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 [...]

Whole Foods Market Lynnwood tour

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Tuesday 13 March 2012

Disclosure: I attended this event as a guest of Curator PR. This is not a sponsored post. I’m a slow grocery shopper. I browse the aisles for discounts, read the nutrition labels, convert measurements to metric, and compare brands. AmazonFresh delivers our non-perishable staples, and we’re lucky to live within walking distance to Melrose Market [...]

Salumi – Pioneer Square, Seattle

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Thursday 08 March 2012

I celebrated Australia Day (26 January) with a private lunch at Salumi courtesy of Naomi. Founded by Mario Batali‘s father Armandino, Salumi is a family business that produces artisan cured meats with a retail store in historic Pioneer Square. Resplendent in firecracker red, a tasselled Chinese lantern was sketched on the chalkboard. There was a [...]

Foodportunity at Palace Ballroom – Downtown, Seattle

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Tuesday 07 February 2012

I attended my first Foodportunity yesterday evening at the Palace Ballroom, a networking event founded by the inimitable Keren Brown. A screen projected the live Foodportunity Twitter feed. The lovely Keren spoke briefly to thank Foodportunity’s sponsors and supporters, and drew the winners of the business card raffle. My first taste was at Metropolitan Market, the main sponsor of [...]

Spur Gastropub – Belltown, Seattle

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Monday 06 February 2012

We celebrated our first anniversary in Seattle with dinner at Spur. We had a cosy evening at the gastropub during the miserable spring of last year and loved the experience. Located next to The Coterie Room, Spur is the original restaurant by Chefs McCracken and Tough. The ambience was warm and bistro like. A narrow room is [...]

Momofuku Seiōbo – Sydney, Australia

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Tuesday 17 January 2012

It’s been nearly two months since our meal at Momofuku Seiōbo. David Chang‘s first restaurant outside of New York City is located in The Star. The owners of the only casino in Sydney spent one billion dollars on the refurbishment over two years. Torrential rain and peak hour traffic had us worried we would be [...]

Tom Douglas Cookbook Social at Palace Ballroom – Downtown, Seattle

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Friday 02 December 2011

I attended the annual Tom Douglas Cookbook Social held at the Palace Ballroom yesterday. Christmas carols were playing and it was a convivial atmosphere. A food lover’s mistletoe, cookbooks tied with ribbon bows dangled from the ceiling. Authors were dispersed around the room, their stalls laden with cookbooks and samples. Cute CakeSpy illustrations greeted patrons. [...]

SousVide Supreme Demi – egg

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Monday 28 November 2011

Disclosure: I received a demo product from Duo PR. This is not a sponsored post. A dish that I’ve frequently reflected on from the Sharone Hakman and SousVide Supreme event is the eggs with asparagus and brioche croutons. The freshness of the ingredients was highlighted by cooking them sous vide, their essence presented on a plate. [...]

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 [...]
