Blizzard of food notes.
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 Leson lights 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 Denn visits Cucina DeRa, comes away impressed only by its "cost-to-lackluster ratio."
Meanwhile, at Seattle Weekly, Seattle newcomer Jonathan Kauffman goes goat-hunting, actually finds a few authentic Mexican taquerias. Hey! There's goats all over Belltown, too Jonathan!
And at The Stranger, Angela Garbes delves deep into organ meats. Tongue, brains, guts. Yup, all edible, all delicious.
