The Grill is the newer restaurant replacing the storied Four Seasons restaurant in the Seagram’s Building, designed by famous architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. The design, setback from the street, was a novel concept, affording a large courtyard and presenting a more statuesque upright structure, which became a model for future architecture. The Four…

HadBurger XII 🍔
It was just after my 57th birthday when I cooked up three whole prime filets for my guests. My good friend Kenny could not make it, and bemoaned that he had never had a HadBurger, please! If you’ve read my site, you know that making and eating these is an endeavor and an endurance test….
Chez Vilardi 👨🍳
Few people know how good friends Joe and I are. I have known Joe well for about 15 years, when he was in his fifties! I met Joe when he was the famed proprietor and owner of Bellevue’s esteemed Bis on Main restaurant. By far the best restaurant in the greater Seattle area under Joe’s…
Asparagus, Morel, Spring Onion, Snap Pea Salad 🍄🟫🧅🫛🥬
I came across this recipe from Ethan Stowells Instagram. It’s now a favorite and staple dish on the summer dining menu. It’s rather simple, fresh asparagus – I found these beautiful purple stalks in the Pike Place Market, fresh morel mushrooms, spring onion, and fresh peas. Ingredients 1 bunch fresh asparagus peeled 1 spring onion…
HadBurger VIII 🍔
For my 53rd Birthday, I opted to make The HadBurger for myself and a few close friends. In terms of HadBurgers, this was pretty much my standard deluxe edition. Meats consisted of course the secret HadBurger prep, roasted and grilled bacon, grilled prosciutto, grilled mole salami, and grilled chicken apple sausage from Aidelles. HadBurger mixture…
Haddow’s Hadland Birthday Dinner 08-19-2021 🥩
My good friend Nick Haddow was kind enough to invite me to his Argentinian Asado Meat Feast for my birthday this year. Joined by our good friend Benson Miller, Nick put on a spectacular meal – one of the best I have ever enjoyed. He had multiple fire and heat sources going and truly showcased…
Tomahawks 🥩
I love cooking Tomahawks. This cut is a bone-in ribeye with the length of the rib bone intact. Some high-end steakhouses and restaurants serve this, carved tableside for two, and charge upwards of $180. I buy mine mostly from Don and Joe’s Butcher in the Pike Place Market. On average they are weighing about 3.5lbs….
HadBurger VI 🍔
Rhone’s Grandmother Barbara was wanting one of my famous HadBurgers since I first started making them. She and her husband, my favorite former Father-In-Law Dr. Jerry Sullivan were departing in a few days to Luxembourg to embark on a trip to facilitate dual citizenship for her and her descendants, including Rhone. Soon Rhone will also…
HadBurger IV 🍔
I had my good friend Chris Massot over for dinner who provided some lovely bottles of Continuum over in exchange for letting him store his wine with me. Lucky me! This is the formal version of HadBurgerIV.
HadBurger III 🍔
I made the HadBurger for me and my family on Father’s Day. I am going to name these after each instantiation of the meal I cook, much like WrestleMania, hence HadBurgerIII! What a wonderful gift to me. I went all out on toppings for this execution – grilled prosciutto, oven-roasted Nueske’s Bacon, thickly sliced beefsteak…
