Paris-Brest and the STP-Seattlest
This wheel-shaped dessert? GQ magazine named it "Dessert of the Year" in 2010. It's called a Paris-Brest, named for a bike race in France, the Paris-Brest-Paris. The PBP is the second-oldest cycling event in the world, and still the longest one-day event since it covers 1,200 km (750 miles). That's a lot of riding. Closest thing hereabouts is, of course, the STP, organized by the Cascade Bicycle Club. The annual ride, held in the...

Sponsored Post: Sunrise Belongs to Moderate Drinkers
The following post is from our advertiser, Heineken.
We're sure you know the feeling all too well. A night of hardcore drinking can leave you feeling useless the next morning. Forget brunch with your friends--you're holed up in your apartment with the blinds down because you can't deal with the sunlight. We're thinking Heineken might be on to something with their new "Sunrise Belongs to Moderate Drinkers" initiative. Just think, if you didn't insist on that tequila shot to end the night you could've met your friends for brunch, done your laundry...at the very least taken a shower.

In With The New Year, Out With The Old Bawdy
Still not sure what to do on New Year's Eve? Not really interested in endless bar hopping or crowds of 21-year-old hooligans? Might we suggest, then, heading to Pike Brewery & Pub for a classy (and delicious) New Year's Eve dinner and the pre-release party of this year's Old Bawdy Barley Wine. You know you're already going to get pretty hammered on this night anyway, with the celebration and ringing in of 2012, might...

Pike Place Market: Eat, Drink, Sleep
Pike Place by Jon S. from our Flickr pool 10 days and counting. That's right; just 10 days left before Christmas. For some of you that means last minute shopping, wrapping and filling those stockings with a few more stuffers. For others it means finalizing your travel plans, packing and heading out on the busy highways or taking to the air to visit family and friends. For those of you that celebrate Christmas you're...

"Double Tall To Go" Takes On New Meaning
Ah, Starbucks, Seattle's temperamental teenager! She's long outgrown her training bra. Founded here, headquartered here, fawned-over and cossetted, she's as closely watched as a pubescent-adolescent celebrity, and as exasperating a child as ever captured our fancy. Starbucks remains the world's most popular brand, with something like 50 million customer visits a month. She's trying so hard, our mercurial, petulant sexpot! The world loves her, but the family that raised her, and still has her...

Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner!
Sunday dinner, the ritual, is what restaurants like to do. Saturday nights are from hell (most places), Monday's dark (many places), so Sunday's when the chefs strut their stuff. At Tavolata, for example, they do $65 "feasts" that feature suckling pig or whole goat around their communal table. Emmer & Rye does Sunday dinners in their lofty upstairs space. Le Pichet does Sunday afternoon events, Harvest Vine does special Sunday menus. And then there's...

That's right, Jconnect and...

City of Seattle Wants Your Leftover Thanksgiving Oil
Photo by tuchodi via Flickr. If you've still got leftovers in the fridge, you should probably know that they're only good for like, 5 days, maximum. If you've got leftover turkey oil, however, you should probably know that the City really doesn't want you dumping it down the drain. The City of Seattle is very nervous that you may still, inexplicably, have 5-day-old turkey oil chilling somewhere in your house that is going to...
