More often these days while snooping up and down my street, I see that distinctive light-green Amazon Fresh truck parked in front of someone's house delivering groceries. Which sets off speculation about what I'm missing out on. I happen to be one of those oddballs who goes to the grocery store every day, on foot (okay, sometimes more than once). I only buy the ingredients for the next meal or from a small list of essentials that need restocking. Does this…

Pizza Today, the top trade zine in the pizza world, has named Seattle's Tutta Bella Neapolitan Pizzeria the "2010 Independent of the Year." Tutta Bella has made quite a name for themselves. In 2004, they were the first Pacific NW restaurant to earn Associazione Verace Pizza Napolitana certification, which means their pizza is the real deal -- authentic Neapolitan. Last year they were awarded with one of five "hot concepts" awards by Nation's Restaurant News. In March, they were deemed the…
Just a stone's throw over in Fremont, there's this bit of inanity going on: The Lonely Kazoo: A Synthetic Journey to Heaven” is an operatic coming-of-age story about a young kazoo searching for a new home as a post-consumer product. The show, written and performed by Seattle artists, features a rock band, dancing, costumes made of trash and, of course, kazoos. The show starts at 7 p.m. August 19 at the Fremont Abbey (4272 Fremont Ave N). After a raucous party…
