Recommendations
MELROSE MARKET
1535 Melrose Avenue, Seattle, WA 98122
Capital Hill / First Hill
Shops
It's like a micro version of the Ferry Terminal Building. We have a butcher [Rain Shadow Meats], a wine shop [Still Liquor], there's a really great flower shop [Marigold and Mint] that also sells produce from their farm. Then we have a really great sweet shop in here. So I mean it's probably the best like foodie central place in the city for sure.
WONG TUNG SEAFOOD
Seafood Market
International District
Nobody knows about this place. It’s where we get a lot of our crab, spot prawns and other shellfish and they buy direct from fishermen that are out on the coast that they have relationships with. They're really inexpensive and nice people and they're just not known.

Downtown
Spice Shop

It’s a little walk-up window and they do Thai street food that's really great.
MANEKI

Japanese
It’s the oldest restaurant in Seattle, a Japanese restaurant. It happens to be my favorite place to eat. I really like the Black Cod Collar cooked in miso.

BOULETTE’S LARDER
Embarcadero Plaza
American / French
Amaryl Schwertner is a mentor and we have very similar philosophies about food. In my opinion, I haven't met a greater mind in the food world than her.
ALVEAR SHERRY VINEGAR
Spanish
Vinegar
Find | Ingredients
It's really great dry and sweet sherry vinegar. We use it in dressings. I use it kind of like you would squeeze lemon over something.
RAPIO BLACK RICE
Buy from Casa de Case
Italian
Rice / Nero Venere / Black Venus
It's a really beautiful Italian floral rice. We recently made ice cream with it. We get that from a guy named Howard Case who is in the Bay Area.
