Wednesday, November 4, 2026 United States · Seattle This was my 2nd visit to LTD Edition Sushi. I mistakenly reserved a table vs. the one I counted. Always reserve a counter seat for an omakase dinner. Better food, better service. The food was good, but the overall experience fell short because Trevor and I didn’t…

Steak au Poivre with Jim 🥩
Saturday, October 31, 2026 It was Halloween night, and Jim had the kitchen pass while his wife, Laura, was out of town for the weekend. After an evening of drinking at Jim’s last night, we decided to cook at Chez Had and make some whisky sours. I wanted to perfect my steak au poivre sauce…
Yoin 🇺🇸🍣
Wednesday, October 28, 2026 United States · Seattle · Queen Anne Yoin has recently become one of Seattle’s hottest restaurants. I have been on a mission to visit every omakase restaurant in Seattle, so this was a must-visit given its recent press. Carl and I received wonderful service from the lovely, talented Sunmin Lee.

Kakurenbo 🇺🇸🍶
Thursday, October 22, 2026 United States · Seattle · Japantown Dine Club with Trevor. I had cooking fatigue after four nights of making large meals for family and friends. Tonight’s dinner was at Kakurenbo Seattle, which means hide-and-seek in Japanese. An amazing Japanese restaurant and quite possibly my best Omakase meal ever. That’s saying a lot, and…
Death & Co 🇺🇸🍸
Trevor and I decided to hit the grand opening of Death & Co, the famous New York bar where mixology is both art and science. There is a Death & Co in Colorado where Trevor went to school so he was familiar with the concept. I had bought Carter their mixology book for Christmas a…
TheHad Birthday 58 🎂
A rooftop gathering in Seattle in between trips to Manila, hosted by my good friend Nick Haddow, with oysters, a chopped seafood dish with crackers, selfies with friends, and the downtown towers going pink at sunset with the moon coming up. A small gathering with a select few, I was leaving back for Manila the…
Taneda 🇺🇸🍣
Trevor secured one of the most difficult reservations to obtain in Seattle – Taneda’s omakase experience. We continue our tour of Seattle’s best sushi restaurants. The restaurant, as viewed from above, is in this Capitol Hill location, hidden deep in a hallway off the street next to a barbershop. All of the glassware and dishes…
ShoMon Kappo Sushi 🇺🇸🍣
Trevor and I continued our tour of Omakase restaurants in Seattle; next up, ShoMon Kappo Sushi. If the staff is all Japanese and speaks little English, you are in for a great Japanese dining experience. It was fun chatting with the staff in my limited Japanese. Sakizuke Hassun This was a great omakase experience in…
LTD Edition Sushi 🇺🇸🍣
A few days prior to our Copenhagen trip, Carter and I went to LTD Edition Sushi. It’s a relatively new spot by Chef Kenji, who trained under Shiro at Shiros, so my expectations are high. Chef Kenji imports water from Japan to make his rice. No detail is left out. The fish was amazing, and…
Spinasse 🇺🇸🍝
Spinasse is my 2nd favorite Italian restaurant in Seattle. I have dined here many times over the year and love their northern Italian-influenced cuisine. The atmosphere is rustic and romantic—perfect for a date night with my sons, Carter and Rhone. Sorry, Mom, I haven’t taken you here yet – I promise, soon. My favorite spot…
