- We recently picked up a box of treats from New Whatcom Pastries for the office – we had the Almond Bear Claw, Raspberry Diamond, Butter Braid, Cherry Turnover, Rhubarb Boat, and Chocolate Streusel, and they were all delicious!
- Looking for something to warm you up? With its thick bone broth and filling BBQ pork, the Tonkotsu Ramen at Hokkai Ramen & Sushi is perfect to help you get cozy on that chilly day.
- At Burnt Side Down, Bellingham’s grilled cheese food truck, closed favorite bar The Green Frog lives on in The Gorgonzola, a melty blend of mozzarella, gorgonzola, green apples, and candied bacon on French bread.
- Anacortes restaurant Tasha Lee’s Table opened last year and has garnered much acclaim! They serve thoughtful takes on everything from sushi to a New York Strip Steak, but we recommend the Kimchi Veggie Burger.
- Whenever we eat at Fortune Mandarin, in Mount Vernon, we can never resist the Salt & Pepper Shrimp. The big, juicy prawns are perfectly cooked and fried to crispy, salty, spicy perfection.
- For a flavorful Pad See Ew that won’t let you down, try Bangkok Bistro Fine Thai Cuisine in Burlington; the portion size will probably get you through to lunch the next day, too. It comes fairly mild, so add spice if you’re a fire-breather.
- Indulge Bakery is back open after the fire that closed their doors last year—what better way to celebrate than with the delicious Cranny Sammie, which takes a standard turkey sandwich and holidays it up with cranberry sauce!
- The Chicharrones at Redrum Tiki Bar keep us coming back for more! Available in a medium and full size, these juicy, crispy, chewy, meaty morsels are everything you always wanted cracklins to be.
