Delicatus (Seattle, WA)

May 26, 2010 by ericriveracooks

My search for great deli’s in Seattle continues. So far I have been to a few that I will recap when I finish my list but it has been a great journey so far. In between the time of making my list and running around Seattle with school, working, and doing this blog thing a new deli has opened up in the heart of Pioneer Square. I have been waiting to go for a few weeks now and I finally […]

Beecher’s Handmade Cheese: Seattle, WA

October 6, 2009 by ericriveracooks

Had an hour to kill before my next class so I quickly walked over to Beecher’s Handmade Cheese. This is not my first and it won’t be my last encounter with Beecher’s. You may remember me talking about Maximus/Minimus/Awesomus (click) a few months ago……well, Beecher’s owns that little truck of awesomus. The next time you visit the little truck and wonder, “Damn, this cheese is good where can I buy it from?”. Now you know! I love the layout of […]

The Swinery: West Seattle, WA

September 22, 2009 by ericriveracooks

Oh is it ever! Chef Gabriel Claycamp is back!!! I posted an announcement about Chef Claycamp’s closing of his Culinary Communion back in March (click). His press release stated a new business called The Swinery which would have cured meats, meats, and more meats. I have been waiting for this day for a long time! I was reading the West Seattle Blog on Twitter and they said the opening was postponed until today which was great for me because yesterday […]

A&J Meats and Seafood Inc: Seattle, WA

September 22, 2009 by ericriveracooks

Take a number and get ready to eat some meat! Chef told us about a A&J Meats in class a few weeks ago and I have been waiting to go ever since she told us a little bit about them. She told us they had pretty much any type or cut of meat we could ever find/need/want/dream about. As always, Chef was correct! I made my voyage over to Queen Anne in Seattle. Queen Anne is an area that I’m […]

De Laurenti’s Food Market

September 18, 2009 by ericriveracooks

I’m getting on a roll with my Thursday afternoon walks around Seattle. The bad thing is that the quarter is almost over and this was my last walk Thursday walk. Next quarter I have class all day Monday so don’t worry you will still have the opportunity to see more food stuff! De Laurenti’s is an Italian food market in Pike Place Market that has just about every specialty Italian food item available (If they don’t have it then they […]

The Buffalo Deli: New York Style in Seattle, WA

September 16, 2009 by ericriveracooks

When I have class on Thursday I usually get an hour or two break in between classes. I try to walk as far away as I can from school in order to scope out local food, equipment stores, book stores, antique stores, and just about anything that will sell something food related. About a month ago I was walking by this deli and I didn’t have enough time to stop because I had already spent an hour in a book […]
