Well, since I both like mussels and curry, I scooped that up in about half a second. Taylor Shellfish has quite a five generations of history in Washington State's shellfish business. They're a big company with over 500 employees and an awesome website from which you can order pretty much anything related to things that swim or creep around the ocean. The 3.5-ounce tin of Curried Mussels was priced at $12 and full of plenty of plump and tender mussels in a delicate curried oil. I just tossed them into a bowl of cooked pasta for a quick and fantastic dinner. Definitely a fan!

Generous portions and toppings, and the savory broth is rich and comforting…read more My relatives wanted to show me one of the best restaurants in their town so I could confirm whether this spot is actually good in general or just for the area, which has slim pickings in terms of good eats. I'm happy to say this joint is actually legit! I could see this restaurant thriving in Southern California as well. In fact, very few spots in SoCal offer so many toppings on a ~$16 ramen bowl. It's the norm to pay extra for bamboo and other veggies (and sometimes even spice), which Zen auto-includes in many of their offerings. Our takeout orders were packaged efficiently. I like how it's basically like an instant bowl ramen format, where the soup is in a bowl already, and the noodles and toppings are in a separate container above the soup. So you'd just need to pour the latter into the former to enjoy. My only criticism is that the spicy tonkotsu wasn't very spicy at all. If you told me there was zero spice in it, I'd believe you. But my spice tolerance is quite high, to be fair. Still, I'd def smash another bowl given the chance.

We went to High Steel Beer Company in Shelton last night for dinner for Ingrid's birthday…read more The food was fantastic and the service was really good. They brought out a small chalkboard sign wishing her happy birthday. They also gave her a generous slice of really delicious cake. I tried their Climber Burger which has pepper jelly and peanut butter on it (and bacon!). The thought of peanut butter and jelly on a hamburger seemed odd, but a friend told me that it was really good so I thought I would give it a try. It was delicious! The pepper jelly gives it a little bit of spiciness and the peanut butter blends in with the other flavors better than you might think. They donate a portion of the proceeds from the sale of that burger to a local culinary program, which is very cool. I had some dipping tots, which were nice and crispy and apple cole slaw. It's a fun place with a small arcade for the kids and a virtual golf room for the bigger kids. Give them a try if you're in the area! I should have taken some pictures, but the food was so appetizing that it slipped my mind.

Just stopped in for lunch after driving by a dozen times. Ambiance fun and inviting, very kid…read morefriendly. Service personable and attentive. Menu offers a variety of good eats, great wings according to my husband the connoisseur. Daughter had the bacon blue burger, said it was the best she ever had. Great lager that has the look of an amber with a smooth finish. We will be back to our new favorite find!
