Ballard Pizza Company – Ballard, Seattle

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Wednesday 02 May 2012

This is my third post on pizza in three weeks! Ballard Pizza Company is the first of Ethan Stowell‘s Grubb Brothers ‘production’ of casual eateries. After cocktails (a refreshing Inverness mule of Scotch, ginger beer and fresh lime juice) and Mackie’s potato crisps at MacLeod’s Scottish Pub, we joined the Saturday night queue at Ballard [...]

Ken’s Artisan Pizza – Buckman, Portland

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Tuesday 24 April 2012

It was a blissful afternoon of shopping in Portland. Alder & Co., Canoe, Flora, Hive and Woonwinkel were a modern collection of stores with curated homeware, jewellery, artworks and furniture. The contemporary aesthetics and stylish designs were stimulating! We re-caffeinated at Caffe Allora and joined the queue at Ken’s Artisan Pizza for dinner. We were [...]

Delancey – Ballard, Seattle

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Wednesday 18 April 2012

I’m an expert at booking tickets. I note the on sale details on my calendar and I’m on the website at the precise time to click ‘purchase’. Thanks to this quirk I have learnt to brine and roast chicken, knead and throw pizza dough, bake macarons, and pleat dumplings at The Pantry at Delancey. Co-owners [...]

Dinette – Capitol Hill, Seattle

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Wednesday 21 March 2012

I’m always nervous suggesting European restaurants to our French friends. Thankfully we loved the cosy ambience and homely fare of Dinette. I hummed the tune of ‘Four Seasons In One Day‘ by Crowded House all day. Snow, sleet, wind, rain. Repeat. There were moments of brilliant light, silver beams refracted off pewter clouds. On Olive [...]

Serious Pie pizza class – Downtown, Seattle

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Thursday 15 March 2012

I have two pizza classes scheduled within a month. I was at Serious Pie Downtown on a Wednesday morning for the first one. The pizza classes are held on weekdays and Saturdays before the restaurant opens. The city felt lethargic on a cloudy midweek day and it was a little odd walking into an empty [...]

Café Sopra – Sydney, Australia

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Thursday 24 November 2011

In the heart of Sydney is the historical area of The Rocks. Narrow laneways and steep stairs wind around cobblestone footpaths, sandstone buildings and timber wharves, I have fond memories of the Walsh Bay precinct. Home of the Sydney Theatre Company, the waterfront has a spectacular view of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Luna Park. [...]

Off the Menu with Marissa Guggiana and Ethan Stowell at Tavolàta – Belltown, Seattle

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Tuesday 01 November 2011

‘For every dinner service there is a staff meal. Family style celebrations prepared by chefs for their crew, the meals are never on the menu, but are designed to show appreciation, provide energy for the evening, and more importantly, please even the pickiest palate.’ Marissa Guggiana We joined Marissa at Tavolàta for an Off the [...]

Artusi – Capitol Hill, Seattle

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Monday 24 October 2011

With bravado we ventured to Spinasse on Saturday without a reservation. Their dinner service commences at five o’clock and I expected a short wait arriving at seven thirty. The restaurant was full with a wait list and the maître d’ recommended Artusi next door. We were directed to the back where a corridor connects the [...]

MOD Pizza – Downtown, Seattle

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Wednesday 12 October 2011

Town Hall Seattle is a deceptive name. It is not an official government building but a community venue with a diverse programme of events. We have attended several author events there but have struggled to find a place for a quick dinner nearby. A thoroughfare for traffic, it is an awkward neighbourhood to navigate on [...]

Eataly – Flatiron District, New York

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Friday 23 September 2011

‘Italy is Eataly.’ And Eataly is the size of all five David Jones Foodhalls in one location combined with the absurd Scandinavian navigation of IKEA. I was exploring the Flatiron District after lunch at Shake Shack and I found myself at the entrance of Eataly. I stood on the sidewalk for several minutes, observing the [...]
