Wright Eats

Tonight was our second visit to Joule.  We also went during their first week open four months ago.  The meal started off nicely each time – complimentary steamed or crispy buns were served with our drinks.  We’ve tried several of their sakes, and the sparkling sake is our favorite.  We like to share a number of [...]

Hey everyone.  I just redirected WrightEats.com to our blog in case it’s easier to remember.  Then again, I’m sure you’re already subscribed to our RSS feed, so you don’t need no stinkin’ shortcut, right?

Do you remember the restaurant Fork?  I really liked this place during the short time it was open 2006, and was sad to learn of its closing only a half year later.  Chef Scott Simpson was dealing with health concerns at the time and had to sell the restaurant. So I was happy to hear last year [...]

When I got home tonight, I saw that we received one of those neighborhood coupon packets in the mail.  There’s usually a coupon for one of the nearby coffee shops, so I rifled through it and instead found a new coupon for Jack’s Tapas Cafe.  This one says “$3 off any delivery of $20 or [...]

Has anyone tried the new Ocho tapas restaurant in Ballard?  I’ve been wanting to go since I heard that one of the owners is the bartender from La Carta de Oaxaca, which is my absolute favorite Mexican restaurant around with the best margaritas anywhere.  But perhaps not the only place with that margarita anymore.  Ocho apparently [...]

It’s nearly that time again.  The month of March is Dine Around Seattle (formerly 25 for $25), where 30 restaurants offer three-course $30 dinners Sunday through Thursday nights.  In past offerings, we’ve found Nell’s to have excellent choices, almost a steal for the $30, so we’ll definitely have to try theirs again.  Campagne and Nishino have [...]

On Tuesday, March 4, you can put your dining dollars toward a good cause.  Seattle restaurants are teaming up for “Dine for Darfur,” where 25% of your food and drink purchases are donated toward Darfur relief efforts. Participating restaurants are listed on www.dinefordarfur.org You can try the new Tutta Bella in South Lake Union or [...]

The gourmet roving Airstream trailer that is Skillet Street Food may be coming soon to your Seattle or Eastside neighborhood. We subscribed to their email newsletter months ago, but hadn’t tried their food because they’ve only been open on weekdays while we were trapped at work.  When we saw that they were going to be [...]

So, Eric and I were having brunch with Sam and his wife a few weeks ago at Smith, and they wanted to know how do we know so much about what’s happening around Seattle with food and restaurants?  And how come we don’t have a way to send this info out to our friends around Seattle?  [...]
