Yes, what you see before you is in fact a cheeseburger. And yes, underneath that curtain of fried cheddar is a full 1/3 lb. of juicy meat. On a trip to San Francisco last weekend, Seattlest made a jaunt up to Napa solely to wrap our hands around one of these babies. Sure, we stopped in Sonoma for some wine too, but this burger was the road trip's raison d'etre. Eating a Squeezeburger was a......

Was this year's Seattle Cheese Festival a little smaller than usual? Or has our appetite for free cheese cubes grown exponentially over the last four years? Whatever the case, the 2008 Cheese Fest was in full effect. We went Sunday, assuming that the temps on Saturday made for a whole lot of gooey, melty cheese, not that there's anything wrong with that. Sure, there were plenty of people at the Market, but we know......

HUGE AMOUNTS OF CHEESE: The Cheese Festival is upon us! This is one of our top three favorite events of the year (#2: our birthday, #3: Christmas). Several reasons: a city block full of cheese, friendly vendors, wholesale prices on bottles in the wine garden (don't buy the red wine that says "bacon" three times in its description, we made that mistake last year), and (it bears repeating) a city block full of cheese. 10......

We’re looking forward to the wide range of choices (word is there will be 250 or more) from local and international artisan cheesemakers, with an eye out for the most stinky delights. Sponsored by DeLaurenti Specialty Food & Wine, the festival is about more......

For years, we’ve heard that the best New York-style pizza in Seattle is actually in Snohomish. Snohomish? Who goes to Snohomish? We did. With New York in our blood, and not quite satisfied with Seattle options, it was time to test the waters. (According to some, it’s the water that makes New York’s pizza the best.) #1 New York Pizza is an odd place. Our GPS couldn’t find it, but go straight on Route 9......

We're not sure what to make of these cheese figures, "sculpted" by one Sarah Kaufmann, except that they gives a bad name to cheddar. Via The Knife.......

This fall we are combining our love of the football and our dream of learning to cook. On Sunday morning, following a trip to a local farmer's market/major supermarket chain, we will be preparing a meal from the city of the Seahawks opponent. Then at halftime we will throw our badly burned hands in the air and make hot dogs. There may not be a better image in all of football then Packer fans standing......
