This week, host Brandi Fullwood spoke to Seattle Times food critic Tan Vinh about which new openings deserve the hype – and Tan makes his case for trying something new in this city.

Discussed in this episode:

• A Pioneer Square bistro with deliciously tender lamb ribs 
• The chicken shop worth standing in line for
• And why people won’t, but should, try new things in Ballard like a tagine packed with prunes
