Elliott’s Oyster House Welcomes Spring, Just for the Halibut
Spring at Elliott’s Oyster House means one thing: the arrival of halibut fresh from the San Juan Islands. The fish are hook-and-line caught by native treaty tribes, who are permitted to harvest these fish sustainably. At Elliott’s, the halibut appears in two forms on Executive Chef Robert Spaulding’s dinner menu. Continue reading Elliott’s Oyster House Welcomes Spring, Just for the Halibut
Back to School with Gimlet Recipes at Hendrick’s Cocktail Academy
Do you drink Hendrick’s Gin? Such a question–as a sophisticated, worldly lady and/or gentleman, of course you do. It’s a most unusual, curiously different gin, after all. And what makes it so different? BOTANICALS, son. That, at least, was the take-away lesson from our visit to Hendrick’s Gin Cocktail Academy, held at Tavern Law.

New to Seattle: Camarena is Premium Tequila for the Masses
The first tequila to bear the family name, Camarena is made with 100 percent pure blue agave, sustainably farmed in the Los Altos Highlands, where the family has about three million agave plants growing. Right now, the tequila comes in silver and repasado varieties, with an anejo in the works. These are sweet, peppery, and earthy liquors, and though the quality is high, the price is nice: each bottle retails for $20.
