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.
Steaked Out
Signs are up in the window in the Pioneer Square former location of Copal (and before that, Bar Sajor) announcing that it will soon be Gordo Steak. No info yet on when or what exactly to expect, just that it’s coming from the veteran steak-master behind Asadero Prime, David Orozco.
Bagel Boom by the Bay
The enthusiasm for University Village’s Hey Bagel has seemed unstoppable, but perhaps another well-liked bagel shop moving in nearby will shorten the lines. Backyard Bagel, which has a location in Fremont and sells at the Ballard Farmers Market, announced this week it will be taking over the recently closed General Porpoise location on Union Bay Place, just behind U Village.
She Sells Salads and Sandwiches on the Seashore
A new option for Alki eats opened up this week, with the folks behind Pegasus Pizza turning the former Locust Cider location into Seaside Grille, as reported by West Seattle Blog.

Recovering
- The family behind Colombian Delights Bakery had a house fire last week. While they all made it out safely, it not only destroyed their home, but much of the bakery equipment they use for their pop-ups and events. A GoFundMe has been set up to support them.
- Jesus Dumois and Heather Dowai, the couple behind Chamorikén—which I just wrote about a few weeks ago—were in a terrible car accident. Thankfully, again, all survived, though they suffered significant injuries, and the car that they used for their business was totaled. A GoFundMe has been set up to support them.
Recovered!
- Almost two months after a fire suddenly closed Beacon Hill restaurant Homer, it plans to reopen. Seattle Met’s 2019 restaurant of the year announced on Instagram this week that it would be back in business starting August 1, and with fig leaf ice cream, to boot.
Oh, BTW, here’s what you missed last week.
