Voracious Tasting
2012 will host 1,000 attendees at the Paramount Theatre on Thursday, April 5,
for a night of culinary celebration and recognition featuring 40 select
restaurant samplings, a handful of food trucks, specialty food sampling,
libation tasting from local mixologists, live demonstration, live music, and
the fifth annual presentation of the Seattle Weekly Food Awards to this year's
winners of the Sustainability, Innovation, and Pellegrini Awards.
A few restaurants
worth mentioning are Barrio, Tavolata, Bastille and Marche. There are two types
of tickets: for $40 you get an open bar & unlimited bites. For $80 you get the
same treats, plus an exclusive, private bar and access to the Voracious Tasting
an hour and a half early.
- Perhaps the best
sandwich I have ever eaten in Seattle was the Cuban Roast at Paseo. They
also make a fantastic Sautéed Prawns sandwich with six big prawns soaked in garlic,
spices and olive oil. Both sandwiches
are big enough to split, but you won’t want to hand one half over. Never eat a Paseo sandwich with long sleeves—the
juices will surely drip down your arm. My point: Paseo has
been closed for winter and just reopened on February 10. Get your Caribbean grub on.
If you haven’t been
to the Ballard Farmer’s Market, GO! It was awarded best large farmer’s market
in Washington. Fresh produce, cool jewelry, tasty meat and celebrity sightings
(after all, I met Dave Matthews here a few months ago.) Open every Sunday, rain or shine from 10 am
to 3 pm.

Eeee! Two of my favorite things listed: Paseo and Ballard Farmer's Market. I now have an intense craving for a Paseo sandwich.
