The Best Things Infatuation Seattle Writers Ate In May

1 week ago | theinfatuation.com | Aimee Rizzo |Kayla Sager-Riley |Gabe Guarente

Count your days, key lime. Sudachi is here for all of the accolades. The Japanese citrus in question does wonders to grace this pastry case winner. Jiggly-zingy custard is grounded by a salt-laced graham cracker crust, and on top, it’s abundantly clear: Reddi-wip walked so that this whipped crème fraîche could run. A candied shiso leaf takes the pie to an herbal place—and our hearts.
Pioneer Grill serves the best Seattle dog around T-Mobile Park - Review - Seattle - The Infatuation

2 weeks ago | theinfatuation.com | Gabe Guarente

Of all the stands selling hot dogs outside T-Mobile Park before games and events, Pioneer Grill sets the standard. Their $7 take on the iconic Seattle dog is stellar, with a prominent char from the grill that doesn’t sacrifice any juiciness. The meat is piled high with translucent onions along with a generous schmear of cream cheese. For an extra dollar, you can get one topped with stewy bits of bacon and green peppers that’s messy in all the right ways.
The Cove - Review - South Lake Union - Seattle - The Infatuation

Not much is known about this spot planned for Chandler's Cove except that it'll be an all-day wine bar, serve small bites, and have views of the water. That's good enough for us. Even better? If you're boating on Lake Union, you can sail right up to The Cove's own dock. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists.

In the works for over a year, Temple Pastries is finally ready to open its roman-style pizza offshoot inside its Central District bakery, open for dinner. There will be four pies to start, including one topped with vodka sauce and another with pistachio mint pesto. Look for wine and cocktails, along with some desserts, too.

The Spots Of The Summer, Seattle Edition

2 weeks ago | theinfatuation.com | Gabe Guarente |Kayla Sager-Riley |Aimee Rizzo

Alki comes alive in the summer, and Sunfish is committed to the bit. Once the temperature consistently creeps above 65 degrees, people pack in here for excellent fried oysters, flaky cod and fries, and lemony calamari. You can enjoy it all just steps from Seattle’s version of a beach (mostly rocks, grass, and a miniature Statue of Liberty). Outsider BBQ is one of the newest (and best) reasons to head to Fremont when the idea of manning your own grill sounds like torture.

2 weeks ago | theinfatuation.com | Gabe Guarente

Speaking of Queen Anne, the neighborhood's getting a second outpost of this popular pizzeria. Their fabulous pies and pastas draw long lines on Capitol Hill, and they’ll now have a location that’s three times bigger. That’ll give them enough space for a full bar, more entrees, and added brunch service. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists.

This chain specializing in breakfast sandwiches has expanded overseas since starting as an LA food truck. Now there's an outpost planned for Melrose Market in Capitol Hill. And though the fervor over Eggslut’s melty BEC may have died down—hey, better late than never. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists.

Several Seattle restaurant and nightlife veterans are joining forces to open a new bar focused on women’s sports. The concept follows in the footsteps of places like Rough & Tumble in Ballard that celebrates local teams like the Storm and Reign, and shows competitions around the world. Look for a robust menu of Mexican food, too. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists. Gabe is originally an East Coaster, but now accepts cream cheese on hot dogs.
