First, this programming note: tonight at 9 PM on Food Network, with three repeats over the weekend, Giada De Laurentiis visits Seattle's Kerry Sear of Cascadia (Cornichon's "Best Belltown Bar") for, among other things, Alpine Martinis. Recipe here.
Now...what a week for restaurant reviews. For once, four home runs.
Over at the Seattle Times,Nancy Lesonlights into Barolo. Spoiler alert: sensitive Seattle readers may be shocked to find words like "inedible" and "sludgelike" in a restaurant review. Decisive, incisive writing. Pietro Rabbit indeed!
Over at the Post-Intelligencer, Rebeka Dennvisits Cucina DeRa, comes away impressed only by its "cost-to-lackluster ratio."
Meanwhile, at Seattle Weekly, Seattle newcomer Jonathan Kauffmangoes goat-hunting, actually finds a few authentic Mexican taquerias. Hey! There's goats all over Belltown, too Jonathan!
And at The Stranger, Angela Garbesdelves deep into organ meats. Tongue, brains, guts. Yup, all edible, all delicious.
