    Top Tamales: La Benedicion Tienda Mexicana

    I am an unapologetic tamale snot; so thanks to photog Andrea J. Walker who offered the hot tip to Beacon Hill, but no directions, though I found my way anyway...guided by masa.

    Get Your Gefilte Fish on With On Safari Foods

    Just talked to Naomi (aka gastrognome) at On Safari Foods about their house made gefilte fish, available starting tomorrow and running through Passover, which begins this Thursday.

    Noooooo...Chang Ahn Jung Goes Chinese

    A comment on the Seattle Weekly 2009 Favorite Restaurants site alerted me to the fact that Chang Ahn Jung, a Korean restaurant in Federal Way I liked so much that it became my Portland-drive pitstop, has the same name, Korean-speaking owners -- but now the menu's Chinese-Korean.

    New Fremont Pho (and Frozen Yogurt) Place

    What could be Fremont's first pho place (at least as far as anyone can remember) is now open for business, and it comes with a surprising added bonus.

    XXXXX Stout Gelato at Gelatiamo Through March

    I had this gelato, from Gelatiamo, at Pike Brewing's Chocolate and booze party just before Valentine's Day.
