I love keeping track of my favorite eateries. Often they're in line with the suggestions you'll find on well-known foodie sites like Eater. Sometimes, I deviate.
First, you'll find my list of Colorado restaurants. Scroll down to find an outdated list of Seattle restaurants. I'm sure many of these restaurants are still fantastic, and there are undoubtedly many exciting new ones. I recommend checking out Eater for the latest.
