2011 Eater Seattle Empire Builder of the Year Laura Olson and her partner Chris Pardo are at it again. They tell Seattle Magazine's Allison Austin Scheff that the previously announced Ballard Po Dog location will house a nightclub, a speakeasy-type lounge, and a new small plates Scandinavian restaurant, Queen of Norway. The restaurant's name is inspired by Pardo's grandmother, who once held the title “Queen of Norway” in a Ballard parade. [Seattle Magazine]
