Kamonegi (Seattle, WA)

When I went to Seattle last year, the number one place I was determined to eat at was, far and away, Kamonegi. I love ramen, and I had heard so many great things about the new restaurant, seeing it in both Eater and Food and Wine magazine, where the chef, Mutsuko Soma, was one of the Best New Chefs...

Bang Bang Cafe (Seattle, WA)

During my trip to Seattle in 2019, I stayed in a very touristy area. This delighted me, since everything was in walking distance and there was plenty to see and discover.

Meeting an Iron Chef: Adana, Seattle

During my trip to Seattle in June, my boyfriend at the time and I enjoyed a ton of great food (I mean, that's part of the joy of traveling. Like, a huge part). Seattle was spectacularly unplanned for me as far as itinerary, and that lack of organization trailed me up to and including the last day. As...

HTCEB: Oatmeal

I'm not crazy about oatmeal, never have been. But, I'm systematic, and would I genuinely be cooking through a cookbook if I didn't try things I knew I wasn't crazy about? Maybe Mark Bittman's version would be better than the other 4 or 5 times I've tried the recipe, I thought. And it was better this...
