Blackboard Does Brunch; Bastille Does Mussels; Pizza News

WEST SEATTLE—Starting September 24, chef Jacob Wiegner's Blackboard Bistro is swapping weekday lunch service for weekend brunch. The menu includes basics like brown sugar baked oatmeal, more involved fare like a corned beef and sweet potato hash, and a slider of the day. Brunch runs from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. [EaterWire]

BALLARD—Fall means a new season of weekly dinners, special menus, etc. So here's one: Bastille is bringing back its Monday night mussels as of September 26. The preparation changes weekly for the $14 bowls, but it's available every Monday throughout the restaurant. Of note: the mussels are from bivalve darling Taylor Shellfish Farms. [EaterWire].

MERCER ISLAND—Chris Werner says local chainlet Zaw (which just opened a new Wallingford location) is expanding outside the city limits. Namely, to Mercer Island. The take-and-bake pizza shop is hoping to open in late October in Tabit Village Square. [Seattle Met]

CAPITOL HILL—Now it's Jess Voelker bringing the pizza news: Capitol Hill New York-style pizzeria Big Mario's starts delivering September 19. That's Monday. And if you order on a Thursday, it will be delivered by Big Mario himself, a promise which begs images of unfortunate male strippers, but sounds cool nonetheless. [Seattle Met]
