For those of you looking for early excuses to blame a Super Bowl loss on if it indeed happens – look no further than the controversy surrounding the deflated balls of the Patriots. I’m talking footballs here so keep your mind out of the gutter. Seattle-area restaurants are already capitalizing on the notion of deflation as a new sensation and Redmond’s Spazzo Italian Grill leads the charge by ‘deflating’ their meatball. The flattening of meaty balls continues through February 1st for $12 a plate.
If you want to watch the game at home but still dine in fine style then check out John Howie’s Ultimate Super Bowl Package which includes true Japanese Wagyu, lobster, ahi, black truffles, caviar, great wine and champagne. Howie is also offering up take-out specials for four through Seastar which includes sushi platters, hot Dungeness crab dip and Wagyu meatballs. Orders can be made by calling Seastar at 425-456-0010 or John Howie Steak at 425-440-0880, and the last day to order is January 29, 2015. 10% of all proceeds to Strong Against Cancer with Team Captain Russell Wilson, as they fight to cure childhood cancer through Ben Towne Center for Childhood Cancer Research.
In more 12th man capitalism we find that Theo Chocolates is offering their very own commemorative chocolate-covered Super Bowl treats beginning on Wednesday, January 28th in their retail store. Featured items are all under $10 and include 12th Man Beast Mode Bites (Peanut Butter Big Daddy confections with 12’s drawn on top) as well as chocolate-drizzled potato chips, pretzels and kettle corn. Theo will also be giving away a gigantic molded 2D Seahawks football helmet via a contest on their social media channels next week!
And finally we come to the Sunday dinner series at Tavolata which explores Lombardy on February 8th. For $55 you’ll get to choose from dishes inspired by the region such as Vitello Tonnato Bruschetta, Tortelli di Zucca, and Vitello Cotoletta. Seating is limited to 26 and dinner begins promptly at 6 p.m – reservations are required and can be made by calling 206.838.8008.
