Last week, Sexy Feast sized up 8 Oz. Burger Bar, one of the newest entries in Seattle’s burger boom. But the boom isn’t just about traditional burgers. Hajime Sato of Mashiko and sustainable sushi fame recently opened an incredibly popular and delicious new restaurant in Georgetown called Katsu Burger, serving “Japanese [...]

Seattle’s burger boom continues. With the opening of 8 Oz. Burger Bar in Capitol Hill, we now have a burger joint boasting about size as a differentiator. The namesake burger, “The 8 Oz.,” is pretty straightforward, featuring a half-pound blend of sirloin, tri-tip, short rib, and chuck, along with iceberg lettuce, pickles, [...]

The Rock Serves Up Pizza and (Self) Pleasure

January 20th, 2012 · 1 Comment

It’s been quite a pizza run. Two weeks ago, Sexy Feast took me to Queen Margherita in Magnolia for thin-crust, Neopolitan-style pizza. Last week, in celebration of National Pizza Week, I went to Kylie’s Chicago Pizza in Fremont for a little deep dish action.
This week, I visited the new Queen Anne location of [...]

Sexy Feast: Kylie’s Chicago Pizza Fills Your Mouth and Makes You Moan

January 13th, 2012 · No Comments

Last week, Sexy Feast took me to Queen Margherita in Magnolia for thin-crust, Neopolitan-style pizza. This week, in celebration of National Pizza Week, I wanted more pizza, but something a little different.
Luckily, last month I purchased a Seattle Weekly VOICE Daily Deal for Kylie’s Chicago Pizza. For $12, I had $24 to [...]

Sexy Feast: Queen Margherita Makes a Delightful Date

January 6th, 2012 · 1 Comment

Queen Margherita in Magnolia is the kind of neighborhood place where everybody knows your name.
It’s also a restaurant where workers take pride in their pizza-making. The Caputo flour, silk to the touch, is imported from Italy. Pies are carefully handcrafted, dispatched to the wood-burning oven, and then pulled after quick-cooking.
There are many [...]

Sexy Feast: Il Corvo’s Pasta Is Almost Bursting with Pleasure

December 30th, 2011 · No Comments

One of Seattle’s hottest new restaurants is hiding…in a gelato shop. And even if you know where Il Corvo is (inside Procopio, steps down from Western Avenue behind Pike Place Market, below Kasala furniture store), you’ll have to find a way to get there during the week, preferably close to 11am and certainly before the [...]

Sexy Feast: Maneki’s Uni Makes Us Get in Touch with Our Sex Organs

December 23rd, 2011 · No Comments

One year ago, I was at 107-year-old Maneki restaurant eating soba to debut the start of The Mein Man noodle column. Several months ago, I returned to watch as Andrew Zimmern shot a portion of his television program (due to air sometime next month) there. The “Bizarre Foods” he ate ranged from fermented [...]

Sexy Feast: Trellis, Flan, and a Stimulus for Sex Education

December 12th, 2011 · No Comments

Trellis probably tops my list of the most underrated restaurants in the Seattle area. It’s low-key, it’s in a hotel (the Heathman), and it’s in Kirkland. No wonder I’m always answering the “Trellis…never heard of it…where is it?” question.
This is a gem of a restaurant. Go on a Sunday or Monday, and [...]

Sexy Feast: At Pearl, the World Is Your Oyster of Sexual Pleasure

December 2nd, 2011 · No Comments

Pearl is what most any grungy or grunge-loving Seattleite would imagine an Eastside restaurant to be: a swanky, people-watching place that smacks of a nightclub. The bar scene can be boisterous, full of beautiful Bellevueites, but this happens to be a restaurant that puts out some pretty good food.
While there are [...]

Sexy Feast: Hunt Club Creates a Wedge of Conflict

November 26th, 2011 · No Comments

There’s been a lot of change lately at the The Hunt Club. Remember a couple of years back when the restaurant did an Iron Chef-like contest to pick its new head chef for the kitchen? The winner, Matthew Mina, stayed in the position for about five months before moving on to the Salish Lodge.
The current [...]
