Seattle

Diners arriving in Seattle always ask: Where are the good seafood restaurants? Here, salmon, cod, geoduck, and oysters are too essential to cordon off into only a few dedicated restaurants. Seattle’s proximity to the ocean, farmlands, and forage-ready woods mean seasonal menus might evolve with each passing week. The city is also known for its culture of bread made with locally grown grains, a love of pho that dates back to the influx of Vietnamese refugees in the 1970s, its own style of teriyaki, and a formidable network of sushi counters thanks to its perch on the Pacific Rim.
