Seattle - Tom Douglas
Seattle`s favorite restaurateur is responsible for putting Northwest cuisine on the map. He tanked on "Iron Chef", but don`t feel too bad for him – a popular radio show, a handful of cookbooks, and plenty of attention from the James Beard Awards gives this chef plenty to brag about.
Dahlia – $$ - This is the crown jewel of Douglas`s empire and the dining spot that put Northwest cuisine on the map. Menu options like the troll-caught King Salmon with curried cauliflower, black butter spinach, and gingered cashews scored the chef a James Beard nomination for Best Restaurant in 2006.
Estimated Bill: $189.60
Serious Pie – $ - Douglas takes an affordable detour at his haute-pizzeria where “serious” toppings like the hot Coppa with soft egg and dandelion greens will give you the experimental sensibility of Dahlia without the cost.
Estimated Bill: $80.41
