This Family Barbecue Joint in an Old Washington Auto Garage Only Serves Lunch, and the Brisket Sandwiches Need Extra Napkins

A hot sauce so fierce it has its own nickname, and you have to ask to meet it. They call it The Man, and it gets spooned out of a small, well-used pot like a family treasure. The sauce lives inside a converted auto garage in Washington, close to a busy freeway. The kitchen only serves lunch, so timing matters.

This Old-School Washington Deli’s Reuben Is So Huge It’s Worth the Detour to Bellevue

The Reuben here is so tall that plenty of people give up on their hands and reach for a fork and knife. That’s not a gimmick. That’s just how this sandwich arrives. The corned beef gets piled high, and the sandwich lands next to a scoop of potato salad. Pastrami gets the same generous treatment.

Crispy Fried Oysters Come Heaped In Paper Boats At These 10 Washington Seafood Counters

At one oyster bar on Hood Canal, the fried oysters get tossed in buffalo sauce seasoned with kelp. Seaweed in the hot sauce. I needed a minute with that one. It turns out Washington takes its fried oysters seriously, even at places where you order at a counter and grab your own napkins. One spot coats them in crushed saltines.

We tasted a dozen dumpling brands, and the best ones aren’t sold at the supermarket. Frozen dumplings sit on the God tier of quick dinners. Depending on the flavor, they form a complete meal—protein, carb, and veg—on their own, and most go from freezer to plate in less time than it would take to so much as choose a restaurant from which to order in. But there’s something better than the shiny packages from supermarket shelves.
