• Posted Relish: Paseo Caribbean Food & Catering to Seattlest
  Seattlest grew up in the Fremont area and remembers the excitement Paseo caused when it first took up residence on Fremont Avenue. We lived close enough to Paseo that we could smell the food from our backyard. We loved the spicy and bold flavors of Caribbean cuisine and Paseo quickly became a Seattlest favorite. So how on earth could we have forgotten about it? How could three short years spent on Capitol Hill give us...
• Posted Relish: Seven Courses of Beef to Seattlest
  Seattlest reviewed Tamarind Tree not so long ago, but we just couldn't help a return visit for the oh-so-tempting "Seven Courses of Beef". We couldn't find much history on Seven Courses of Beef but we did discover that it's a popular Vietnamese meal that involves, well, beef, beef and more beef.

  This week Seattlest was craving Thai. Something simple and something nearby--but since we live only five blocks from where we work, it's hard to avoid eating dinner at the places we frequent for lunch.

So when we walked down to Ayutthaya for dinner,...
• Posted Relish: Black Bottle to Seattlest
  This week Seattlest was nosing around on eGullet looking for new restaurant ideas, when we came across a post about Black Bottle in Belltown. We were intrigued by the term "gastro-tavern" and were even more intrigued by the $7-$8 pricing on all plates. Black Bottle took over the old Two Dagos from Texas space on the corner of First and Vine. Even though we knew it had been remodeled, we were still shocked when we...
• Posted Relish: El Puerco Lloron to Seattlest
  It's been a while since Seattlest has visited El Puerco Lloron (a.k.a. The Crying Pig) in the market. El Puerco used to be our favorite Mexican restaurant and we'd visit often and sing its praises to anyone who cared to listen. But then Oaxaca de la Carta sauntered into town and without a second thought, we dumped El Puerco for the more glamorous and sexy La Carta. Where La Carta is young, modern, bright and...
