Who knew Seattle had so many food shops, tasty treats, bistros, and everything gourmet. This was probably my 2nd or 3rd time visiting and it has definitely bourgeoned in the last 10-12 years since I've been. Recently featured in a NY Times article which cleverly dubbed the Seattle food movement as "Fork by Northwest," is has definitely become a food mecca destination. The city has an incredibly unique flavor and a vibe that is of its own - worlds away from the food cultures in San Francisco, Portland, and Los Angeles. There is an incredible seafaring culture here, with Dungeness Crabs bigger than your head and Lobster tails up to 20 inches long on display at the markets. The clam chowder is to die for at Pike Place Chowder, the local cheese at Beecher's Handmade Cheese is unlike you've ever tried, and the Chocolate Mousse at Le Pichet is out of this world.
