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.

News We Love to Hear

Radiator Whiskey heats up: Pike Place Market cocktail bar Radiator Whiskey will be expanding to the space formerly occupied by the Ballard Cut (which relocated just a few blocks up the street last year). Radiator’s new location makes for a bit of a reunion, as neighboring Gracia is owned and led by Chester Gerl—the chef behind Radiator owner Dan Bugge’s 2007 purchase and reimagining of Matt’s in the Market.

Bugge hopes to open in April or May, with the new location's style matching the old; a big barrel hanging behind the bar and taxidermy on the walls. The menu will evolve, keeping classics like brisket and loaded tots, but gain a bit more seafood and vegetables. (The Market location’s menu will get a refresh as well.) Perhaps the most significant change is cultural, though: Radiator Whiskey Ballard will be all ages. “I have a 16-year-old that has never been able to eat at Radiator Whiskey,” says Bugge. “He is stoked!”

Make your meat appointments: One of the many restaurants that expanded to Bellevue from other cities and sprung endless lines last year, Daeho Kalbijjim and Beef Soup, has made it a little easier to get in for the famous braised short ribs: Last week, the restaurant started taking reservations.

So Many Openings!

Türkiye trot: Barbecue pop-up Outsider BBQ opened this week as a full-fledged restaurant with a beer garden (and kids play area) in the former Frelard Pizza Co. space. Owner Onur Gulbay made his way to Seattle from Istanbul via Austin and the menu reflects that journey, with Turkish flavors woven into the Texas-style barbecue and side dishes.

Greenwood, still going strong: Two new restaurants opened last week, continuing the neighborhood’s trend toward filling empty storefronts. Ray’s Rice and Noodle Bar opened in the Satay Bar space on Greenwood, with a big menu of Thai specialties. On 85^th, Magic Masala took over the former Chef King spot, with an even larger menu of Indian cuisine, including chaat and 16 different types of biryani.

Drumming on: Shoreline’s Drumlin returns, revamped with a new chef and a new concept. Adjacent to more casual sibling Ridgecrest Public House, it reopens this week with cocktails and a small menu under the leadership of longtime local chef Zephyr Paquette (most recently chef/owner of Le Petit Paquet in Richmond Beach), with an expanded farm-to-fork menu coming soon.

Veg out: After a long lull, the old FogRose Atelier space in Bellevue is buzzing again, this time with upscale plant-based Vietnamese restaurant Chay Concept. While the Downtown Bellevue blog reports it comes from the same owners as Renton’s excellent Blossom, the menus overlap only minimally.

Expansion Alerts

A bigger room: Coffee and pastry in the mornings and bar serving the elegant drinks in the evening seems to be the trend these days (see Laurel, last week) and Madison Park’s Parlour Wines shows how it's done with a new Pioneer Square space. Mornings are for Pufftown Bakehouse pastries and Stamp Act Roasters coffee (and retail wine shopping), then afternoons and evenings feature Italian “apero fare” with cured meats, cheeses, salads, and sandwiches (on Pufftown’s focaccia bread).

Rolling in dough: Bellevue-born Dough Zone has expanded to a dozen locations across California, Oregon, and Texas, but it also looks closer to home, opening its 15^th location in Washington this week when it bestowed its soup dumplings on Lynnwood.

News We Don’t Love to Hear

Unfortunately, with so many openings come the inevitable closings, too. Here’s what we lost this week:

• Belltown happy hour favorite List shuttered this week, but it sounds like this was a lease nonrenewal issue and thus sibling spots Barolo, Cinque Terra, and Mamma Melina are still going strong.
• Fishermen’s Terminal favorite Highliner Public House said goodbye this week after 37 years.
• Another longtimer, the Queen Anne Cafe, shuttered at the end of January, and rumor has it the location will be taken over by Capitol Hill pizza and pasta specialist Cornelly. While they haven’t confirmed this, a recent Instagram post instructed followers to stay tuned for big news.

Oh, BTW, here’s what you missed last week.
