The Willows Lodge in Woodinville

So, dining deals are everywhere these days and not all of them are very exciting. But this one got my attention because luxury hotels are involved and luxury hotel deals are, let’s face it, kinda irresistible.
What happens is that you and one other person eat dinner at BOKA (Downtown), Barking Frog (Woodinville), and The Hunt Club (First Hill). You bring this passport thingy with you, show it to your server. He/she stamps it and gives you a free round of champagne with dinner. When you have a passport in your possession with all three spots stamped, you then receive a free night’s stay at The Hotel 1000, Willows Lodge, or the Sorrento.
Alternatively, you can earn the night’s stay but then give it away to be used for charity fundraising purposes. Because you’re generous like that.
All the info is here.

The cheapies happen on Sunday, November 14.

But you’ll have to hustle to get one: The deal only goes to the first 365 customers (how clever) at the Capitol Hill location on East Union Street.
Common sense would dictate a bacon-wrapped hot dog with baked beans, Tillamook cheddar, and onion straws just isn’t right to consume before noon, but the place opens at 11am, and people are rabid about their Po Dog, so consider it.

Morning Meal Deal
Baked brie in the morning? That could work.
Posted by: Jessica Voelker on Nov 01, 2010 at 08:07AM
A fruit bowl at the Row House Cafe.
Happy first of November, friends in food. I come bearing good news. Row House Cafe starts serving breakfast this morning, and, to entice you to try it, they’re charging half price all week.
The menu includes breakfast sandwiches (on bagels, English muffins, and croissants); vegetarian and meat frittatas; cheesy grits; and—what’s this?—baked brie with a choice of fresh berries, maple syrup and walnuts, honey and pinenuts, or fruit preserves.
For the virtuous among us, Row House is offering up oatmeal and fruit bowls. That said, it is my feeling that far too few weekday mornings begin with baked brie. Breakfast runs from 6:30 to 9:30 am.

Find out which restaurants are offering special deals to benefit Susan G. Komen’s breast cancer research.

Could October be any pinker?
October is pink month in Seattle—and not just because the sceney new dinner-club hotspot, PNK, opened last week on the fourth floor of Pacific Place. (Anyone have front-line reports yet? Bring ’em on…)
Breast Cancer Awareness Month has compelled a number of Seattle area businesses to donate some of its profits to Komen.
Dahlia Bakery is selling Pink Ribbon sugar cookies and pink frosted cupcakes during the month of October, with all proceeds benefiting Komen’s Paint it Pink campaign.
At Marination Mobile, buy a pink can of passion-orange-guava juce and proceeds will go to Komen.
And Salty’s Seafood Grills will donate a buck from every slice of white chocolate mousse cake—iced in pink for the occasion—sold all month.
For more of these deals, go to the Komen website.

Fried!
The Seattle fried-food legend invites you to celebrate with them.

This Wednesday, September 15, Spud Fish ‘n’ Chips at Alki kicks off a series of promotions celebrating its 75th anniversary.
Founded by brothers Jack and Frank Alger in 1935, the original Spud sold its battered fish and tartar sauce out of a converted garage. During WWII the joint nearly closed for want of cooking grease, until West Seattleites donated their ration tickets to keep the fryers going.
One family has admitted their matriarch loved Spud’s fish so much, they lovingly tucked one of its signature blue and white wrappers into her casket.
Now it’s grown to three independently owned shops in three beachy locations (Alki, Juanita Beach, and Green Lake)—along with two stands at the Puyallup Fair—peddling fried fish and tartar sauce still made with the same recipes.
Come to the Alki store this Wednesday, which the Mayor has proclaimed “Alki Spud Fish and Chips Day,” and get free prizes and $1.75 fish ‘n’ chips (with canned food donation to West Seattle Food Bank).
Then check www.facebook.com/AlkiSpud for news of ongoing deals and promotions.

What's for Lunch?
And knocks a few dollar signs off the cost.
Posted by: Christopher Werner on Jul 26, 2010 at 01:43PM
Bye bye boring lunch: One of Monsoon’s lunchtime offerings. Photo courtesy Geoffrey Smith.
Another midday meal deal from Monsoon: The restaurant is bringing its lunchtime delivery service to both sides of Lake Washington, and to bait Seattleites the boxed meals are discounted 25% through the rest of the month and 15% through September.
In March Monsoon debuted the noonhour meals on wheels, but only for Eastside addresses. Considering sister restaurant Baguette Box totes its gourmet banh mi around town, it only makes sense the 19th Avenue locale would follow suit. Like Baguette, Monsoon Seattle’s delivery route reaches Capitol and First Hills, downtown, and Fremont.
The lunch menu boasts 16 offerings—noodle dishes, rice bowls, rolls, soups, and salads—with all items costing $7-$14 and each order coming with banana cake. Have a look-see at the boxed meals and order form.
Yep, that sound you hear is my tummy grumbling.

Take pops to the Counter on Sunday and he eats without paying.
Posted by: Christopher Werner on Jun 17, 2010 at 08:33AM
If you aren’t planning on getting pops anything for Father’s Day, at least give him a break from grilling and take him to the Counter.
On Sunday the Ballard burger bar is handing out free beefwiches to any dad who mutters “I want the BFD”—“burger for dad.” As long as he’s with someone willing to shell out eight or nine bucks for their own, your old man gets a standard burger with cheese, one sauce, and up to four toppings. Additional dressings—all three bagillion or whatever crazy amount they offer—will cost you.
Note the Counter stocks a full bar, so you might want to treat dad to a beer or two to make up for all the ones you ganked in high school.

Dinner Specials
Good reasons abound for going out on Mondays.
Posted by: Jessica Voelker on Jun 07, 2010 at 02:53PM
Monday night is spaghetti night at Spring Hill, unless you opt for the family-style-for-four fried chicken special. To partake of the latter, you’ll need to reserve in advance. Way in advance.
Every Monday night at Dustin Ronspies’ Art of the Table you can partake of a well-priced small plates selection, plus $26 bottles of wine, $5 wines by the glass, and $3 beers. Learn more about it here.
And Monday means Wagyu steak night at Fresh Bistro in West Seattle. The dinners cost $15, $16, or $18, depending which cut you chose, and that price includes sides. Here’s the menu.
Then there is the ever-popular fried-chicken-for-four menu every Monday at Spring Hill. Two crispy-crusted birds, herbed dumplings with Beecher’s cheese, mashed potatoes, and jalapeno cornbread are all part of the $80 deal. Don’t expect to just show up and start crunching away, however: The weekly dinner is so popular you have to reserve way in advance.
A more impromptu option is the $10 Monday pasta special. You receive a heaping bowl of red or white spaghetti (there is a meatball sandwich option for the same price) accompanied by garlic bread. Here is Spring Hill’s Monday-night menu.

…and adds a weekday wine deal.
Posted by: Jessica Voelker on Jun 04, 2010 at 02:38PM
Seeing as I work in Downtown Seattle, I was a little jealous when I heard that people on the Eastside had the chance to order Monsoon East lunch to their offices, but this helps heal the wound a little. It isn’t going to deliver, but Monsoon Seattle is bringing back weekday lunch with a brand new menu starting June 21.
Sweetening the deal is a 30 percent discount on wine during lunch, which is especially great because Monsoon has a very nice little wine list. I very religiously order the Mercer sauv blanc or the Buty chard when I go there—these two wines tend to be crowd pleasers, and I just like the way they taste with Monsoon’s food.
Lunch is served Monday Through Friday, from 11am to 3pm.
PS: In case you didn’t see it, we recently adapted Monsoon’s imperial rolls for the home kitchen. Get that recipe here.

Industry Insider
To Louisa’s Cafe and Bakery for a heckuva deal.
Posted by: Kathryn Robinson on May 10, 2010 at 09:00AM
Certain places around town have long held appeal for restaurant industry folk. Tavolata. Palace Kitchen. Elemental @ Gasworks. The bar at Union.
Now an Eastlake bakery/cafe, Louisa’s, is making a direct play to join that list. Long a breakfast and takeout pastry joint—with really admirable housemade bagels—the sunny neighborhood cafe has under new ownership bolstered its dinner program, offering a menu of burgers, pastas, and globally influenced crowd pleasers.
Now Louisa’s has declared Mondays Industry Night, offering half-price bottles of wine and 10 percent off all menu items to restaurant workers.
Waiters…what are you waiting for?
