Savuthy "T" Dye thought about Eden, and realized that rabbits run around in gardens. His Rabbit Three Ways dish included rabbit crepinette, rabbit loin, and a crown rack of rabbit. Apple and quince cemented the Eden connection; and, yes, there was blood. As Gabriel sang, this plate provided a "moment of bliss." more ›

As we were saying just yesterday, there's a new cafe in town. Oddfellows Cafe. They opened in the teeth of weather in the teens last night, so we thought we owed it to them to trudge down Broadway and take a look at the new digs. It's much more spacious inside than we expected, more like Smith than cozy little Volunteer Park Cafe. The menu was limited, thanks to the effects of snowy, icy streets on deliveries. But the bar was pouring cocktails, and the beef stew had already won some hearts. (Sidebar: since we were promised a "great value" on food, can we discuss the $6 side of French fries? Seems de trop, even with a "special sauce." You know, what with the ongoing "longest recession of the post-war era" and all?) more ›

Nightlife maven Linda Derschang (left) partners with Ericka Burke for new all-day venture. more ›

Linda Derschang, of Linda's Tavern and King's Hardware fame, is joining forces with Ericka Burke of the Volunteer Park Cafe to bring you the newest "quintessential neighborhood hangout" on Capitol Hill...and according to this post on Craigslist, the duo is now hiring for a variety of positions for the cafe! The so-called Oddfellows Cafe and Bar, to be located at 10th and Pine and opening in early December, "will be serving Stumptown coffee, homemade baked goods, breakfast, lunch & dinner," as well as "beer, wine & cocktails." We'll reserve judgment about the food itself until we've had a chance to check it out, but we'd put money on this cafe as the next hip place to be employed. Thanks to Seattlest tipster Sarah! (And h/t to CHS, which we just saw posted about this earlier today.) more ›
