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.

This Washington Hawaiian Spot Piles Kalua Pork And Mac Salad On Plate Lunches Big Enough To Share

Kalua pork that pulls apart with a fork. Loco moco with gravy and egg yolk running through the rice. A family-run bakery right next door selling guava cake. That combo alone sounds like a vacation, but it sits in a small retail strip in an industrial corner of Washington. The plates come with rice and mac salad, the way they do back on the islands.

Gelato now at Bainbridge Pavilion, but Mama Fong's has more on the way

BAINBRIDGE ISLAND -- Physical therapist by day and culinary artist by night, Trish Fong is no stranger to ambitious business ventures. Her newest sits in the Bainbridge Pavilion, right at the cinemas' concession stand: a gelato cart, imported from Italy. Inside the cart's cooler, rotating small-batch flavors of both gelato and sorbetto range from familiar dark chocolate, to adventurous combinations like roasted strawberry with fig balsamic. It’s the icy half of Mama Fong's , a brand-new eatery that has something crunchy, savory and gluten-free incoming -- fiery fried chicken.

Fong would go on to Saint Mary's College, in California's Bay Area, balancing a start in retail food service with her studies.

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.
