"The Butcher’s Table is a South Lake Union steakhouse with some very important beef fat fries—think of them like rectangular hashbrowns deep-fried in tallow. These stunning little potato-based Lincoln Logs support the excellent steaks at this upscale restaurant that can be used for a splurgy dinner or even a lunch break at the bar. Though the dining room feels nice with antique leather barstools and statement-piece light fixtures, it’s still relaxed enough to show up in jeans. The restaurant is also owned by the Beecher’s team—order the mac and cheese with confidence." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
