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.

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.

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

‘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). KIRO host Gee Scott worried it could hurt nearby restaurants and speed up gentrification. “I’m not being disrespectful towards McDonald’s, but I can also understand, like, I don’t know about this,” Gee said on...

Skip cooking: 19 Seattle-area spots with Thanksgiving meals to go

Don't feel like cooking Thanksgiving dinner this year? Seattle restaurants are offering everything from turkey feasts to Indian dishes and Caribbean-inspired holiday meals to enjoy at home. Why it matters: Sometimes you'd rather socialize — or watch football — than spend Thanksgiving in the kitchen. What to expect: Many restaurants stop accepting preorders several days before Thanksgiving. Several options require some reheating or cooking at home. Prices are before taxes and fees. 13 Coins (Pioneer Square): $220 for four people or $400 for eight. Herb-roasted turkey, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, stuffing, cranberry sauce, gravy and a choice of pumpkin or apple pie. Order by Nov. 15 for pickup Nov. 25. Ada's Restaurant & Bar (Phinney Ridge): $65 per person. Turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce, gravy and seasonal vegetables. Orders can accommodate individuals or larger groups, with pickup Nov. 25. BluWater Bistro (Leschi): $220 for a turkey dinner or $320 for prime rib, each serving six. Both packages include salad, mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie and a bottle of pinot noir. Pickup is available Nov. 25 or Thanksgiving Day. Buca di Beppo (South Lake Union): $115 for two to three people or $195 for four to six.

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.

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.
