More Comings and Goings
Comings:
1. Tomorrow, December 29th, the Vude event space on S. Lake Union will be hosting a family holiday meal featuring the 98178's own Brad Inserra. Brad is the former chef/owner of the Swingside Cafe in Fremont, and just about everything he cooks is amazingly good. At this point, it is almost sold out. The ticket price includes food, alcohol, gratuity, tax and live music.

2. A teriyaki place is opening in Skyway, where the Afriq bar/hookah bar was on Renton Avenue. While restaurants may be opening up all over the Seattle area, Skyway, sadly, has been left out, with many places gone but not replaced. So this is good news. Especially with Nevzat Cankaya relocating his coffee stand across the street from it's current location, and with it he will open up a sit down coffee shop and serve Turkish food, scheduled to open sometime this summer.
3. Asadero Sinaloa, the only Mexican steakhouse in the state, will be relocating it's Kent location, from the southwestern outer reaches of Kent, to downtown Kent. They now have a very popular sister restaurant in Seattle's Ballard neighborhood. They serve prime and Wagyu beef, grilled over charcoal. Best Carne Asada I've ever tasted. The place is really good.
4. Burger Addict, on the Maple Valley Highway, now has a couple of food trucks, including one in Renton, in the Fry's Electronics parking lot. This is a closer location for me. Burger Addict is owned by a Michelin rated chef, and that is demonstrated in the quality of the burgers. Which are very reasonably priced when compared to other artisan burger places.
Goings:
Hauarachito's Cocina, the elegant/artsy Mexican place across from the Othello Light Rail Station is gone. They were really good. But there's this expectation that certain types of food are supposed to be inexpensive, no matter how elegant or excellent they are, or no matter how much time and money it costs to produce this food. Vietnamese is a prime example. Mexican is another. There is such a thing as elegant Mexican food, and it's as far from the standard Mexican American glop as elegant Italian is from Chef Boyardee. A few months back El Bule in Renton also closed, and, although they weren't exactly elegant, they did feature fresh seafood.
Still there:
I miss the Afghani restaurant in downtown Renton, which burned down then relocated to bellevue. But there is an Afghan restaurant, the Silk Road Cafe, on the East Hill of Kent. I haven't been to it yet, but Afghani food is really, really good. Kinda like a meld of the best of Middle Eastern and the best of Indian, with other influences like Persian as well. One of top three or four cuisines, a vastly underrated cuisine.
