1. The Drive-In Style Cheeseburger at Structures Brewing lives up to the hype. Crispy-edged beef, melty American cheese, onion, pickle, and house sauce on a soft bun that is seriously satisfying.
2. A stop at Storia Cucina always turns into a full meal. The Pappardelle Bolognese is comforting, delicious, and finished with a generous snowfall of Parmesan.
3. Oyster & Thistle’s O&T Clams with smoked tomatoes, pickled peppers, capers, and lemon offer bold, punchy flavors—plus, the view of the Swinomish Channel is unforgettable.
4. From Shari’s Cafe & Pies’ all-day breakfast menu, the Avocado Toast is a classic light option! With avocado, tomato, and eggs, this is such a satisfying and delicious menu item. To continue the fresh eats, it’s best paired with a side of fresh fruit!
5. The $1 Carnitas Tacos at Mi Rancho Meat Market are an unbeatable deal—tender, slow-cooked pork packed into handmade corn tortillas and topped with onions and cilantro, with salsa on the side.
6. The hearty San Juan Islander personal pizza at Skagit River Brewery pairs perfectly with a cold local brew. Honey ham, pineapple, jalapeno, and fried onion come together in sweet harmony on this pie!
7. The Homemade Falafel from Mediterranean Specialties Cafe in Bellingham is packed with flavor, fresh veggies, and a zesty sauce that ties it all together.
8. The Pad See Ew from Thai Maison hits all the right notes—soft noodles, savory spicy sauce, and crisp veggies with your choice of protein. Add the chicken, it’s excellent!
