Baby, It’s Warm Inside…

Monday, December 7th, 2009

What’s with the weather? We’re experiencing extremes we’re not used to. It’s supposed to get even colder tonight and stay cold through the rest of this week. Need some ideas for hearty foods or warming drinks? Here you are:

CANLIS

  • Enjoy something from the best Scotch collection in Seattle.
  • Cozy up in the lounge for lamb sliders and truffle fries.

Tilth

  • Smoked heirloom bean cassoulet

Matt’s in the Market

  • Sloppy Joe — hanger steak bacon sloppy joe, brioche, fried egg, house-made salt/pepper chips
  • Grilled Cheese – toasted potato bread, seasonal conserve, daily cheese selection w/ San Marzano tomato soup (cheeses include: Gruyere, queso Oaxaca, cotija, valdeon, manchego, provolone, cambozola, or a
    combination of two)

The Hotel Sorrento

  • Happy hour at the Fireside Lounge. Get a cocktail and sink into one of the wingbacks by the fire.
  • Grilled cheese & tomato soup — Beecher’s cheese on Macrina brioche

La Spiga

  • Lasagna verde – Layers of green lasagna noodles filled with ragu, béchamel and Parmigiano Reggiano
  • Enjoy a selection from the grappa cart — burns so good!

Fuel/High 5 Pies

  • Coffee, pie and free wi-fi. ‘Nuff said.

TASTE Restaurant at SAM

  • Fig-infused Maker’s Mark hot toddy
  • Roasted tomato soup and grilled cheese

Chipotle

  • A big burrito with carnitas and beans is pretty hearty and warming. Visit the new location at 3rd and Pike downtown.

TASTE Responsibly

TASTE Restaurant at the Seattle Art Museum has invested more than $1 million in the local agricultural economy in its effort to support sustainability. On the latest menus, TASTE lists the percentage of ingredients that come from Washington and Oregon:

  • Dinner, 53 percent Washington and Oregon ingredients
  • Lunch, 46 percent
  • Bar, 44 percent

It’s just one more way to encourage people to TASTE Responsibly.

The Recipes Are Free

Tuesday, September 18th, 2007

On Saturday at the University District Farmers Market, we launched the Chef in Residence program. A chef sits at a booth ready to answer any questions about cooking that shoppers may pose. It’s meant to be a service for market goers, who otherwise may avoid unfamiliar produce. The advice is geared toward the home cook, so recipe ideas are simple and straightforward. (By the way, some people asked the cost of the recipe cards; they seemed suspicious about our presence and assumed we were selling something. For the record, the recipe cards are free.)

Elise Fineberg, the pastry chef at TASTE Restaurant, was the first on the roster. One shopper posted her experience on her blog. It’s a cute anecdote. For a list of the guest chefs, read this post.
