The Crackly Fried Chicken Oprah Had Flown Across The Country Comes From A Tiny Washington Takeout Counter

Oprah Winfrey once had fried chicken from a modest Washington takeout counter flown across the country. Yes, the same Oprah. The chicken traveled farther than most of us do on vacation. The skin is the real headliner here. It comes out crackly enough to make noise when you bite in.

Washington Has 6 Butcher Shops Where the Meat Beats the Grocery Store and Costs Less

One butcher shop on this list never locks its doors. It runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week, so a midnight steak craving actually has somewhere to go. That detail hooked me fast. Then I learned another shop sells exotic game next to its jerky, and a third keeps homemade salsa beside the premium cuts.

Wondering Where Washington Still Serves Real Pastrami? Check These 9 Delis

Real pastrami takes days to make. The brisket gets brined, rubbed with pepper and spice, smoked, and then steamed until it turns tender. That slow process is exactly why great pastrami feels rare. Plenty of sandwiches use it, but far fewer kitchens still treat it like a craft. In Washington,...

New wood-fired pizza restaurant opening this weekend in East Pierce County

Bonney Lake’s newest family-friendly restaurant will open Saturday, Nov. 7, with a ribbon-cutting at 11 a.m. and a raffle to win free pizza for a year. Cascadia Pizza Co ., which started in Enumclaw as a single food truck in 2015, has partnered with a young but ambitious employee, 22-year-old Jacob Andrew, on the new franchise in the Route 410 plaza just east of the roundabout at 224th Avenue East. The company operates four other restaurants in the region and in recent years expanded to franchising in other states including Idaho, Oregon and Arizona with another in Texas en route. The Bonney Lake location will be its first franchise in Washington state, TNT Diner previously reported, and the first in Pierce County but likely not the last. “I started working at Cascadia when I was 16, and I never imagined that six years later I’d be opening my own location,” he said in a press release this week. “I’ve grown up with this company in so many ways. To have the opportunity to take everything I’ve learned and build something of my own is pretty incredible.” The brand is known for wood-fired pies (10-inch personal, $12-$17, or 14-inch large, $21-$29.50)

This Washington Restaurant Has Fed The Same Hometown Families For Generations And Still Packs The House

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.
