While Seattle Restaurant Week gave me the opportunity to try an “upscale” eatery at a discounted price (see last week’s Sexy Feast write-up of The Coterie Room, which showed how a quenelle of anise hyssop ice cream taught a lesson about spooning), it also let me visit a restaurant that’s long been [...]

Sexy Feast: The Coterie Room Promotes Spooning in Exclusive Small Groups (of Two)
May 11th, 2012 · 1 Comment
During last month’s Seattle Restaurant Week, I wanted to try an “upscale” eatery offering a low-cost, $15 lunch. What better place than The Coterie Room? This relatively new restaurant from Spur chefs Brian McCracken and Dana Tough served a superb menu during SRW. I went for a very late lunch and [...]

Sexy Feast: Chen’s Village Serves Up a Scary Hookup
May 4th, 2012 · No Comments
It’s rare that I eat dinner alone in Seattle. But two weeks ago, my partner had gone to Tokyo ahead of me, and I had eaten everything perishable out of the refrigerator, leaving only condiments and beverages. It was my last night in town, I was by myself, and I was [...]

Sexy Feast: Kisaku Will Make You Want to Swallow
April 27th, 2012 · No Comments
I’m endlessly asked to recommend the best sushi restaurant in Seattle. Along with Sushi Kappo Tamura (featured in a previous Sexy Feast about head), I heartily recommend Kisaku in Tangletown. The fish is fabulous, there’s a neighborhood feeling, and the quality to price is probably the best in the Seattle area. [...]

Sexy Feast: Roxy’s Diner Serves Up “the Most Sensual of All the Salted Cured Meats”
April 20th, 2012 · No Comments
What I miss from New York: choices of subway lines, reliably aggressive driving, and attitude. Food-wise, I miss pizza, bagels, and bialys. And good delis. Oh, we have some amazing sandwich shops in Seattle, like Paseo and Salumi. But I’d gladly trade a few of our fabulous Vietnamese delis doing cheap [...]

Sexy Feast: Spatulas at Koral Stir Up a Sexual Frenzy
April 13th, 2012 · No Comments
Koral Bar & Kitchen in Bellevue calls itself a “New American Kitchen,” serving regional American cuisine–comfort food favorites and a few upscale dishes–in an atmosphere more casual than sister restaurant Pearl. After trying pan-fried trout, roasted beets with arugula, tuna crudo, Penn Cove mussels, roasted marrow bones, and Koral’s nod to [...]

Sexy Feast: Bush Garden Gives a Spiritual Lesson About Sex
April 6th, 2012 · No Comments
The International District’s Bush Garden, approaching its sixtieth birthday, has a storied past that includes celebrity visits and sukiyaki dinners. Unfortunately, the restaurant is in decline, bolstered by karaoke nights and liquor sales more than its cuisine–which is nothing to write home about. Still, settle into a tatami room with a [...]

Sexy Feast: La Rêve’s Croissants and the Ooh La La of Sexual Cravings
March 30th, 2012 · No Comments
As we finish the month of March, I’m finishing my series of sexy small treats, which has turned out to be quite international. Recall that Sexy Feast sampled dill scones from Macrina Bakery, sponge cake from Dim Sum King, and sakura mochi from Umai Do. Now I turn to a [...]

Sexy Feast: Dim Sum King Says You’re Sponge-worthy
March 16th, 2012 · No Comments
It’s no secret that I’m not a fan of the Seattle dim sum scene. Quality here pales in comparison to what you’ll find north of the border in Richmond. Going out for dim sum here seems like throwing away good money.
So when I saw the low prices at the International District’s Dim [...]

March 9th, 2012 · 1 Comment
Sexy Feast is going small treats and big feats for the rest of the month. Watch for a series of little sweets and even some savories, starting today with a visit to Macrina Bakery in Queen Anne.
I love bakeries, as the shelves and showcases serve as the menu. Macrina bakes some fabulous [...]
