Vietnamese Steakhouse Seven Beef Is Becoming Central Smoke | Eater Seattle

"A grand Vietnamese steakhouse in the Central District from Eric and Sophie Banh (Monsoon,Ba Bar), Seven Beef opened in October 2015 and focused on high-quality cuts of grass-fed, dry-aged Washington steak and a modern interpretation of bò 7 món. They source whole, grass-fed and grass-finished cows from Heritage Meats in Rochester, Washington, and dry-age and cut all of their beef in-house. I learned via a post by Brandon Addicks in the closed Facebook group “WA State Bartender’s Community” that the restaurant is changing its name to Central Smoke and shifting its focus to smoke-heavy cocktails, with a call for experienced bartenders to “get in on the ground floor of an incredibly dynamic new bar program” immediately; few additional details are available about timing or what it might mean for the food menu, and the company has not posted an official announcement nor responded to requests for comment." - Megan Hill
