Restaurant reviewers range far and wide in search of what's new, different, and unusual. But restaurant reviewers, like everyone else, go out to eat in celebration, for fun, for just plain sustenance. And, like everyone else, they tend to do it close to home. In this edition of Seattle Weekly's annual Dining Guide, we asked our writers to tell us about the places they go when they're eating for themselves (and paying their own bills) on their home turf, in 12 extended neighborhoods, each with its own style of dining. We surprised each other with some of our choices, and also ended up with some lists encouraging us to cross sample each others' favorites. We hope you enjoy reading—and eating out—as much as we did.
