The Eating Places

Welcome to my food blog. I have been very fortunate  to travel extensively and combined with my passion for all things food, I’ve had the opportunity to sample many examples of the food we all love. So you will see foods from the US, Europe, South America and Asia or wherever I happen to be. I also dabble in wine…..I make my own and have an understanding of the nuance of that food. My palate is broad so you’ll see many different cuisines represented in the posts. I’m usually not critical in the reviews but will indicate when a restaurant didn’t quite meet expectations.

I’ve arranged the site by city so if you want to check out Philly or Seattle metro or Sydney just type it in the search box. If you want to check out my must visits they are also listed. There are tags for each post which allow you to search based on common descriptions of the food or restaurant type and for Seattle post there are tags for the various neighborhoods.

Please also like The Eating Places on Facebook or follow on Instagram or Twitter. You can also sign up for email updates to stay on top of my recent post. 

If you have questions about a specific posting just leave a comment on the page or email me at theeatingplaces@gmail.com.

Enjoy!

      Bow WA

        Finally: Taylor Farms Samish Oyster Bar. It’s the holy grail of shellfish farms in Western Washington and because it’s so popular…it requires perseverance to get a seat at the table....

        Philadelphia

          Another Philly find: Laurel. Another late arriving flight…this time one and a half hours! Barely made my reservation going straight from the airport. Thanks Uber! This is another Philly restaurant...

          Vancouver BC

            A neighborhood find: Bar Susu. Located at the juncture of East and West Vancouver, it’s a bit off the tourist routes which makes it all the more appealing. How best...

              Sports bar: Rough & Tumble Pub. Markets itself as Seattle’s sports bar for women’s sports. They have 18 screens so you can find all manner of sports on display. Very...

              Anacortes WA

                Usually a very busy place: The Shrimp Shack. It’s on the way to Deception Pass and it’s very popular after being there for over 50 years. We visited on a...

                Woodinville WA

                  Gotta have ice cream: Swanky Scoop. Heard many great recommendations about this place and it did not disappoint. Multiple flavors including at least 8 vegan offerings. To me, vegan or...

                  Philadelphia

                    Interesting find: Twisted Tail Bourbon Bar. Specializes in grilled food with a Southern touch which is interesting since the chef is Mexican and the owner a Brit. My first task...

                    Woodinville WA

                      Pho anyone? Pho 175. Once again found ourselves in Woodinville and decided to give this place a try. It did not disappoint. Expect typical Vietnamese cuisine with an extensive Pho...

                      Seattle

                        Mixed Plate: Buddha Bruddah. A bit of Hawaii in Mount Baker/Kenmore. Reminds me of Tinroof on Maui but it’s 3 times larger inside which makes dining here much more pleasant…even...

                        Philadelphia

                          Headed home: Chickie’s & Pete’s. Located near Concourse D at PHL, it’s a good place to grab a bite instead of  airplane food. Serve breakfast, lunch and diner so you...

                          Philadelphia

                            Must experience: Morimoto. Usually it’s difficult to tell much about a restaurant when you’re in a group. But, shared plates make the experience more like couples dining together rather than...

                            Birmingham AL

                              Stupendous seafood: Automatic Seafood & Oysters. It’s much bigger inside than it looks from the outside but a reservation is recommended on weekend nights. While the space has high ceilings…it...
