Maria’s Nutrition Page
I’ve posted a separate link to my nutrition page that you can read when you have a little time. I’ve been studying my own eating habits to prepare for a rock climbing trip to Thailand in February. It’s amazing how little I knew about nutrition — and I’m a chef who went to culinary school. I hope you get a kick out of it.
Where I Like to Eat
People ask me all the time where I like to eat when I’m not cooking. Here is my current list:
- Brasa (brasa.com): Because Tamara’s food is full of earthy and robustly warm flavors.
- Cafe Juanita (cafejuanita.com): Because Holly’s pasta is amazing.
- La Carta de Oaxaca (lacartadeoaxaca.com): Because you’ve never seen an all-female line rock the kitchen the way they do and put out consistent, fast, incredible food traditional to Oaxaca.
- Chiso (chisoseattle.com): Because I can never get enough of Taichi’s kasu black cod and the chawan mushi.
- Cremant (cremantseattle.com): Because Scott makes the best French onion soup and fries I’ve ever had.
- The Harvest Vine (harvestvine.com): Because Joseba’s food tastes sun-drenched.
- Oliver’s Twist (oliverstwistseattle.com): Because Dan makes delicious food that works so well with the creative cocktail list they have.
- Sambar (address): Because Jay makes the best drinks in town.
- Serious Pie (tomdouglas.com): Because the wood-fired clam and pancetta pizza is insanely delicious.
- Tavolata (tavolata.com): Because it’s meant for restaurant industry folks to come in and have a great late-night dinner after work. Thanks Ethan and Patrick!
- Tilth (tilthrestaurant.com): Because the weekend brunch features a croque madame and an heirloom tomato Bloody Mary that will make your day.
- Trophy Cupcakes (trophycupcakes.com): Because it makes your day better by eating the best cupcake ever — I like the PB & J flavor and the red velvet.
