One Year In, Lenox's Dreams Are All Coming True

One Year In, Lenox’s Dreams Are All Coming True

It's just like chef-owner Jhonny Reyes imagined

Jhonny Reyes used to look at the former Marco’s Supper Club and The Innkeeper space in Belltown with envy. “I’ve always had my eye on this place,” Reyes says, while telling the story of how his restaurant, Lenox, polymorphed from popup to food truck to brick-and-mortar. “I helped open The Innkeeper, actually. And then it…

Seattle’s ice cream game keeps it cool when the heat rolls in

Last summer, I romped around New England playing the sweaty tourist. Somewhere in Vermont, my family discovered maple creemees — those impossibly smooth soft-serve cones made with maple syrup and finished with rainbow sprinkles. We had one every day. Washington doesn’t do creemees, but the local ice cream scene more than makes up for it….

Washington state is the top asparagus grower in the U.S. Here’s how — and where — to enjoy it.

Asparagus is an anagram for “a sugar spa.” Washington farmers say local asparagus is as refreshing, clean, appealing and good for you as a traditional spa. Asparagus is low in sugar and high in fiber, Vitamins A, C and K, and antioxidants, says Washington Asparagus Commission Executive Director and Pasco farmer Alan Schreiber. “It is generally one of the most healthy things…

New Canlis Head Chef Comes From Within

New Canlis Head Chef Comes From Within

James Huffman is already making a difference at the upscale restaurant

In a lot of ways, Wednesday’s dinner service at Canlis was vintage Canlis. The stunning views of the sunset reflecting off Lake Union on a 68-degree day were the backdrop from the upscale restaurant’s perch on the east cliff of Queen Anne Hill. It was unique, however, in one distinct manner. After a search that stretched nationally to New York and…

It’s safe to bet that anyone who’s ever flown on Alaska Airlines is probably familiar with its infamous fruit and cheese plate.

Seattle’s food scene is heating up with the weather

Some would say Seattle’s food scene is at its best when the impact stretches beyond the immediate benefits of nourishment and taste. That’s certainly the case at Cherry Street Farm, where Hip Hop is Green founder Keith Tuckets uses a shipping container hydroponic farm to help feed Seattle families, with future plans to educate kids…

Molly Moon’s opens new waterfront shop, just in time for summer

I remember the first time I had Molly Moon’s Homemade Ice Cream. It was 2008, not long after I’d moved to Seattle. After sushi with friends in Wallingford, we joined the line that wrapped down the block. I got a scoop of honey lavender with lemon curd and a very fancy cherry on top. It was…

Hidden in Plain Sight: The Local 104

Hidden in Plain Sight: The Local 104

The Local 104 is doing wood-fired pizza, housemade ice cream, and craft beer — served by some longtime Seattle restaurateurs

When I was a student at Cornish College of the Arts in the late ’90s, still learning what I liked about food, I was deeply in love with a restaurant called 611 Supreme. On East Pine Street between Belmont and Boylston, 611 Supreme was a dreamy French-ish bistro of my never-traveled-anywhere teenage dreams: shabby chic…

Counter Culture: Burien Fish House

Counter Culture: Burien Fish House

Don’t be deceived by this restaurant’s humble appearance

Nestled in a small strip mall in an industrial corner of Burien, the Burien Fish House may not look like much from the outside, but don’t let its unassuming location fool you. This restaurant serves all the classic fish house fare — fish and chips, clam chowder, calamari, and one of the best places in…
