As you already know, one of my favorite things to do is eat. Many of you also know I love to travel. This two things are the perfect combination. One of the reasons I love to travel is because of all the new food adventures I get to have.
Last June I was able to go to some of my dearest friends' wedding in Seattle, WA. I went several days early to hangout out and oh boy does Seattle have amazing food! Also, while this post is mainly about food, it would be a crime to not showcase a little of Washington's beauty.
First stop: Bachelor Party. All of the guys went camping in the beautiful location.
Camp food: Steak, potatoes, corn on the cob, smores & beer (not pictured).
Next stop: Fonte Cafe
If you are ever in Seattle, you need to make sure you make a stop at Fonte Cafe near the Public Market for brunch. It can't be beat.
Aztec Mocha - Latte with chocolate, cayenne, cinnamon, and black Pepper
Yogurt & Granola with Fresh Fruit and Golden Raisins
Fonte Scramble in a Croissant - Peppered Bacon, Mushrooms, Asparagus, Roasted Red Peppers, Fresh Herbs & Fonte Cheese Blend
Charcuterie Hash - Assorted Cured Meats, Potatoes, Roasted Red Peppers & Onions, Topped with a Fried Egg
Next stop: Public Market
Le Famous Sign
Fresh Seafood
Fresh Vegetables
AMAZING cherries
Pasta Bar
Next Stop: Wedding
My friends had a beautiful mid-morning wedding. What better idea than to serve brunch?
Beverage Station
*Please note, Southern Sweet Tea
Waffle Bar
Waffle Condiments
Potatoes, Sausage, Bacon, Hashbrown Potatoes
Glance at my plate
The groom's family friends made these delicious pies and brought them all the way from Oregan
Blueberry Nectarine
Blackberry
Raspberry Mascarpone
Chocolate Blackout Cupcakes (nom!)
Chocolate Dipped Strawberries
Wedding Cake
Next Stop: Serious Pie
Renowned Chef Tom Douglas recently opened this restaurant in downtown Seattle. My long lost friend from high school and fellow foodie ended up taking me to the airport for my red eye back to Atlanta. Where else would we kill time but at a truly remarkable culinary establishment?
Local Draft
Lardo, Soft Egg & Arugula
Chantrelle Mushroom & Truffle Cheese
That. Good.
Lemon Pudding Cake, Thyme, Crispy Amaretti
Chocolate Budino, Sea Salt, Olive Oil
It would be worth a trip just to Seattle just to eat at Serious Pie. Seriously. (We may or may not have bought t-shirts to show our support/fat-ass-ary)
I've never been to an outdoor wedding where it rained before. But it wouldn't have been Seattle if it wasn't a little wet, right? I don't think it could have been a more beautiful wedding.
Check out their blog!
** And just in case anyone was wondering, the couple is still happily married almost one year later.
So to sum it all up: Seattle is amazing. The food is even better. I ate way more than what is pictured in this post, let's be honest. Now you need to go there and tell me what you eat!
Love it! Come back soon :)
