Look at the beautiful new red-laquered bento box from Dahlia lunch service! These boxes just arrived; we were using regular plates for the bento before this. When you order the bento box at lunch you get: grilled prawns, teriyaki beef, sticky rice, pickles, miso soup, and salad. It’s a steal at $13!
RSS SubscribeWelcome to Family Meal, a blog that examines all things new and noteworthy in the world of food, wine, and dining.
At family meal, otherwise known as staff meal, there’s no hierarchy; you’re breaking bread with your friends. For those 30 minutes, everyone is equal- and hungry. Family meal is our version of the water cooler- but with better food.
I’ll be sharing my thoughts, tips, and observations, and, in the spirit of family meal, I’ve invited our creative, energetic staff- everyone from line cook to bartender to bookkeeper- to have a say. I hope you’ll add your own comments and join in the conversation.

Hi John,
Do you live in Seattle or Bellevue? Uwajimaya has a big selection of Bento Boxes. I’ll try to find out where we get these, but they’re probably only sold in volume.

Groovy (to use an even more dated expression). I’m a bento fanatic, and am sooo excited to see them coming from a TDR — lots of yummy fusion potential, in gorgeous packaging. What’s not to love?

Has anyone gone to the Cutting Board? They have huge selection of Bento items on their menu. It looks delicious.
