These are strange times for the Seattle restaurant scene, to say the least. As diners increasingly opt to stay home, many restaurants are struggling to stay in business, closing temporarily or permanently or advertising delivery and pick-up services. Culinary juggernaut Tom Douglas has temporarily closed 12 of his restaurants. Still, a few bright spots remain amidst the slew of closures and cancellations: This week, Milkie Milkie brings Korean desserts to Chinatown-International District, Taku brings Osaka-style skewers to Capitol Hill, and Canlis announces a savvy pivot to new dining concepts to address the current changes. Plus, Kristi Brown of That Brown Girl Cooks! has a new restaurant opening on the horizon. Read on for this week’s food updates.
