Lost Restaurants of Seattle
An expert in Americana explores the legendary eateries of Seattle’s past, from culinary pioneers to neighborhood haunts, roadside diners, and more.
From the nineteenth century to today, Seattle has been home to some of the finest oyster houses, dining rooms, and lunch counters in America. It has seen them come and, in many cases, watched them go. In Lost Restaurants of Seattle, author Chuck Flood celebrates nearly a thousand of Seattle's vanished eateries, along with a few resilient survivors.
Exploring their cuisines and recipes, Flood tells of how Manca's Café invented the irresistible Dutch Baby pancake, while Trader Vic's gained reverence for its legendary Mai Tais. And with wonderful historic images, she shows why places like the railroad car–themed Andy's Diner and the Twin T-P's with its iconic wigwam-shaped dining rooms live on in the city's culinary memory long after their departure.
