Organic Indian

We have to admit we were a bit skeptical when we heard that Chutney's Bistro, the Indian restaurant in Wallingford Center, was serving organic food. What did that mean, exactly? Some organic ingredients? All organic ingredients? Which ingredients? So, we asked Harish Khurana, the owner. Turns out they have a separate menu available, which features 100% organic ingredients for a select set of items, including Matar Paneer, Vegetable Jalfrezi and Chicken Tikka Masala. It started almost by accident: his wife had…

Cantinetta says “Grazie!”

We can think of a few reasons why it would be pretty annoying to live right near Cantinetta. Most of them involve having to shop for new clothes, one size up. Also, we think our family probably wouldn't appreciate our lasagna quite as much if they knew they could go next door and order Pea Tortellini with Prosciutto Parm Brodo. But we would be assuaged, because once a year, Cantinetta thanks its neighbors by hosting a free open house, and that…

Joule Has A Gem!

During one of our weekly family strolls last Wednesday night, I noticed Joule had a handwritten sign taped to their window, which read that they'd be closed for the evening. "Hmmm," I wondered aloud, "why would Joule be closed tonight?  It's Bastille Day!" Alas for the Francophiles, but cheers for the tender-hearted, Joule's Facebook page reveals the answer: To those who love Joule and have been waiting for our new bundle of joy, Pike Jun Jack Chirchi came to this world…

Wallingford Wednesday – 90°

Lots going on in Wallingford this Wednesday, so make yourself comfortable: First off, the weather report says it's supposed to get up to 90° F. That's nine-zero frickin' degrees! In Seattle! So everything else that we list below is just going to be double-awesome. Wednesday, as it is all summer, is Wallingford Farmer's Market at Wallingford Center, 3 - 7 pm. We're not going to list what all is ripe and in season this week because everything is ripe and in…

Wallyhood Roll

Ah, sushi. Thank God the Japanese came up with a better name for it than "raw fish wrapped in seaweed", otherwise we probably would never would have tried it. We were humbled when we recently heard that Rain Sushi (or Rain Modern Infusion Cuisine, as it's formally known) on 45th had named a roll in our honor: the Wallyhood Roll. We've loved Rain's rolls for years now, always rich and decadent, so this past Wednesday, we smacked our lips and went…

Epazotes at Today’s Farmers Market

Good morning to you! It's Wednesday, and that means Farmers Market in Wallingford Center (1815 N 45th St.) from 3 - 7 pm. Between you, we and the wall, we've been a bit disappointed with the selection we've seen thus far this year, but we'll chalk it up to time of year: if you're selling what's in season, you can only sell what's in season, and it's early yet. From a quick glance at the market report, it seems like things…
