It’s hard not to love spring in Seattle, but for me it’s all the better because it means I get to work on—and deliver to you—our annual Voracious Dining Guide.This year’s guide has, of course, our favorite restaurants (up from 103 to 119 this year). You’ll also read about the new wave of pastry chefs who are breaking out on their own to create inventive pop-ups and standalone sweet shops, and about chefs who are turning the humble sandwich into a showstopper of a dish. We have your wine needs covered too, as our resident drink columnist and sommelier helps you make sense of increasingly challenging wine lists, so you can pick the perfect bottle (or glass pour) for your meal. Enjoy!
