- Tan Vinh says wine is on the docket, and romance is on the mind during happy hour at Kirkland's bin on the lake (come on guys, this all lower case business is just lame). The burger-oriented menu includes mini burgers and scallop sliders, but the view of Lake Washington and the Olympics is the big draw here. [Seattle Times]
- Reporter Susan Kelleher is on Dining Deals duty, waxing nostalgic about the New York Italian food of her youth at Hey Paison! in Burien. To my eyes the entree names look a little cheesy, but just one bite of a "volcanic mess of a hoagie" and Kelleher's confident this place lives up to her youthful memories. [Seattle Times]
- He waits five paragraphs to do it, but Sheehan makes a provoking point in his review of Japonessa Sushi Cocina: we'll one day reach a point where food will be "unburdened by style or tradition." Though the joint totally fails at being a Japanese-Spanish hybrid, he does enjoy its mishmash of food. My favorite line is Sheehan's description of an octopus dish as "some failed midnight notion written down in José Andrés' dream journal and abandoned in the light of day." [Seattle Weekly]
- Nancy Leson pays a visit to two new outposts of the pie-trumps-cupcake revolution. [Seattle Times]
- OK, OK, we get it. Pie is trendy. Though as The Stranger points out in its roundup of favorite local pies, this beloved pastry was never gone in the first place. [The Stranger]
