According to Jonathan Kauffman who gave Serious Pie the number one slot. Here’s the article from Seattle Weekly. Kauffman says: “The bubbles in (Gwen’s) oval pies are so inflated you’re surprised the pizza’s not hovering an inch off the plate.” Well, we’re pretty proud of that! Kudos to head bread baker Gwen LeBlanc and the whole amazing Serious Pie crew!
Nice interview with Tom by Jennifer Heigl on Daily Blender. Read it here.
Tom was featured in a conversation with Kathleen Flinn, author of The Sharper Your Knife the Less you Cry, at a “Food for Thought” event at Bumbershoot on Saturday. Kathleen chatted with Tom in front of “a packed audience of fans”; you can read Kathleen’s comments about the discussion here.
Here’s a video of Tom cooking up some sake steamed salmon on Q13 TV yesterday. The video also gives you a chance to check out several items from the Tom Douglas by Pinzon line, such as the wok, bamboo steamer, fish spatula, tweezer, knives, and the best super-sharp peeler!
This is not a photo of our dougnuts, but if you want to see Lola Chef Brock and Pastry Chef Garrett making the doughnuts we serve both at Dahlia Lounge and at Lola (for breakfast and brunch) on a Food Network show called “The Best Thing I Ever Ate,” check out the link here. (Oh, yeah, you’ll see Giada DeLaurentis in the video, too.)
If you missed this segment, which was aired at 8am this morning on King 5, check out the link here. The little girl, Cora, is the daughter of one of our Summer Campers. Cora attended our first kids’ cooking class- Hamburgers. Be sure to watch the video to the end so you catch Tom dancing!
The Best of the City 2009 article in the July issue of Seattle Metropolitan Magazine (scroll down until you find it on the link) includes Lola’s Moroccan Tagine, described as “extraordinary,” especially “the one with moist strands of goat meat simmering in a sticky braise of dates and caramelized shallots.” Congrats to Chef Brock Johnson and the whole Lola team!
Serious Pie featured in Food and Wine Magazine’s Seattle City guide. Check it out here.
Tom handily catches ground ball pitched by Ciscoe Morris (local garden expert, journalist, and radio personality) for the “first pitch” of last night’s Mariners’ baseball game at Safeco Field. Unfortunately, events went downhill after that, as the Mariners lost to the Tampa Bay Rays 9 to 3. On the upside, we enjoyed the “Mojo Special” of hot dog, chips and soft drink for only 5 bucks!

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.
