Canlis Finds a New Chef Right in Its Own Kitchen

2 days ago | seattlemet.com | Naomi Tomky

On Monday night, the grand mid-century modern building perched over the Ship Canal lit up on its day off as the restaurant bid farewell to third-generation owner Brian Canlis. On Wednesday morning, the 75-year-old restaurant lit up the food world with news of its new executive chef, a choice most surprising in its predictability. Today Mark Canlis—now alone at the helm—announced that Canlis promoted executive sous chef James Huffman into the top spot in the kitchen.
Seattle’s Best Salads Are Looking Crisp

2 days ago | seattlemet.com | Naomi Tomky

Spare us the sad desk salads with limp lettuce and the bland supermarket tomatoes; bring on the superstars with bold dressings, snappy vegetables, and creative toppings. The best salads are side dishes with main character energy, starters that set the tone for the entire meal, or those rarest of specimens: the completely satisfying entrées unto themselves.
Hellenika’s Cultured Gelato Is Frozen Yogurt for Adults

1 week ago | seattlemet.com | Naomi Tomky

Last year I skipped the cake and celebrated my birthday by sticking candles into my current culinary obsession: Hellenika’s cultured gelato. For those of us who grew up in the margarine era, with milk skimmed to within an inch of its life and nonfat everything, frozen yogurt is a dirty word. For the generation that followed, frozen yogurt referred to the blank canvas at chain shops on which to paint with chocolate chips and Cap’n Crunch. Hellenika is what frozen yogurt should have been.
Things to Do in Washington State in June

June marches toward a well-earned PNW summer, and Washington's activities trend outdoors. We celebrate the season with big outdoor bashes, festivals to celebrate simple pleasures of beer and music, and statewide Pride fests. Various | Throughout JuneSeattle will do its big LGBTQ+ celebrations as usual, but it's not the only Washington pride out there.
The Basement Herb Farm Growing Tastes of Home

1 week ago | seattlemet.com | Naomi Tomky

Moments after I ate one of the buzz buttons—a citrusy daisy relative—Ryan Delaney handed me in his basement farm underneath a Chinatown–International District office building, I asked him to just keep talking until I felt like I would stop drooling. In more than a decade of interviewing people about food, that was a first. On the upside, the numbing effect rid my mouth of the lingering taste of something called fish mint, which tasted nothing of mint.
Property Watch: Authentic Modern Home from the Canlis Architect

1 week ago | seattlemet.com | Zoe Sayler

Compared to Seattle’s other famous buildings, Canlis looks more like a midcentury modern house than a business. But that’s exactly what made it revolutionary: Rather than replicate the “ornate hotel dining rooms” typical of the era, Canlis’s founder hired Roland Terry, a rising star in residential architecture at the time, to design his fine dining establishment.

Hungry for news? Welcome to our Friday Feed, where we run through all the local food and restaurant news this week—and maybe help you figure out where to eat this weekend. In 2009, Century Ballroom opened the Tin Table restaurant to support the Capitol Hill dance studio, but Century closed in March, just after its 28th anniversary (it since reopened as Reverie Ballroom).

New Nonstop Flights from Seattle

2 weeks ago | seattlemet.com | Allison Williams

Every year, Seattle–Tacoma International Airport becomes a bigger global hub, its spokes reaching across borders in every direction. New links form to Asia and Europe, putting us one annoying TSA security line away from bigger and better escapes. While Sea-Tac (otherwise known as SEA) struggles with ever-increasing passenger loads and has proposed building a whole new terminal by the 2030s, we’re increasingly taking off elsewhere, on runways and waterways from Mukilteo to Tacoma.
Canada’s Great Swimming Pools and Waterslides

2 weeks ago | seattlemet.com | Allison Williams

“Is there a pool?” It’s a question both eternal and essential. The answer I got on one vacation, from the friend who’d picked the cheap hotel in the remote Canadian town of Revelstoke, caught me off guard: “No, something better,” he said. “The hotel gives you free passes to the town pool.” Visions of municipal-grade concrete and dingy locker rooms came to mind. Beginner lessons and lap swimmers all crammed together, shrieks echoing off the walls—hardly a vacation vibe.
Outsider BBQ Slowly Smokes Seattle’s Best Brisket

2 weeks ago | seattlemet.com | Naomi Tomky

Onur Gulbay applied for jobs at more than 20 barbecue shops in Austin when he left his job as sales manager at a tech company. Eventually, he conceded that nobody wanted to pay a 40-year-old man with no professional knife skills to take up space in their kitchen. He took a job as a cashier at a gas station barbecue counter to get into the industry, working his way into the kitchen and toward the smoker.
