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. It’s very possible that the Arizona style enchilada was made up by a marketing firm......

On Sunday night, Seattlest and a bunch of other Seattleites showed up at Chop Suey for the "Jive Turkey Extreme" Cancer Rising cd release party. The Valley (a Seattle rock band) opened, but we missed their set due to an emergency Piecora's artichoke-heart and sun-dried tomato pizza slice run. Ah, well. No matter. We were still among the first hundred people to buy our ticket and therefore obtain a free copy of Cancer Rising's hot-off-the-presses......

In December we wrote about local restaurant review site Urbanspoon. We loved it then, we love it now, and we've been loving it in the interim. Since we last chatted with Ethan Lowry, one of the three brains behind the site, Urbanspoon has really fleshed things out and branched out to a bunch of other cities. Are you a food guy or a tech guy? What's your background? I've been eating since I was born,......

We’ve been on a mountain bike clinic road trip smörgåsbord, starting in Bellingham a few weeks ago and then cruising through Hood River and ending up this past weekend near our hometown of Salt Lake City, Utah. This past weekend we coached a camp up in Park City, where it was a breezy 92 degrees for our afternoon rides—a temperature that is ridiculous in its own right yet still a respite from the record-setting spree......

Our glamorous older sister LAist did an interview with local tech CEO Mike Davidson last week that's mostly about how Newsvine is cool and getting cooler (and how you can get in on it), but the interviewer does manage to steer him over to the topic of the general tech scene here in Seattle. How's the new media scene out there? It's good, it's like a mini San Francisco . I don't feel like we're......

Call us crazy. Crazy about chicken—especially the organs. We frequently find ourselves at the north end of Pike Place Market, anxious for a stroll through the stands of fruits and vegetables. Oh, check out those perfect plums. The intriguing heirloom tomatoes. Berries, berries, and more berries. Everything looks so gorgeous, so delicious, so fresh… And then comes that smell, the one that overrides everything else in our hearts, minds and stomachs. The smell of FRIED.......

By now it’s no secret that Seattlest is all ga-ga over local showmasters, Awesome. We’ve recommended numerous times that you, John and Jane Q.P., experience for yourselves this strange and wonderful ensemble, and well, here we are once more. As if there wasn’t enough going on this weekend, Awesome will be playing two shows. First, Saturday July 1st at the High Dive, Awesome will kick things off for another broadcast of KEXP’s live local music......

Seattle likes to pretend we're a highbrow town -- see our recent bout of don't-touch-the-stripperism. But as anyone who's gone on the Underground Tour can attest, our smutty streak goes back a long way. Case in point: Seattle helped launch the career of Russ Meyer, auteur, gazonga fetishist, and key player in of Scarecrow's sexploitation section. How so? We were the first city the country to embrace his first feature, 1959's The Immoral Mr. Teas.......
