Casa Oaxaca Outside Alejandro Ruiz

Call me a food lover... not a foodie. Maybe you have a definition of foodie that's different than mine, but I think of myself as a person who loves to eat, cook, find amazing eating spots, browse interesting grocery stores and drive a hundred miles out of the way to visit a farmers market. I like talking about food and taking food photos... Up until now, I've never been motivated to put my thoughts to words. But then I heard the 2 words that inspired me to start writing.

Hi – I am Ben’s doc – he told me about your blog. We were whizzing down the highway to Seattle this past Friday and wondering about dinner. Off to your blog (easy to use!!) and found info on Staple and Fancy Mercantile. Got a reservation, had big trouble with parking, but had a fabulous dinner. Explored the area – it was hopping! Thanks so much for your work. I had mackerel and partner had pork shank. No pix. Collis
Hi Collis, thanks for the comment! Seattle is such a fun eating city and it’s great to hear you had a good time at Staple and Fancy. I’ve never had a bad time at an Ethan Stowell restaurant. All the best, Susy
