Openings

The Butcher’s Table
Kurt Dammeier’s culinary multiplex is opening this month in Denny Regrade. The butcher shop and deli softly opened this week with an array of takeaway cuts of exclusively Mishima Reserve Wagyu beef. Plus, various sauced-up sandwiches that are available to go. Up next The Butcher’s Table bar will open July 19, while the finer dining steak house downstairs opens on July 23.

Shift Change

Damn the Weather
Eli Dahlin, formerly of this Pioneer Square cocktail restaurant, has officially joined team Portland. That is, Dahlin will captain the kitchen at Portland’s forthcoming natural wine bar and restaurant, Dame. Please, work somewhere named “Dame the Weather” next. Thank you in advance.

Closed

Bar Sajor
In more Pioneer Square buzz, though this is of the deeply sad variety, Matt Dillon closes Bar Sajor. It saw the talents of Edouardo Jordan grace the wood-fired kitchen, and helped usher in a new era of dining in that neighborhood. It will be missed.

Meals

Full Tilt
The pinball-loving ice creamery will be scooping a new flavor from July 16 through 23, and it’s dedicated to novelty gag shop Archie McPhee. The Full Tilt flavor for this Seattle icon: dill pickle. No joke.

Ghostfish Brewery
The SoDo taproom of gluten-free brews has officially opened its onsite kitchen on July 14. It will churn out food equally free of gluten yet full of crowd pleasers such as tacos, pork sandwiches, and fish and chips.

In the Works

Starbucks
This coffee icon continues to pour shots sipped around the world, and soon it will do so in Italy. The motherland of espresso in which cappuccinos ordered past noon means getting so much barista side eyes. Yes, Starbucks will open up a cafe next year in Milan, and in a global economy commodity switcheroo—a legit enough economics term—Starbucks will bring Italian boutique bakery, Princi, to Seattle in 2017. Eater has the story.
