Years in the fine dining world and countless hours watching Top Chef have left him spoiled and wanting more — some kind of curse.

What do two brothers with maxed out credit cards and an idea from 1999 have to do with fashion? In Seattle, everything.
From my understanding, the goals of a fashion designer are as follows: Attain comfortable fortune, dress outlandishly knowing no one can tell you how ridiculous you look, and somewhere along the line make clothes for those of your ilk. Pretty simple rules to follow. (more…)
Our top spots for chowing down on easter morning.
Easter Sunday is a holiday for everyone, religious or not. Whether you choose to spend the day with family or friends — or both — there are some time-tested rules to follow. The ham needs to be tender, cloth napkins are a must for the table setting, and a semi-formal dress code is strictly enforced. With this criteria in mind, Seattleite offers up our favorite spots for the biggest brunch of the year. (more…)
There’s doing it, and then there’s doing it right. If a mountain ski resort is the destination, lift access, exceptional food, provocative drink, and spa amenities are all musts. Nita Lake Lodge, just outside of Whistler village, provides all that and more in Canadian spades. (more…)
