Cooking class recommendations - Seattle
Well, Culinary Communion is out of business so that is no longer an option. You can check out Dish it Up! (www.dish-it-up.com) as their course offerings change a lot, and they now have two locations so have more classes.
Most seattlest restuarant?!
Ah, yes, crabfest on Sundays at Anthony's. Just know that the Anthony's on the downtown Seattle waterfront does not have it -- you have to go to one of the other Anthony's restaurants.
And the Oyster Happy Hour at Elliott's is my go-to place. They even have Guinness on tap :) in addition to lots of local beers and a slew of rums.

I'll second the Culinary Communion recommendation. I've learned a lot, and love that it's all hands on. I've run into a number of couples taking the classes together, and they have some for couples only, too.

If you go to Ballard for dinner, check out Volterra. If you can get away at 3pm on a weekday, head down to Elliott's Oyster House on the waterfront for their "Oyster Happy Hour" where oysters start at 50 cents each at 3pm and goup 20 cents each half hour. Yummm.
Good lunch/interview place near Pike Place Market
Agree with all the previous suggestions, and also suggest you try 94 Stewart. They have a killer mac and cheese, and Chef usually has several other veggie options. Nice and quiet.

Chef gave me a sample of the fried smelts today, and boy were they great. Light and crispy. I tried the roast pork sandwich and loved it. And I happen to really like the fries, I am sick of all those "hand-cut" fries that are not cooked all the way through. I think Chef makes pretty much everything else -- has the bread made to his specifications, and those sandwich rolls are sooooooo good.
