CHEF SHUFFLES—Laura Pyles has left her post as pastry chef at Book Bindery, saying she wanted to spend more time with her family. Pyles came over from Bastille in April. Book Bindery owner Sumi Almquist says chef Shaun McCrain has once again assumed responsibility for the dessert menu. [EaterWire]

BELLTOWN—Chris Werner asks Coterie Room chefs Brian McCracken and Dana Tough (awesomely referred to as McT) to break down the making of the restaurant's decadent, highly newfangled, poutine. The results are the written word equivalent of food porn. [Seattle Met]

BEER WIRE—Tickets are now on sale for BitterSweet:Beer+Chocolate, a pairing event that also includes special beer from eight local breweries produced with Theo Chocolate. This beer-chocolate action is a benefit for FamilyWorks agoes down November 10. [EaterWire]
