There’s good coffee and pastry everywhere these days it feels. I just had some real great laminated pastry at Provision in Colorado Springs where Shepherd from Cinchona is doing a popup all month with some wildly good coffee. He also has a subscription service if you want interesting coffee delivered to your home.

Real good smash burgers at Brakeman’s in Colorado Springs. Thanks for the rec, airplane dude.

Easy top contender for best bagels in Seattle just opened. Hey Bagel in University Village. They’re phenomenal.

Today I went to Seattle’s Best Teriyaki & Pho (that’s the name of the restaurant, not my review of it) In Sodo in my ongoing quest to try every teriyaki shop in the city. #alltheteriyaki

Do these chips really taste like cucumber? I answer this riveting question and absolutely nothing else in this short, free video. What value!

Find the full video up on my @youtube channel (link in bio). This is an idea I originally saw from my friends Alex and Aki at @ideasinfood as well as from @fresheggsdaily. It’s a great technique and makes a ton of sense once you realize that cooked-down heavy cream is essentially butter with a higher concentration of milk solids for more intense brown butter flavor.

I’m going to every teriyaki spot in Seattle. Here’s #26: Yak’s Teriyaki in Sodo! It’s a good one. #alltheteriyaki

Y’all know this trick? I often boil a few eggs at a time and keep them in the fridge for the kids or for snacks. If I forget to mark them, here how I tell which are which.

Butter fried eggs.

I’m going to all the teriyaki shops in Seattle. Up next, Little Deli Mart in Georgetown. #alltheteriyaki

Making the best of a bad pizza.

Late night matcha toast with soft eggs and chili crisp, a play on the classic Singapore breakfast of Kaya toast with soft eggs.

At home, I’ve been testing out a steam-injected toaster oven from the Japanese company Balmuda. It produces easily the best toast I’ve ever made. By injecting the oven with steam at the start of the toasting process, then using intense radiant elements to brown the bread at the end, you end up with toast that is exceptionally moist on the inside and crisp on the outside. You can get the Balmuda toaster (and their other products) for 15% off until the end of March by ordering from https://us.BALMUDA.com and using the checkout code Kenji_15 Note that while I placed a tray on top of the toaster in the video, it is advised not to place anything on top for safety reasons!

Real eclectic menu but all of it tasty at Shuga’s in Colorado Springs. It’s like if Cheesecake Factory were a mom and pop that had people who actually cared and know what good food is.
