Although lately you can find Jordan behind the bar of Tacoma hot spot The Mix, his face may be more familiar than you realize. Think: MLKBallet, Tempest Lounge, and 1022’s South predecessor — The Monsoon Room. Gunderson seems to have become a staple to the downtown scene, so seeing him

So naïve I was, back in 1996. Fresh from under a large wheel of Texas tumbleweed, I had never even heard of a clam, much less eaten one. (And no, I’m not talking about eating a bearded clam, perverts.) Gooey, raw, and freshly shucked oysters from the Gulf of Mexico

Nestled in Tacoma’s North End stands an old converted gas station that now houses prime cuts of steak, fresh-from-the-boat fish, and ready-to-bake meals made by the men at Dave’s Meats & Produce. Also housed within this family-friendly, open-air market are frozen take-home dinners from local restaurants, beautiful produce, and a

It’s been an ongoing deliberation over whether or not lounges in Mexican restaurants could be considered “dives.” The deliberation has mainly taken place in my own head, between my right brain and my left brain. I argue with myself every time I pass by any sort of La Palma, El

Sharing a space with Phantom Records, Dumpster Values holds a plethora of hand-me-downs ranging from the most eclectic (I tried on a purple glittered vest), to the simplest (kid’s clothes), which I did not try on. One-dollar bins are filled with goodies and all proceeds go to buying books for

Salad There’s no messing around and covering up the fact that you’re eating raw fish when it comes to Sapporo Japanese & Sushi Restaurant’s Poki Salad ($16.99). They lay it all on the line with bite-sized, yet substantial chunks of tuna, white tuna, and salmon. The cold, fresh fish trifecta is

When the important question begs, “Where’d you get your body from?” the most obvious, and of course intellectual, answer would be, “Got it from my mama!” Trust me. I know this because Will I Am told me (very loudly) as I entered the door’s of Lakewood’s Green Pup Sports Bar

You’re not going to believe this, but I met James Wellings in a bar. Shocking, right? It’s hard to avoid the downtown Olympia crowd as I stroll down Fourth Avenue, the best street located in this state’s capitol city. Eventually I run into the same faces at each venue I

They say that beer is the breakfast of champions. If that’s the case, then give me a gold medal and slap my picture on a box of Wheaties, because I rocked both breakfast AND beer at The Chieftain on South Tacoma Way. A reader board that I’m sure hasn’t been

Apparently word has gotten out about how much talent is all up in the South Puget Sound. Rumor has it we have great live music, talented performers, and one helluva attitude to back it up. As I walk down the street, I see talent gushing out of every open crack

Recent Trouble with DeRosa victim Daniel Furrer from Archibald Sisters in Olympia had given me a heads-up about the spiciness of Chopsticks Noodle House’s dishes. Thrilled, off I went. There were three items on the menu with a picture of a cute little red chili next to the names. This was
