I had lunch the other day with a couple of Seattle’s most awesome wine people at Tilikum Place Café. What do you do when there’s no Italian wine to drink? You order a lovely little Sancerre, like this tart little number from Philippe Raimbault. Steely, aromatic and
delicious- this was the perfect accompaniment to Chef Ba Culbert’s eclectic and delicious food.
We tried the soup of the day- a lovely little vegetable and ham stock, fresh and restorative. The chicken salad- a plate of roast chicken, potatoes, boiled eggs and the best aioli ever, was also a hearty and delectable option. Lunch is clearly not an afterthought here- it’s the main event.
This woman can cook!
Dessert was also amazing- a slice of coconut and macadamia nut pie, and a lovely little panna cotta topped with blood orange segments. Seasonal and delicious.
Every time I visit the Emerald City I am more convinced Seattle is an all-too-overlooked food and wine epicenter. Exciting chefs, fun and interesting wines, and an unparalleled community of food and wine geeks abound…
