Cheesemonger’s Table We all rely on one another to help with certain tasks. Very few of us pull our own teeth, for example. In law school, I was told that a lawyer who represents him or herself has a fool for a client. So why would I be embarrassed to seek counsel from a highly…
Did you ever notice that each menu at the Salt & Iron in downtown Edmonds is “signed?” Look at the bottom right corner next time you’re there. You’ll see the names “chefs Kevin Favro, Skyeler Milgate, and Schubert Ho.” I like it when people sign their work. Generally, it means they’re proud of it. Usually…

I met with Ohly and his wife, Heather, who’s partnered with Bob raising children in Edmonds, and in many aspects of his coffee life, at Caffe Ladro’s Edmonds location at Five…

Opportunities abound both in town and not so far out of town, for dining al fresco. The shorter list would be establishments who do NOT have a spot to enjoy our wonderful sunny weather. Sidewalks with sunshine have encouraged most local entrepreneurs to park a few tables where space permits, so diners can catch a few…
We stripped the paper off our wooden chopsticks and salivated in anticipation. We just ordered a Sashimi Sushi Combo at one of our favorite places in Edmonds — Sushi Moto Japanese restaurant.

Be warned: parking spots are at a premium in the Brentwood Plaza…
