Tick tock…Seattle Restaurant Week is in full swing and lucky folks we are, the rest of the month still offers plenty of time to get in on some of these fabulous meals. Here is the link to see choices and make your plans. Click on the restaurant’s name and you will see the menu of special fare, and the specific days and time slots honored by each location on the SRW deals, which differ for each location in the grid. Within Edmonds, for example, Sunday evenings vary quite a bit.
Reservations for our Bar Dojo dinner made us a bit giddy. For the first time in over a year, we’d sit at a table, with china and silverware, and deploy chopsticks that were not wrapped in crinkly paper. Choices for this spring’s event activated salivary glands and reading the item descriptions as we checked off the boxes on the screen of the computer heightened the anticipation.

Every April in Seattle is Seattle Restaurant Week, where hundreds of the city’s restaurants offer special three-course menus, at set prices, to lure diners in. But this week is Black Restaurant Week, a marketing campaign created to encourage people to eat in Black-owned restaurants.
“It started in Houston in 2016,” said co-founder Falayn Ferrell. “We have a really robust Houston Restaurant Week, but a lot of the businesses in our community didn’t really fit that model. They don’t have the fine dining, three course, so we wanted to create a platform to really showcase and let the businesses in our community shine. Just to bring awareness, celebrate the food, the heritage.”
