Meat Moot Seattle

High-End Halal Chain Meat Moot Is Coming to Seattle | Eater Seattle

"A 3,200-square-foot "West Coast flagship" will open in August on the corner of Fairview Avenue and Republican Street, says spokesperson Pria Dalrymple, offering an "upscale" menu of smoked lamb and beef, plus rice and side salads. The concept centers on meats that are slowly smoked on wood and then chopped and seasoned by line chefs who perform made-for-Instagram flourishes with knives and blowtorches (they got training at the Chicago location, says Dalrymple). Cuts of lamb and beef are listed at about $47 a pound on the restaurant's Seattle menu. The operation is entirely halal — no pork and no alcohol — and Dalrymple says "there will be a bar with nonalcoholic drinks," noting that a growing number of diners seem to prefer nonalcoholic options over cocktails." - Harry Cheadle
