"It’s sorta ridiculous to say that Loulay is overlooked, since it’s the brainchild of Thierry Rautureau, one of Seattle’s most celebrated chefs of all time. But it seems like no one ever talks about this place (anymore?) and that’s a shame. Rautureau’s thing is taking American standards and instilling them with his general francité, which results in dishes like roasted chicken with bacon lardons and Parisian gnocchi, Dungeness crab beignets, or a très français cheeseburger with bacon-onion jam, comté cheese, and butter lettuce (and an option to add foie gras)." - Meg van Huygen
