like the Beach Café in Kirkland having a bit of fun.

A pintxo should not be confused with a tapa. The pintxo, a small plate or snack of Basque Country, Spain origin, is a hobnob – a conduit to socialize at a bar, tavern or restaurant and is thought to be the bedrock of Basque culture. The main difference between the two is simple – a pintxo is more often than not skewered by a toothpick.
