Here's the latest happenings on the neighborhood food scene: Free Slices on Saturday at Pagliacci Pizza on Stone Way The Pagliacci Pizza location on Stone Way at N. 40th St. (4003 Stone Way N.) has transformed from a tiny take-out spot to a sleek 'n snazzy dine-in restaurant, complete with a new pizza slice bar. To celebrate, they'll be handing out free slices (2 per person) on Saturday (September 14), from 11:00am to 4:00pm. Patty's Eggnest Now Open The popular breakfast…
Grab your wheelbarrow and your garden gloves this weekend, and head over to Meridian Park (4649 Sunnyside Avenue North). Seattle Tilth is holding its May Edible Plant Sale on Saturday and Sunday (May 4 and 5), from 9:00am to 3:00pm. (Psst: You might want to head over early for best selection.) From the good folks at Seattle Tilth: At our festive annual gardener gathering, you’ll find an amazing selection of tantalizing veggies to choose from -- over 50 varieties of organic tomatoes…
You could call it "Big Wheel Panini" since it's adjacent to Big Wheel Auto Parts (4455 Stone Way N.), or you could call it "Pat's Panini Sandwiches" after its owner, Pat. Either way, Pat won't mind since he hasn't officially named his new hot panini sandwich stand, which is now open Mondays through Saturdays, from 10:00am to 6:00pm. Pat offers five different types of hot panini sandwiches, all for $5 each, except for the Grilled Cheese, which is only $4. Prices include…
If you’ve got the itch to get your hands in the dirt, the Wallingford greenhouse, aka “A Growing Community,” could use your help! You might remember that last summer, we featured Wallingford resident Cyrus Appell, who has donated the use of his backyard greenhouse to the greater good for the past five years. Thanks to the time donated by dozens of volunteers, thousands of seedlings have been distributed to giving gardens throughout Seattle. At harvest time, the fruits (and veggies) of…
Fruit tree steward, neighborhood recycling guru, and overall swell neighbor, Barb Burrill, shared a recent adventure in the Wallingford urban orchard: A couple of weeks ago while walking home from my son's school, I noticed a bunch of lime-like fruits lying on the ground and sidewalk beneath a huge tree. Some had split open and looked like what might be black walnuts. I remember finding a funny-looking nut shell when I was a child and learning from my mom that it…
"Cooking for Compost?" Sounds like what happens when no one likes what I make for dinner. Maybe a better description is "No Waste Recipes." Whatever the name, they'll help you have a more sustainable Thanksgiving feast. Prepare holiday dishes from fresh ingredients, without single-use packaging, where food waste can be used in other food or composted. This should be easy as pie in Seattle, where nearly all food scraps can go in the food and yard waste bin (the main exception…
Doggy Style East Coast Hot Dog stand came and went, but from its ashes (4455 Stone Way N) a sandwich shop is growing. I noticed someone working inside the space on Monday and met Pat, local to the neighborhood, who hopes to have his sandwich shop--name TBD--open in four weeks. I, for one, adore walk-up/bike-up food establishments (no need to lock up the bike or unload the kiddos) and while I regrettably never made it to Doggy Style, I can't wait…
