Pop Kitchen + Bar – Queen Anne, Seattle

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Tuesday 22 May 2012

Disclosure: I attended this event as a guest of GreenRubino. This is not a sponsored post. I had had lunch at Pop Kitchen + Bar prior to going home to Australia in November. I returned yesterday to sample their happy hour fare courtesy of GreenRubino. An afternoon downpour was looming and I was glad to be [...]

The National Dining Rooms – Trafalgar Square, London

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Wednesday 09 May 2012

We had intended on going to Oxford on our first day in London. But alas, the weather conspired to confine us to indoor activities. Our umbrella gallantly shielded us from rain and wind as we waited for The Wolseley to open for breakfast. Thanks to Paola for the recommendation, the eggs Benedict, croissant and classic English (eggs, bacon, sausage, baked [...]

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 [...]

Teppan Village – Whistler, British Columbia

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Thursday 12 April 2012

I had neglected the final post from our Christmas trip to Whistler. Teppan Village had been floundering at the bottom of my draft folder until I noticed it this week. I clicked on it with a wry smile, the lapse in time a contrast to the speed of the meal. Our teppanyaki (鉄板焼き) was cooked [...]

La Bête – Capitol Hill, Seattle

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Thursday 05 April 2012

La Bête has the lowest visibility of all the restaurants I’ve dined at in Seattle. Thankfully it was an early impromptu dinner and there was still plenty of natural light with daylight saving. Dark tones and dim chandeliers absorbed the dusk hues. The L shaped dining room had an intimate ambience. A spectacular wooden counter [...]

Il Corvo mushroom farm harvest dinner at [storefront] Olson Kundig Architects – Pioneer Square, Seattle

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Monday 19 March 2012

A collaboration between CityLab7, Olson Kundig Architects and Schuchart/Dow, the mushroom farm was installed at [storefront] in Pioneer Square. Funded by Invoking the Pause, the Fertile Grounds project by CityLab7 partnered with local cafés, Caffe Umbria, Starbucks and Zeitgeist, to reuse coffee grounds to grow oyster mushrooms. One of the events of the pop up concept was a [...]

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 [...]

Emmer and Rye – Queen Anne, Seattle

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Thursday 16 February 2012

Seattle enjoyed a week of sunshine in late January. The Emerald City shone, and residents and visitors dispersed outdoors to revel in its glorious beauty. I uttered the phrase ‘the mountains are out’ with glee, admiring the snow-capped range reflecting light in the solitary distance. After a Keren Brown event with authors Karen Page and [...]

Back to the Basics at The Pantry at Delancey – Ballard, Seattle

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Thursday 26 January 2012

Sydney has more than seven times the population of Seattle but sometimes it feels like both cities have the same volume of traffic. It was gridlock en route to The Pantry at Delancey‘s Back to the Basics cooking class on a weeknight. I slowly inched towards Ballard, anxious about being on time. I noted a [...]

Oddfellows Café – Capitol Hill, Seattle

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Monday 23 January 2012

The weekend was slick with rain. We revelled in the precipitation after a week of snow, sleet, hail, ice, slush and sub zero Celsius temperatures. Salt and pepper mounds of ice were the melting remnants of ‘snow-mageddon, snow-pocaplyse, Western Washington winter walloping’. We splashed up to Capitol Hill for brunch. Oddfellows Café was a convenient location for our hobbling [...]
