Pho Bac

Pho Bac has been called the best pho in Seattle, so I checked it out to see if the hype is real. They have 2 locations – but their Seattle location on Jackson is currently the only one open for dine-in, so I bundled up in the cold and headed there for a warm bowlContinue reading “Pho Bac”

Turkey Sliders

Burgers are great, but sliders are definitely superior! They are way more fun to eat because who doesn’t love eating miniature versions of their favorite foods?! If a menu has an option for sliders vs a burger, you better believe I am getting the sliders 100% of the time. These sliders are made with turkeyContinue reading “Turkey Sliders”

The Baked Bear

The Baked Bear is a custom ice cream sandwich shop with locations across the country! I mean who doesn’t love two warm cookies with creamy ice cream stuffed in between? Those premade, frozen ice cream sammies you can find in stores have nothing on The Baked Bear. How it works is you go in andContinue reading “The Baked Bear”

Papa Chango

Looking for a little slice of Miami in Seattle? Well this is the place for you. Papa Chango is a new coffee shop in Ballard bringing some Miami-Cuban style coffee to the area. This is the first coffee shop of its kind and they are here to play with the big coffee scene Seattle isContinue reading “Papa Chango”

Bulgogi Banh Mi

I love a good banh mi – they are fresh and filling! They also come with so many options for filling and I love the contrast of the warm, tender meat with the cold, crunchy, pickled vegetables on top. I could probably eat banh mi everyday for the rest of my life and be fullyContinue reading “Bulgogi Banh Mi”

Prelude

OKC’s coffee scene has really stepped its game up over the last few years. There are so many new shops and roasters that were not around when I was growing up there. It is so fun coming back and visiting and seeing all the new places that have popped up. OKC is really growing andContinue reading “Prelude”

Chicken Kofta Gyros + Tzatziki

I love mediterranean food – the flavors are so delicious and I could honestly eat hummus by the spoonful. It winter and I want to eat things that are warm and comforting but also that still nourish my body and won’t leave me sluggish. I developed this recipe just for that! The warm naan andContinue reading “Chicken Kofta Gyros + Tzatziki”

Big Truck Tacos

Big Truck Tacos has been a fixture in OKC for as long as I can remember! They started out as a food truck long ago and then they opened a restaurant on 23rd street – also as long as I can remember. In fact, I can’t think of a time in my life that BigContinue reading “Big Truck Tacos”

Johnnie’s Charcoal Broiler

Have you ever had a charbroiled burger? Well if no, they are delicious! Johnnie’s is one of the oldest (actually it is probably THE oldest) burger place in OKC that is still slinging burgers today. It opened in 1971 and is known for their charbroiled burgers! Charbroiled burgers in my opinion are juicier, smokier, andContinue reading “Johnnie’s Charcoal Broiler”

This spot has some very instagrammable vibes between the beautiful colors and decor to the artfully prepared dishes and drinks. During the weekends they have a delectable brunch sceneContinue reading “Olmstead”
