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 [...]

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 [...]

The Capital Grille – Downtown, Seattle

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Wednesday 11 January 2012

Disclosure: This was a complimentary meal courtesy of JGA PR. This is not a sponsored post. Weekday lunch can be a functional meal. There were times in Sydney where I gobbled sushi rolls, rice paper rolls and salads at my desk in between meetings. But a benefit of working in the city was being within walking distance to many restaurants. Some [...]

Hot Buns Bakery – Whistler, British Columbia

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Wednesday 04 January 2012

I dislike mornings. With enough sleep, I still wake up in a fog. I perfected a silent routine in Sydney with the singular goal of hugging a cup of coffee at my work desk. I breathed in the caffeine aroma and slowly sipped the warm bittersweet liquid. A skim mocha was prerequisite to my human interactions. I have [...]

Bearfoot Bistro – Whistler, British Columbia

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Thursday 29 December 2011

It snowed in Whistler on Christmas Day and I loved it. Snowflakes zigzagged gently from the sky and dusted every surface. I was delighted with my first white Christmas. The powdered slopes were serene and the magic carpet was quiet. We skied in the morning and relaxed in the afternoon. Bearfoot Bistro was recommended by Naomi and was conveniently located [...]

King Noodle – Chinatown-International District, Seattle

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Monday 12 December 2011

This is our first full winter in Seattle and I’m learning the art of layering, and loving the essential quartet of coat, scarf, gloves and boots. I’m searching for a hat and considering ear muffs! There is only one walking pace on a frigid day and that is brisk. My glasses fogged up when I [...]

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. [...]

Poppy – Capitol Hill, Seattle

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Wednesday 30 November 2011

We only knew a handful of people when we moved to Seattle. Ms D-R, an Irish American, has been hospitable and introduced us to some of her friends. We joined them this month at Poppy for their restaurant club. The ‘host’ is rotated each month and is responsible for selecting the restaurant and booking a table. [...]

Samurai Noodle – Chinatown-International District, Seattle

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Thursday 01 September 2011

If we were to play a word association game, the word ‘samurai’ conjures up the Samurai Pizza Cats anime for me. I have only vague memories of the show dubbed in English. Sword wielding, crime fighting cats who are undercover (or are they moonlighting) as owners of a pizzeria? I found myself humming the tune of the theme song as [...]

Lecosho – Downtown, Seattle

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Monday 22 August 2011

Seattle is vibrant in late summer. The brilliant weather has us all out and about. Keen to be outdoors in the balmy dusk, we strolled through Pike Place Market to Lecosho. The patio emptied of Downtown workers as we perused the drinks menu. Our table had a direct view into the main dining room. Furnished in [...]
