Happy 75th Clamiversary, Ivar’s!

!–paging_filter–pspan We’re so fortunate to live in a city with a booming restaurant industry, a thriving landscape where new places open so often it’s hard to keep up. (Finally had my first meal at a href=”http://www.rockcreekseattle.com/“Rock Creek/a, chef Eric Donnelly’s seafood resto that opened in July, and loved it!)/span/p
pWhile diners are lining up to try the latest and possibly the greatest, what about all those oldies/goodies? The stalwarts that have been around for decades? Oh, they’re doing just fine, thanks to hordes of hungry regulars./p
pThere’s probably no name that better exemplifies the power of longevity than Ivar’s, an iconic, pun-tastical empire that’s celebrating 75 years of fish and chips and chowder this fall with a whole bunch of a href=”http://www.ivars.com/promos/item/26-promo-2“turn-back-the-clock priced specials/a, the release of itsa href=”http://\/\/seattlemag.com/article/happy-anniversary-ivars” target=”_blank” first cookbook/a, penned by emSeattle /emMagazine contributor Jess Thompson and a lavish five-course a href=”http://www.ivars.com/events/item/65-75th-dinner“Clamiversary Dinner/anbsp;Oct. 24 at Ivar’s Salmon House on Lake Union featuring recipes from the cookbook./p
pHooray and here’s to 75 more!/p
pAnd beyond all those tasty celebrations, what’s as cool as a foggy October morn is the company’s longstanding commitment to a href=”http://www.ivars.com/events/item/292-ivars-gives“give back to the community/a. On Tuesday (Oct. 15), Ivar’s is donating ALL proceeds to a href=”http://www.northwestharvest.org/“Northwest Harvest/a. We dig that! So, go fork over some clams for a good cause.nbsp;/p
