  Where can I get the best boxed lunches?

  0 0 I really like Gourmondo's food that I've had at some more upscale parties. They have a lot of variability in pricing, so you can order yourself something awesome if you want :) They also support Childhaven with a percentage of their profits. http://www.gourmondocatering.com/seattle-box-lunches.cfm Mama's Brown Bags is another one with a social conscious whose food I've enjoyed in the past http://www.mamasbrownbags.com/news/46/whatsrosietheriveterdoingatmamasbrownbags Julia Wayne answered in Eating Out 7 months ago Answer, comment & read 4 more answers »

  Restaurant ideas: where to take mom?

  3 0 Ristorante Machiavelli is a good choice--cheap (nothing over like $16, most around $10), delicious, and chock full of accessible Italian standards. Julia Wayne answered in Eating Out 9 months ago Answer, comment & read 7 more answers »

  Where should I take my boyfriend for his birthday?

  3 0 Take him to Agua Verde, which is not very expensive so you won't feel as guilty and, just in case he was a little nervous about the moolah, he'll be stoked. The food is very fresh, the view is unbeatable, and you can either start or follow the date with a wooden boat rental from the restaurant.

  Is there anywhere I can buy guanciale in Seattle?

  2 0 I buy mine from either Seabreeze at the Ballard Farmers Market or Heath Putnam's Wooly Pigs at the University District Farmers Market. Heath's pigs are Mangalitsa which means "delicious in the mouth" in a language I just made up. Julia Wayne answered in Meat 11 months ago Answer, comment & read 4 more answers »

  where can i find escargot (for cooking at home)?

  7 0 You can find the snails (Apple snails work well) at Uwajimaya in the frozen food sections, near the fresh fish counter. Sautée them with garlic and butter, parsley and any other herbs you want in the mix and then present them however you wish. If you want to do them in the shells, like the classic French way, you can find the shells at Uwajimaya too, I believe. Just wash them first. If you're talking about finding them at a restaurant, you can get them at Gainsbourg in Greenwood and probably several other French or French-ish restaurants.
