  1. Where in Pennsylvania? ← I'm not sure. Their menu only states that it's flown in from Pennsylvania. I've done some poking around online, but can't find any obvious suppliers.
  2. We visited both during our vacation this past September. <a href="http://www.hukilaukauai.com/">Hukilau</a> was a great surprise. Our kayak tour guide was a local and suggested it to us. It's sort of hidden from the highway and we never would've found it otherwise. My husband had the Opah with orzo. He loved it. I snuck a bite and it was awesome. Very delicate and not overdone. We tried the Chevre salad and "Wally's salad" - both were excellent. Had the oozing warm chocolate cake for dinner. It was so-so - a bit overdone. Not as good as Roy's. I remember the ambience being pleasant. It's a little upscale but relaxed. The service was friendly and attentive. Water glasses were always full. Two thumbs up from both of us. We're going to remember this place for next year. We had high expectations for <A href="http://scottysbbq.com/introduction.htm">Scotty's</a> and we weren't dissapointed. First of all, the view from each table is amazing - you have an unobstructed view of a pretty beach front, lined with palm trees, with the ocean in behind. They have a retractable face to the building that they pull back when the weather is good (99% of the time) and you get the feel of being seated in open air. It's such a great spot, especially at dusk - the ocean looks electric in that light. We went for dinner here twice that week. The first night, we had the pulled pork sandwich and a full rack of St. Louis ribs. Both were nicely done, not dry at all. As sides, the corn bread and garlic bread leave a little to be desired. The corn bread was a little dry, the garlic bread was thick cut toast with little butter. They were gobbled up, regardless. The fries were nice and crisp, as well. No complaints there. For our second (and enthusiastic) visit a few nights later, we each had a full rack of ribs. This time they were a touch on the dry side and a little dissapointing. They were still very good, just not up to the standard that was set during the first visit. We had the Chocolate Coma cake for dessert. Boy, I could go for a slice of that right now. It's in my crosshairs for our next visit. Good stuff. Apparently, they fly it in from Pennsylvania. It was a two or three layer cake (memory is a bit foggy), nice rich chocolate flavor, chocolate buttercream with whipped cream accents. Not a hint of American Airlines or FedEx. They must ship those suckers over in a hurry. Anyway, hope that wasn't too long winded. These two places are at the top of my recommendations list for friends on vacation. Aloha
  3. Seeds Bistro and Bar is a nice place for lunch or dinner. The service is very good, atmosphere is casual-upscale. Steak and chicken, sandwiches, and a decent burger. It's housed in an old seed company building. 623 Morris Street in La Conner.
  4. Ina Garten's Lemon Cake - though you'll need to grab a few extra lemons. I gave this one a try yesterday. Very lemony and moist. <img src="http://forums.egullet.org/uploads/1138980219/gallery_42447_2484_14804.jpg"></img> <a href="http://www.leitesculinaria.com/recipes/cookbook/lemon_cake.html">Recipe here</a> if you'd like.
  5. The stretch between Woodinville and Snohomish is still technically "Seattle area", I hope... Up here, on Highway 9, there's a tiny little shop named "#1 NY Pizza". It's run by Tony and Relita, a retired couple from Queens. They make the best crisp chewy crust, nice and thin. It's outstanding and real NY style pizza. Calzones and egg creams, too. I really wish I had a photo to attach. Take a little trip out north some weekend and give them a shot. I don't think you'll be dissapointed. Here's a link to a decent <A HREF="http://maps.google.com/maps?sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=62.70117,79.628906&hl=en&q=%231+ny+pizza,+snohomish,+wa&latlng=47913056,-122096944,11282993126782940099">map</A>.
