Giddy Up Burger Opens; Suncadia's Crab Feed

BALLARD— Giddy Up Burgers & Greens opened yesterday in a completely redone convenience store. The "family-oriented" restaurant includes something rarely in new restaurants, at least in Seattle: a salad bar. [Facebook]

OUT OF TOWN—Suncadia Resort in Cle Elum hosts its fifth annual Crab Feed this Saturday. The $125 event includes more crab than you can handle: crab cakes, snow crab cocktail, corn and Dungeness crab chowder, and a crab boil. Call 509-649-6473 for reservations. [EaterWire]

DOWNTOWN— Bottega Italiana hired on New York transplant Tiernan Gillan as chef and managing partner of its Seattle store. Fresh from stints at an artisan soda company and bakery Bien Cuit in Brooklyn, Gillan is introducing hops, herbs, and foraged ingredients into some new gelato recipes. [EaterWire]
