CAPITOL HILL
For one final weekend at the Broadway farmers market, Honest Biscuits will be selling “kick-ass” biscuits made from local products like Beecher’s cheese and Theo chocolate. CHS reports that the biscuit business from Arthur Stone has plans to move to West Seattle after the Broadway stint.
Tamara Murphy’s Terra Plata has added brunch service from 10 to 3 on Saturdays and Sundays. The brunch menu includes oysters Rock-a-Terra, a dish featuring a Pacific oyster topped with greens, chorizo, and cheese, baked and served with a Blood Mary shot. In addition to Bloody Marys, the Melrose Market eatery offers blood orange and ginger mimosas.
INTERBAY
The street food scene may have slowed a bit for the winter, but it hasn’t stopped. Interbay Eats has some big-name trucks on board for a new food truck pod, including Skillet, Snout & Co., and Buns on Wheels (the only formally committed one so far).
EVERYWHERE
Are your in-laws not professional chefs? We’ve got you covered this Christmas, with a rundown of restaurants serving dinners both Christmas Eve and Christmas. The lists feature some of Seattle Met favorites such as Crush, Tilth, and Copperleaf.
Bigfood, the rural-legend inspired food truck, has introduced Seattle’s first mobile oyster grill. Owners Matt Pontious and Tyler Rebman hope to fire it up once every couple weeks throughout the winter.
Adria Shimada’s ice cream truck Parfait, which introduced home delivery this year, is expanding that service. Delivery is now daily, including the upcoming holidays. Preorder online for Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. Ice cream delivery requires a minimum of two pints ($10 each with discounts for more than three). You can also order Shimada’s $10 jars of Sauce au Chocolat or Sauce au Caramel to top it off.

MEDIA DOINGS
Over at The Stranger, Slog has been busy with a bit of a charity face-off against New York–based gossip-regurgitator/time-waster site Gawker.
