Chef Maria Hines Wants to Make a Better Energy Bar | Eater Seattle

"After 14 years, Maria Hines permanently closed her trailblazing Wallingford restaurant in October 2020; the decision was excruciating, but the James Beard Award–winning chef said she’s content to step back from the restaurant industry and pursue new projects that unite her passions for great food and the outdoors, including making energy bars. Tilth was known as an organic food landmark tied to Hines’s reputation, and its closure reflects her shift away from brick-and-mortar service toward digital and outdoor-focused work." - Gabe Guarente
