Acclaimed Crush Restaurant to Close August 28 08.17.15

Chef Jason Wilson Continues Culinary Innovation; Restaurant Space Becomes Culinary Test Lab

With over a decade of award-winning culinary and service recognition, Chef Jason Wilson along with wife and business partner Nicole Wilson announce the closure of CRUSH in Seattle’s Madison Valley. The move paves the way for Chef Wilson to pursue new restaurants, culinary projects and consultancy work. The 1903 Tudor home that houses CRUSH will transition from a fine dining restaurant to a culinary test lab for Coffee Flour, of which Chef Wilson is executive chef. Diners are invited to celebrate a restaurant legacy through the last night of CRUSH service on Aug. 28.

For 10 and a half years, the restaurant and Chef Wilson generated local and national awards, including Chef Wilson being honored as a Food & Wine “Best New Chef” and receiving the highly coveted James Beard Foundation Award “Best Chef Northwest.” Chef Wilson’s approach to Modern American Cuisine has helped put Seattle in the national culinary spotlight and his innovative techniques constantly push the culinary envelope.

The evolution of CRUSH propelled Chef Wilson’s career to many other projects outside the restaurant, including the opening of his second restaurant, Miller’s Guild, and the success of Chef Jason Wilson Catering. Chef Wilson also serves as executive chef for Coffee Flour, a product created through a pioneering process that converts the surrounding fruit of the coffee bean into a nutrient-dense new super-ingredient. The innovation that has been a hallmark of his culinary career will continue with the announcement of a new restaurant in 2015 as well as his chef consultancy business, which has included such companies as Google, Seattle Chocolates, SousVide Supreme, Vitamix, and Alaska Marine Stewardship Council, among others.

“Nicole and I, along with our staff and guests, are celebrating a restaurant that has been our heart and soul for over a decade. We’re humbled by the recognition over the years and are fortunate to have the support of the dining public through thick and thin. We are thrilled to end the CRUSH phase of our careers on a beautiful high note and to expand with the Coffee Flour Lab and other exciting projects to come,” said Chef Wilson.

CRUSH will continue to offer a daily a la carte menu and tasting menu that pays respect to the seasons as well as signature items including Beef Short Ribs, Seared Foie Gras, Bacon n’ Eggs, Octopus A La Plancha and more. Guests are encouraged to make reservations before final service on Aug. 28.

CRUSH is open Wednesday-Sunday, 5:30-10 pm. The restaurant is located at 2319 East Madison Street, Seattle. For reservations, visit chefjasonwilson.com or call 206.30.CRUSH (27874).

It’s 5 O’clock Somewhere: Best Happy Hours in Seattle! 07.30.14

Finally, the Seattle sun is out and there is no better time to catch up with friends or unwind after a long day of work than by enjoying a warm Seattle evening. Seattle is a haven for great happy hours and delectable bites, but which direction should you head next time you’re looking for those worthwhile deals? We’ve compiled a list of our favorite summertime spots to enjoy delicious eats and a refreshing sip… or two!

Cafe Flora

Cafe Flora, voted “Best Vegetarian Restaurant of 2014” by Seattle Magazine and “Best Vegetarian Restaurant in the US” by Travel + Leisure, offers beverage specials Monday through Friday, 3-6 p.m. Enjoy a local draft beer for only $3, or selected Washington wine or rotating craft cocktail specials for $6. Pair your drink with small plates or entrees off the dinner menu. Favorite late summer dishes include heirloom tomato panzanella salad, grilled focaccia, heirloom tomatoes, fresh basil, spinach, grilled sweet corn, cucumbers, red onion, fresh mozzarella, dill vinaigrette; plum pistachio pizza, pistachio pesto, plums, ricotta cheese, fresh arugula; pate platter, with lentil-pecan pate, red onion confit, olives, pickles, croccantini, fresh fruit; and zucchini fritters, with parmesan cheese and chives.

Fonté Café

Just getting off work downtown? Head over to Fonté Café on First Avenue any day from 3-6 p.m. to enjoy their latest happy hour menu! For just $7 or less, feast on a menu of European café fare, including Arancini with parmesan and arrabiata; housemade Meatballs with beef, pork, pine nuts, tomato sauce, house brioche; and Pappardelle Bolognese, made from housemade pasta, beef, pork and veal. In addition to European bites and signature coffee roasting, Fonté Café also offers hand-selected and carefully crafted drinks at the wine bar. Satisfy those sweet java cravings with the signature Espresso Martini with vodka, orange curacao, crème de cocoa, cream, sugar and Fonte’s own fresh espresso beans, roasted right in Georgetown. A thoughtfully curated list of summer wines featuring red, white, rose and bubbles as well as draft beers, and well drinks, are only $5 during happy hour.

Maria Hines Restaurants
It pays to be green, especially when it comes to organic foods at happy hour! If you’re looking for nourishing, organic, and sustainable meal options, visit one of Maria Hines’ restaurants, all organically certified by Oregon Tilth, an unaffiliated organization that promotes sustainability. Happy hour meals and drink items at Maria Hines Restaurants are all priced at an agreeable $8 or less.

Agrodolce

Located right in the heart of Seattle’s lively Fremont neighborhood, Agrodolce offers up some of Seattle’s finest Southern Italian and Sicilian cuisine. Stop by for happy hour daily, from 4-6 p.m. and indulge in the grass fed Mini Lamb Burger, with Dijon mustard, mostarda, and polenta fries; Crispy Sunchokes, with tuna tonnato and bacon salt; and the light and refreshing Arugula and Watercress, served with grana padano, Meyer lemon, and almond. Viva Italia, all while enjoying a certified organic meal in the bar or on the patio just off Fremont Ave.

Golden Beetle

Golden Beetle in Ballard serves delicious Eastern Mediterranean cuisine, and the happy hour menu is nothing short of divine. Served from 4:30-6:30 p.m. daily and all night in the bar and on the patio Sunday-Thursday, you’ll make Golden Beetle part of your weekly (or daily) regimen! The cocktail specials are out of this world. Sip on a Beetle Bug, not an actual bug, but a sweet, fruity concoction fashioned with vodka, fruit puree, lemon, and soda water; or on the contrary, taste the zesty flavors of the Charmoula Cocktail, made with cava, lemon, and charmoula syrup. Pair your beverage with savory food, such as the popular Fire & Honey Chicken Wings, the award-winning Spiced French Fries (fried in beef fat) or the Mini Vegetable Pizza with sunchoke puree and mama lil’s peppers. Towards the end of your meal, mix it up and grab dessert because you deserve it! Swoon over the Spiced Donuts, with honey syrup, cardamom, and cinnamon, for only $4.

Tilth

Enjoy organic new American cuisine from Tilth’s brand new summer happy hour menu, served daily from 4:30-6:30 p.m. Never offered before, this new happy hour menu brings flavorful and appetizing French Breakfast Radishes, with tarragon butter and San Juan sea salt; or the famed Mini Duck Burger, with housemade ketchup, fingerling potato, and mustard. Indulge in organic and sustainable Steak Tartare with grilled romaine, and French breakfast radish. You can even take your happy hour outside and enjoy a refreshing summer cocktail out on the garden patio. Sip on the refreshing Pimm’s Cup, Lillet Sparkler, or Lavender Daiquiri, just to name a few. Happy hour menu changes monthly.

Shanik

Head over to Seattle Mag’s “Best Indian Restaurant of 2014,” Shanik, in South Lake Union, for a happy hour comprised of modern Indian bites. Shanik’s recently installed patio provides the perfect opportunity to relax outdoors and indulge in unique and flavor-filled menu items for only $5 each. Offered Monday through Friday from 4-5:30 p.m., snack on the delicious menu of Spiced Mogo Fries, with creamy fenugreek and garlic dip; Papri-Chaat, with sprouted lentils and chutney; and Spice Encrusted Lamb Popsicle (pura) with chutneys! Perfect for the warm weather we’ve been having– cool down with a draft beer, featured wine or cocktail, also for only $5. Enjoy Shanik’s appetizing happy hour out on the new patio, or inside at the bar.

Nothing says happy hour like a Seattle summer. After a long day of work, take a moment to relax at any one of our favorites places across Seattle: Cafe Flora, Fonté Café, Agrodolce, Golden Beetle, Tilth, or Shanik! Each restaurant provides their own unique happy hour experience coupled with flavorful bites, sips, and unbeatable prices.
