Northwest Roundup?

Maybe it's Adam Arkin you're referring to? (See link)

"The northern lights bring other strange visitors to Cicely. Chris, the DJ, meets the brother he never knew, a black man on a Harley. Dr. Fleischman meets the mysterious Adam, a bigfoot like man who happens to be a master chef and disappears as suddenly as he appeared."

The actor is Adam Arkin (son of another one of my favorite actors, Alan Arkin).

And here is his contact info... smileys/smile.gif

Oh my gosh yes, could not remember his name, his goofy hypochondriac wife was excellent too! thanks

 
Things to do in the Puget Sound area.

Let's see...

* Pike Place Market (of course)
* Mario Batali's dad's place, Armandino's Salumi
* Sur La Table in the Market (since it's the original)
* The Herbfarm (pricey, but wonderful)
* Space Needle? (pricey, was pretty good last time I was there, but not fantabulous)
* Big John's PFI - http://www.bigjohnspfiseattle.com/
* Roslyn

Other suggestions?

 
oh oh oh---wouldn't it be grand to go to one of theose "secret" dinners. Seattle underground tour.

that large Oriental market U

something. I can see that 3 days won't be nearly enough.

 
Uwajimaya. By "secret" dinners do you mean one of the Gypsy dinners?

Both Traca and I can set one of those up. smileys/smile.gif They're using a different name these days, I believe - I haven't been able to attend one in a long while.

However, if we have Chef Gabe come and do a dinner for us at the house, that would probably be easier than trying to secure enough spaces for all of us at Gypsy.

 
Please stop fighting. You're all invited for a cocktail on MY deck. I'll invent a new drink called

Dibs Schmibs.

 
Julie...this is a good list for starters...a few more thoughts...

The Space Needle is not worth eating at. They have the location and have never bothered to serve memorable food. I believe reservations are now required.

And the Herbfarm has a new chef. Jerry Traunfeld is the chef that put that place on the map and he now has his own place...Poppy. Prix fixe menu at Poppy is a much more affordable $35.


I would also recommend:

- Touring Theo's Chocolate Factory (first organic fair trade chocolate factory in the US. I know the COO and chief scientist there so we can grab a tour from Andy.)

- Chocolopolis: Premium chocolate retailer on Queen Anne who does tastings of 5 different premium chocolates side by side for $5. We can also book a private tasting with the owner, Lauren, who sources the chocolate.

- Seattle Caviar: They have tastings of 5 different caviars with champaign for $20.

- Chinatown: Very walkable, super fun. Friends and I have been doing what we call a "grub crawl." 10 of us go to a restaurant, get 5-7 dishes, share them and then move on to another restaurant. We usually manage to get 3 stops in before crying mercy! Lots of good shopping in this area as well.

- ZigZag: A bar on the national radar for their cocktails. Their mixologist, Murray, is the stuff of legends....

- Farmer's Markets, for sure! (Travel & Leisure just named our farmer's markets the best in the country.)

- If anyone is into beer & wine, we could also arrange for tastings on that note as well.

- Bakery Nouveau is also worth a stop. My friend William runs that place and he was the captain of the world champion baking team in 2005 (CHAMPION DU MONDE de la BOULANGERIE). Let's just say...his pastries don't suck. smileys/smile.gif

- Stumptown Coffee is arguably the best coffee in the United States. They source single orgin coffees directly from the growers and roast it themselves. (Duane, the owner is so particular about his coffee, he won't mail it. So he has a full roasting operation is Portland, OR and built another one here in Seattle.) Coffee cuppings are free, Tuesday - Sunday at 3:00.

- World Spice Merchants is a small locally owned spice shop that sources their spices direct from origin. Without the middleman, their spices are very affordable and frankly, don't get much fresher. They also have a nice selection of teas.

- Speaking of teas, if anyone is interested in tea, I have several friends who are over the top on this subject and would love nothing more than to do a tasting with us. (We could even have them meet us at the cabin...)

 
Poppy sounds good! smileys/smile.gif Surprisingly, I've never had a bad meal at the Space Needle. Not...

...absolutely outstanding, but still enjoyable. And the view! But I know others have had other experiences. Last time I was there was just last year. I do believe reservations are required. I suggest it for those out of towners who might want to do it, just because. smileys/smile.gif

 
Dibs Schmibs Cocktail - excellent! (But we're still drawing straws or something for the deck.) smileys/wink.gif

 
So, are we all going to book mark this thread and then use pm's

do we have a group leader? Traca sound good to me. Do you have the time sweetie?
more thoughts?????
Nan

 
I just got to WF wow it was nice I still like Central Market a bit more

living on the inland I don't go that way much. I took my family to the underground it was boring. Next stop wil be Uwajimaya. Miss the store"s in Japan
