"This adorable craftsman in Madrona has been holding down the fort in this category for years. And sure, you could give the in-house cheesemonger free rein to go nuts on a plank. But there’s no need to choke down Époisses De Bourgogne for dinner. On the full plates section, you can score a $32 steak, $16 crock of mac and cheese, or even some $23 risotto (add Dungeness crab for $9, you wild little minx). And since you’re here for serious wine too, order a taste or a glass." - aimee rizzo
