Iconic cheesemonger offering award-winning mac & cheese & sandwiches
"A satellite of the quintessential Pike Place cheesemaker offering the namesake cheeses plus the famous mac and cheese, hot breakfast items, and grilled sandwiches. Also stocks a small grab-and-go freezer with Salt & Straw ice cream." - Harry Cheadle
"Beecher’s is a factory operation that serves incredible mac and cheese as well as grilled cheese sandwiches that are so good you couldn’t possibly make them at home. Sneaking in and grabbing a free cube of their flagship cheddar is a Seattle rite of passage, but buying a bowl of cheesy penne is the law. Don’t break the law." - aimee rizzo
"Bar snacks are treated with the reverence they deserve at Seattle’s Dark Room. The pièce de resistance: kimchi pimento cheese dip. Replace jarred pimentos with kimchi and no-name cheddar with Seattle’s own Beecher’s Flagship, and the result is genius. Swipe it all on a Ritz cracker and don’t look back." - team infatuation, bryan kim, brant cox, veda kilaru, julia chen 1, mariana trabanino, kayla sager riley, alison kessler, megan braden perry, jacinta howard, chelsea thomas, nicolai mccrary
"Keep in mind that coming to Beecher’s for lunch requires standing in a line full of tourists sampling curds, pressing their faces to the glass window where workers are stirring curds, and talking very loudly about curds. But at the end of that line is glorious mac and cheese penne that Oprah once named one of her favorite things. You’ll want a cup of that. Just save some room, because nothing’s better here than the grilled smoked turkey and flagship cheddar sandwich. It’s perfectly toasted, with those crispy cheese bits that stick to the bread when it gets caught in the panini press, and you need to eat it at least once." - aimee rizzo
"This is one of Oprah’s favorite things for a reason. And that reason is, when you swirl the greatest cheddar and jack in the history of existence with a kick of cayenne into cream sauce and toss some pasta in there, it’s almost impossible not to love. Yes, the recipe is available online. And yes, you could also easily buy a frozen tray of the stuff at Costco to pop in your oven. But the purest (and best) way to experience this iconic penne is by grabbing it fresh from the source at their Pike Place shop for takeout." - aimee rizzo
