This week, host Brandi Fullwood talks to Aaron Tekulve, the chef and owner of Surrell in Madison Valley. They get into what it's like to be a James Beard finalist (apparently it means a lot more microgreens at your door) and where he goes to eat on his day off. Hint: kid friendly, by the water, and there are plenty of cheesy chips.

How to order at this go-to spot:
Basket of chips, crispy, light, and just the right amount of salt
Not-so-spicy salsa
Queso with bacon and grilled green peppers
Fried Prawn with a mango mojo
Optional but highly encouraged: the best flan and margaritas

Sandwiches are going viral in Seattle. Where are the best ones?

Hot dog! The NYT Wirecutter team made it bracket-official and crowned the Seattle dog best in America. The signature late night street food knocked out every other style in a head-to-head battle (yes, including Chicago and NYC). But how did the best hot dog in America get its cream cheese? We dig into the KUOW archives to tell you the origin story of the Seattle Dog.
