Ever since I first heard good things about the fried chicken sandwich at Gravy on Vashon Island, I made a point to go there on my next Vashon Island trip.

A few weeks ago, I made it there with my husband right at opening for lunch. Gravy is Black-owned and along with their staple chicken sandwich, they offer seasonal specials and different themed dinners on certain days.

We ordered:
- Fried Chicken Sandwich (about $22) - It came with two very large pieces of chicken, farm greens, and fries; definitely a bigger sandwich than I expected

- Fried Oyster Sandwich (about $22) - It also came with fries and farm greens

Our food tasted very fresh and was made to order. I preferred the oyster sandwich more than the chicken sandwich because the fried oysters had a different, slightly more seasoned breading. My husband loved the the chicken breading - just goes to show we all have different tastes for fried food hehe

We enjoyed our lunch and are glad we checked this restaurant out! We’ll have to try one of their themed dinners another evening.

📍Location: Gravy - 17629 Vashon Hwy SW, Vashon Island, WA - currently open Thursdays-Saturdays

💵 Price range; Expect to spend about $20-$25 per person

What happens when a Seattle Mariners ferry tray and a Maeve Chocolate ferry chocolate box meet? They head off on a maritime adventure!

I made this video for fun to practice my stop-motion animation skills and to do something creative. I hope this video makes you smile.

[media preview] There’s a new Sunday brunch in downtown Seattle, and you’ll need to make room because it’s six courses!

Provisions’s brunch menu includes six courses and drink pairings for $60, which is a great deal for the big portions of food included. New chefs Reid and Andrew are cooking up creative things.

🍳 Food courses:
- Eggs in a Bird’s Nest (the eggs are caviar; this was such a creative dish and beautifully presented!)
- French Toast - this had a great orange flavor
- Toast to Toasts - salmon and avocado toasts - yum!
- Bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich - cheesy goodness
- Fruit and cream - sweet with fresh, seasonal fruits
- Crab beignets - probably my favorite thing on Provisions’ whole menu
- 🦪 Raw oysters and 🥩 Wagyu steak and eggs with bone marrow are optional, individual add-ons for a separate cost

🍸 Drink pairings: Freezer martini, clarified bloody Maria, Brandy milk punch, chamomile bees knees, white chocolate and orange espresso martini, frosé. Non-alcoholic options are available.

The Provisions team invited media, creators, and some of their regular customers to try the menu before launch and give feedback. I loved that the preview wasn’t just for creators, and I hope more restaurants will provide unique experiences like this for paying customers!

Provisions is a laid-back cocktail bar in the evening, so if you’ve ever wanted to experience it in the daytime, check out their new Sunday brunch! Many thanks to the team for their hospitality.

📍Provisions Bar - 2137 2nd Ave, Seattle, WA (Belltown neighborhood)

💵 Price range: The brunch is $60 for six courses including drink pairings. Regular food and drinks range about $20-$30 per person.

[hosted] Have you ever seen so many noodles? Chef Travis makes these noodles fresh and they’ll go into dishes at Seattle’s Noodle Bar and Plenty of Clouds in South Lake Union and Capitol Hill. 🍜

After eating at the sister restaurant Plenty of Clouds during Seattle Restaurant Week, I was invited to try Noodle Bar, which has a similar menu of Sichuan-inspired noodles, dumplings, and fried rice dishes.

We had:
- Yibin burning noodles
- Garlicky cucumbers
- The combo - includes three pork dumplings and peanut noodles - perfect for a complete lunch at $19
- Drinks: Splendor in the Lemongrass and Ms. Fizzle

The food is hearty, has just the right amount of chili crisp, and makes a satisfying lunch or dinner. There’s also a kids’ menu available for dine-in customers.

It was really neat getting to see the noodles being made. Thank you to Chef Travis and the entire .sea team for their hospitality!

Have you eaten here before? Tell me in the comments and share this video with a friend you’d like to have noodles with!

📍Location: Noodle/Bar - 422 Yale Ave N. Suite A, Seattle, WA (South Lake Union / Cascade area)

💵 Price range: Expect to spend $20-$30 per person depending what you order. Several dishes are large enough to share family-style.

Note: My meal was comped for this visit to make the video, but I left a cash tip.

I dropped by this event yesterday for sandwiches and spritzes. The mortadella was so tasty that I bought some sliced from the deli to make sandwiches at home. We had a fun and relaxing time!

[media preview] The best lobster roll I’ve eaten in Seattle!

[media preview] Downtown Seattle got a little more green with Cinder + Salt, a new restaurant inside of the The Charter Hotel Seattle, Curio Collection by Hilton focused on seafood and fire-grilled foods from land and sea. Their lobster roll is the best one I’ve eaten in Seattle!

I was invited to the grand opening celebration and loved the green interior (my favorite furniture color), food, and drinks. Plus, they had a live mermaid serving oysters!

A few things you can order here:

- Maine lobster roll - it has tarragon buttermilk aioli and is delicious!
- Grilled Wagyu - another standout
- Wood-fired za’tar spiced heirloom carrots - they have a definite spicy kick
- Oysters Rockefeller - delicious!
- Burnt honey cheesecake with pears - I’m not a cheesecake fan, but really enjoyed this dessert
- Wood-fired chicken
- Drinks: Glass Garden, Smoke on the Sound, Bright Quarry (NA)

I’d seen Hannah Kay Swan’s reel about the interior design of Cinder + Salt beforehand, which was helpful to understand more about the restaurant’s look and feel. It really is a gorgeous space!

Cinder + Salt is a spot I’d recommend for a seafood dinner with out of town guests visiting Seattle or for an upscale date night. They also serve breakfast and coffee during the morning and lunch in the afternoon. I’m definitely returning for a lobster roll!

📍Cinder + Salt - 1610 2nd Ave, Seattle, WA inside of the Charter Hotel

💵 Price range: For dinner, expect to spend a minimum of $30 per person

Disclosure: This was a media event and grand opening party, so food and drink samples were comped.
