Mike's Chili Parlor, Red Mill on TV; El Gaucho's Pot Beef

BELLTOWN— Puget Sound Business Journal interviews steak-house prince-regent Chad Mackay of El Gaucho, who cries foul that you can have pot stores in Washington but can't smoke a cigar inside a restaurant. Because steaks and 'gars go together like, steak & eggs, steak & red wine, steak & potatoes, or because the state shut down El Gaucho's cigar room? [PSBJ]

CAPITOL HILL— The Capitol Hill Seattle blog has some nice photos and a recap of a "rogue farmers market" that was held in front of Seattle Central Community College on Sunday. [CHS]

BALLARD— Mike's Chili Parlor and Red Mill Totem House will be featured on the tv show United States of Bacon tomorrow night. And in good celebrity fashion, the former will be hosting a viewing party. [MyBallard]
