Seattle is playing second city today with its exploration of fads and favorites already discovered by its competition in New York and St. Louis and... everywhere. But at least they have luscious photos. (And alliteration. Food is fun!)

Ever had a sample at Costco? Providence Cicero explores the hairnetted hawkers and discovers that "savvy sellers are enticing buyers by going straight to their taste buds."
Make macaroni and cheese. Try it blue, cajun, or "trashy," with pickled jalapenos (making this for my hubby now...)
Turnips: if you try 'em, maybe you'll like 'em.
This week, Nicole Tsong and Pamela Sitt sip the Champs-Elysees cocktail at the Place Pigalle in Pike Place Market. It's made with brandy, yellow chartreuse, bitters, lemon juice and simple syrup.
