The 13 Best Restaurants In America - The Infatuation
"This small counter in Seattle is more than a 10-course dinner inspired by the owners’ Filipino heritage. It’s a billboard for the Pacific Northwest and a meal that should be required by law for every resident. Each dish represents a part of history that connects our city to Filipino culture, and Archipelago only uses ingredients exclusively sourced throughout the region. That means you’ll get plates like tart vinegar-cured kinilaw with local ginger served on a sardine tin to shout out the cannery workers from Seattle, and the vibrant halo halo topped with “pineapple ice” (pineapple doesn’t grow here, so it’s pine plus apple). After two hours, you’ll walk away from Archipelago with a belly full of outstanding lechon and a newfound appreciation for both Filipino food and the surrounding PNW." - arden shore, team infatuation
