Trotter's Restaurant

A backlit sign inside Trotters Family Restaurant depicts glowing images of ice cream scooped into ornamental glass dishes and decorated with chocolate syrup and cherries. Although the sign and the eatery's 1950s-style decor suggest an old-fashioned ice-cream parlor, not everything that comes from the kitchen is a dessert.

In the mornings, cooks griddle omelets with ingredients such as bay shrimp or italian sausage. Later in the day, they simmer made-from-scratch soups, charbroil new york strip steaks, and grill burgers made from beef, salmon, or veggies. With a spacious and welcoming ambiance, Trotters Family Restaurant is well suited for large groups such as sports teams or rogue conga lines wandering through town.

5 Great Places for Turkey Dinners Year Round

Thanksgiving dinner is one of life’s great treasures - not only do you get to celebrate everything you’re thankful for with friends and family, but you get to top it all off with stuffing and gravy and a big piece of pumpkin pie. If you wish Thanksgiving happened more than just once a year, then you’re in luck. Here’s a list of Seattle eateries where I get my turkey dinner fix any time of year: Bakemans Restaurant: Pioneer Square is in the midst of hipsterfication, but Bakemans Restaurant was around way before it was cool to eat delicious food south of downtown. Bakeman’s is a little hard to find (it’s hidden away in a basement under a bank) and you need to get your order straight before getting in line (seriously, no substitutions), and I’ve had the owner call me “kiddo” on numerous visits, but it serves up one of the greatest turkey sandwiches (cranberry sauce optional but recommended) in Seattle for under five dollars. And don’t even think about not ordering pie - they’ve got a rotating selection of homemade pies that are to die for. Gobble Restaurant (Woodinville): Who knew that you could find an entire restaurant dedicated to turkey out in wine country? Gobble Restaurant serves up a Carved Turkey Platter for just $10.99 any time of year, so you can get your fix any time. Now Make Me a Sandwich: One of the best-named food trucks in Seattle also serves up an entire holiday between two pieces of bread. Their Thanksgiving Sandwich consists of turkey, bacon, cranberry sauce, stuffing, gravy, and rosemary aioli and proves that the only thing that can make Thanksgiving even more awesome is bacon. Witness Bar: A new addition to Capitol Hill, this Southern cocktail bar may not strike you as a place to get your Thanksgiving fix, but one bite of their Stuffing Fritters will make you a believer. Full of buttery bready goodness, they are made even better when accompanied by something from the Witness cocktail menu. Radiator Whiskey: Want to nosh on a giant turkey leg like Fred Flinstone? Then cozy up to the bar (or grab a table) at Radiator Whiskey and feast on the Turkey Drum Confit. You’ll feel like it’s the holiday season (or like you’re at a Renaissance Faire) no matter what month it is.

How to Heal with Hot Pot

Chinese hot pot is one of the world’s most curative foods. Perhaps not by any scientific measure, but those who have experienced the bug-squashing spice, congestion-clearing steamy broth, and soul-comforting swish of meat through soup, they know. A hot pot meal begins with a tureen of bubbling liquid coming to the table. Most places offer a variety of flavors—with plain traditional and spicy Sichuan being the most common—from which a table selects one or two. Then, depending on the restaurant, servers will either ask for preferences or simply bring a parade of all-you-can-eat meats, noodles, seafood, and vegetables. Diners can simply swish the food through the broth (as with thinly-sliced meats) or leave it to soak in the broth (recommended for heartier green vegetables and offal). As fall cold season comes to town, here’s a list of a few great places to cure any ills. Little Sheep Mongolian Hot Pot Nobody likes to recommend a chain restaurant, but this is an outlet of a well-known, well-respected Chinese hot pot restaurant, and it has an order-by-item menu with all the standard items, as well as a few that might seem weird—frozen sponge tofu, anyone?—but work amazingly in hot pot. It’s a great place for first timers to the dish: servers and menus help explain how to eat it, and booths offer a little privacy, so no need to worry about looking silly. Gourmet Noodle Bowl Gourmet Noodle Bowl is an easy option for upscale, high-quality hot pot. Portions are smaller because meats are more nicely sliced and marbled, but it’s all-you-can-eat, so patience and a waitress are all that’s needed to make the portions larger. The initial selection is fairly small—just the basics—but there is a menu of good, if expensive, add-ons. Sichuanese Cuisine On rainy nights, most of central Seattle seems to be crammed into this tiny treasure of a restaurant. Those in the know will have the tell-tale burner on the table, dipping into the bowl of broth. The dipping selection is small at Sichuanese Cuisine, but it’s a reasonably-priced, all-you-can-eat option and the motherly Chinese women bustling around to bring more meat are as comforting as the Sichuan peppercorn-infused broth. And when asked nicely, they’ll bring out the “thick noodles,” which, alone, are worth having to park in the city’s tiniest, most aggravating parking lot, located in front of the restaurant. Hong Kong Bistro Late night hot pot cravings, be gone! This cavernous, plain Chinatown spot not only serves up a huge variety of oddities and organ meats (this is advanced level hot pot eating), but does so until the wee hours of the morning. The menu comes on a checklist, where diners can check off pork livers or tofu puffs, fish balls or what’s listed as sausage. Don’t be fooled: there’s no fancy charcuterie or bratwurst here—that’s a run of the mill hot dog. All the usual suspects are on offer, but everything

Order Like a Frenchman This Bastille Day

Bastille Day—also known as French National Day—commemorates the French Revolution and is typically marked by military parades, picnics, dances, and fireworks … in France. In the United States, however, it’s just a great excuse to enjoy some French food and wine. But just in case your high-school French is a bit rusty, we put together this cheat sheet—complete with a pronunciation guide!—highlighting popular French delicacies and the Seattle restaurants that serve them. Pommes Frites (pom freet) What it is: In French, this term sounds romantic. In English, it translates to “potato fries,” more commonly known here as french fries. In French restaurants, dishes served with fries are marked “et frites”—as in “moules et frites” (mussels with fries). Where to try it: Try the frites and aioli—another French word for a sauce made with garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and egg yolks—at Bastille Café & Bar (5307 Ballard Ave. NW) in Ballard. Charcuterie (car-chu-kur-ree) What it is: This word actually refers to a type of preparation and preservation of meat. Most accurately, it means “cold prepared meats.” Where to try it: Le Pichet (1933 First Ave.) in Pike Place Market offers an extensive list of charcuterie. Selections include Lyon-style sausage with pork and pistachios and duck-liver terrine with green peppercorns. Beignet (bean-yay) What it is: A French term for fritter, meaning anything dipped in batter and deep-fried. Many people are familiar with the sweet, powdered-sugar variety popular in New Orleans, but beignets can also be savory, incorporating vegetables, meat, or seafood. Where to try it: The crab beignets at Chef Thierry Rautureau’s downtown restaurant, Loulay Kitchen & Bar (600 Union St.), are made with dungeness crab and served with harissa aioli. Boeuf Bourguignon (boof boor-gee-nyawn) What it is: A beef stew made by slow-cooking the meat in red burgundy wine with herbs and vegetables. Where to try it: Voila! Bistrot (2805 E. Madison St.), a French restaurant in Madison Valley, features a boeuf bourguignon with braised short ribs, red-wine sauce, and yukon potatoes. Cassoulet (ka-soo-lay) What it is: A white-bean stew made with various meats, vegetables, and herbs that is slowly cooked or baked in an oven. Where to try it: The menu at Place Pigalle (81 Pike St.) in Pike Place Market boasts a rabbit cassoulet prepared with braised rabbit leg, white beans, and housemade sausage. Foie Gras (fwah grah) What it is: A paste of liver made from specially fattened geese or duck that is usually served with toast or as part of another dish. Where to try it: Maximilien (81A Pike St.) in Pike Place Market—known for its romantic setting and amazing views of Elliott Bay—prepares a decadent duo de foie gras: house-cured and seared foie gras with bing cherries, pear chutney, butter brioche, and balsamic reduction. Tartare (tahr-tahr) What it is: Raw meat that has been very finely chopped. Where to try it: Café Campagne (1600 Post Alley) in Pike Place Market offers a rich tartare de boeuf, made with rib eye, shallots, capers, dijon, and quail egg and served with toasted baguette slices. Gougeres (goo-zhair) What it is: A bite-sized savory pastry puff made with cheese. Where to try it: Try the light and airy gougeres (made with thyme and gruyère) fresh out of the oven next time you visit Pair (5501 30th Ave. NE), a local wine bar and café in the Ravenna neighborhood. Rillettes (ri-lets) What it is: An appetizer similar to pâte made from chopped meat (typically pork) that has been seasoned, slowly cooked, then preserved in fat. It is usually served with bread for spreading. Where to try it: Rillettes du jour at À La Bonne Franquette (1421 31st Ave. S) in the Mount Baker neighborhood features an ever-changing roster of rillettes served with baguette, chutney, cornichon, and mustard. Confit (kawn-fee) What it is: Meat (usually duck leg) that is preserved by first being salted and cooked in its own juices, then stored in its own fat. Where to try it: The European-inspired bistro Gainsbourg (8550 Greenwood Ave. N) in Greenwood serves its duck confit stewed with white beans, vegetables, braised kale, and apple cider.
