Dine Around Seattle 2015: You’ve Got Four More Days, Folks

Where I would spend them if I were a civilian

 

Dine Around Seattle doesn’t have to be my thing, since I eat out for a living.

But if I didn’t, three courses at dinner for $33 (or lunch for $18) would be a cool way to get a feel for places I hadn’t been and a bargain in places one typically can’t.

You have to lend slack: I don’t judge restaurants on these crowded weeks because no restaurant is at its best when packed to the corners and churning out just a few carefully scripted crowd-pleasers. Buyer beware.

All that in mind, if I were Dining Around Seattle, I’d spend the next four days (that is, tonight, then Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday)…

Getting a Feel for Spots I Haven’t Yet Been, Like….Chavez, Scotch and Vine (Des Moines), and Hecho

Revisiting Old Faves, Like…Marjorie, Stumbling Goat Bistro, and Restaurant Zoë

Doing Lunch at Places Like…Toulouse Petit, Chiso, and Monsoon

Enjoying Seattle’s Very Best for an Unheard-of Bargain at Places Like…Poppy and Crush
