Teriyaki spot scores 100 red points. Here are Thurston Co. food scores for Nov. 10

Comments are taken directly from the latest Thurston County Public Health and Social Services (PHSS) inspection reports, which are available for each food establishment, at the Thurston County Environmental Health Office and their website. For questions concerning these reports, contact the health office at 360-867-2667. Report restaurant, grocery store, deli or bakery complaints online via the complaint form here: https://www.thurstoncountywa.gov/phss/Pages/eh-problem.aspx . Reading inspection scores: Red violations are those most likely to cause food-borne illness and must be corrected immediately if feasible or according to a compliance schedule established by the health officer. Example: not keeping food at the right temperature. Blue violations relate to the overall cleanliness and condition of operation and must be corrected according to a compliance schedule established by the health officer. Example: a worn floor that needs replacing. If red points exceed 45, the county will require a reinspection within 10 business days. A reinspection also is required if total red and blue points exceed 65. If red points exceed 100 and there’s a lack of managerial control, the county may shut down the establishment. The establishment may reopen after the person-in-charge develops a written course of action to correct all violations and demonstrates corrective action

Pierogi By The Dozen Fill The Freezers At These 6 Washington Eastern European Delis

Cream cheese pierogi in a tiny Central Washington lake town. That one detail sent me down a very delicious rabbit hole. It turns out Washington has a whole network of Eastern European delis hiding in plain sight. Some sit on busy city streets. Others share a main drag with small-town...

This Little Washington Diner Serves Homemade Pie With Cascade Mountain Peaks Filling Every Window

Pie is the word that keeps popping up about this little roadside diner. Not just pie, though. Mountain peaks fill the windows while you decide between cherry and something else. It sits right on the highway that carries Washington drivers over the Cascades toward Bavarian-style streets and ski slopes. That...

7 dishes from the year of Seattle's 1962 World's Fair, from alder-smoked salmon to glazed char siu

The Century 21 Exposition opened April 21, 1962, on a 74-acre site in Seattle, and the Space Needle had gone up from groundbreaking to finished tower in about a year so it would be ready for opening day. Nearly ten million visitors came through before the gates closed on October 21. The food that got the most attention was the Belgian waffle, which Walter Cleyman served with strawberries and whipped cream at two stands, selling more than half a million of them over six months.

Smash burger restaurant opens in Thurston Co. New apartments planned in Tumwater

PNW Smash Burger , the father and son dream of Alexander and Xander Mararac, is now reality as the grand opening of the business is set for Saturday, Nov. 14. “After a long wait, we are officially opening our doors!” they said in an email. Both have food experience. Alex grew up working in his parents’ Filipino restaurant in South Tacoma, he said, and Xander, his son, studied culinary arts at the New Market Skills Center in Tumwater and was set to do the same at South Puget Sound Community College until the program closed, The Olympian previously reported. Let’s get to the important stuff: What’s a smash burger? It’s a balled up beef patty that is then flattened on a hot surface, stainless steel or cast iron, giving the burger a seared and crispy edge while maintaining its juiciness, the Mararacs told The Olympian. What’s on the menu? For one, the Alpine smash burger: Using 100% ground chuck, they then add grilled onions, melted Swiss cheese and top it with truffle garlic aioli sauce and serve it on a buttered toasted potato bun. Where can you get one? 730 Sleater Kinney Road SE, Suite D. They intend to operate

BIZNOTE: Another closure this weekend – West Seattle Junction restaurant Taste & Best, after 3 1/2 months

Yet another local business closure looming this weekend – along with West Seattle Coin Laundry and The Wash Dog, add to the list Taste & Best, the Indian restaurant at 4752 California SW that never even put up a permanent sign (the photo above is from tonight). After a reader tip, we stopped in on the way to tonight’s West Seattle Art Walk and a staff member told us they’re closing Sunday (November 15), also mentioning that the restaurant is for sale (this blind listing appears to match). The restaurant opened in late July, less than a month after Great American Diner and Bar closed in that space. (Great American’s owner said at the time he was looking for another West Seattle location; when we checked back with him recently, he said he was “still looking.”) Before Great American, the corner space had been through a parade of establishments, including another with a short stay (Shelby’s, less than six months). Taste & Best’s owners opened a location in Shoreline almost simultaneous with West Seattle; no word yet on its fate.

‘This could be the start of something’: Gee and Ursula question whether proposed McDonald’s will help Seattle’s Chinatown

A McDonald’s could be coming to a struggling corner of Seattle’s Chinatown-International District (CID).

Nobody Wants a McDonald’s in Chinatown

McDonald’s wants to put a new store in Seattle’s Chinatown-International District (CID). Almost nobody thinks that’s a good idea. They are decidedly not loving it. Last night, about 80 CID residents and supporters packed the meeting of the International Special Review District (ISRD), the neighborhood’s historic preservation board. Impassioned public comments, handmade protest signs in Chinese and English, and several people in Ronald McDonald-esque clown masks injected the typically sleepy meeting with life.
