Another New Brunch; Booze at Taylor Shellfish; Lamb; Sliders

PHINNEY RIDGE—Hey-o, here's another new brunch arrival: PhinneyWood says that Phinney Market Pub & Eatery starts weekend brunch service tomorrow, as well as a daily happy hour. [PhinneyWood]

CAPITOL HILL—Word has it (well, Jess Voelker has it) that the liquor license for Taylor Shellfish Farms' Melrose Market shop is imminent. The wine and beer list will include a few picks from Pike Brewing. [Seattle Met]

SLIDER WIRE—Tan Vinh's listicle of the city's top 10 destinations for sliders was greeted warmly by Jess Voelker, who issues her own defense of the tiny sandwich dismissed by some food-trendsters as "Out like molten chocolate cake and cosmopolitans." [Seattle Times, Seattle Met]

NYC—Apparently Copperleaf chef Mark Bodinet knows his way around a lamb (you thought we were going to say "around a rack," didn't you?). Bodinet won the people's choice award at the Lamb Jam Masters in New York last weekend for his lamb shoulder confit. [EaterWire]
