  • Best Seattle food podcast

    I like that Tan is like your personal best friend who has the inside scoop on the best eats in town. I like the short length of the podcasts. He covers the topic succinctly and thoroughly and there’s no filler.

What the heck is happening at Canlis?

The $180 per person prefixed menu didn't justify the price with the quality of the dishes served.
Confessions of a Seattle food critic

Seattle doesn't have a unique palette but offers more vegetarian and plant-based dishes compared to other cities.
Confessions of a Seattle food critic
Q: What is your go-to comfort meal or dish, and where is it from?
My comfort dish is rubichon mashed potatoes, which is served as a side dish but I eat the whole shebang at home.
Confessions of a Seattle food critic
Q: If you have bad food or a bad experience at a restaurant, do you choose to not post your review?
Yes, we do publish negative reviews. We do mention when the food is bad, but I usually try it at least twice to give the restaurant the benefit of the doubt.
