More Tom Douglas News, David Chang in Seattle

Earlier this week Seattlest broke the news about Brave Horse Tavern, the second Tom Douglas restaurant to open in the Terry Avenue complex (along with Ting Momo dumpling house). Thanks to the power of the internet, it looks like we've discovered the name of the other main venue within Douglas's new complex: Cuoco -- a fine dining Italian restaurant focusing on handmade pastas. (Cuoco means "to cook" in Italian).

These new restaurants are slated to open in March.

Tonight Douglas hosts New York superstar David Chang at a sold out dinner at Dahlia Lounge. The five course meal is based upon signature dishes at Momofuku. In late April, Chang is set to release "Lucky Peach," an iPad application and quarterly print journal published by McSweeney's. Seattlest swoons over the ingenious compost cookies, pork belly buns and his blistered brussel sprouts.

The first topic, according to the chef's interview with the New York Times, is one to which we'll pay very close attention:

"We thought the ramen was the best thing to start with,” he said. “Within that soup there’s so many things. We wanted to see how far we could go down that rabbit hole"

Chang, you are one eccentric guy, but, we are thankful you go down that rabbit hole.
