Filet Mignon at Canlis: Canlis has been preparing an excellent filet mignon for a long time, and it’s still something to be celebrated. The dainty cut is complemented with Yukon gold potatoes, caramelized onions, and shiitake mushrooms.

Five-Spice Duck at Dahlia Lounge: The generous portions of rotisserie-cooked duck – with crisped skin and tender meat – are legendary in their own right. The five-spice sauce, though, with its blend of zest and sweetness, helps elevate this dish into the stratosphere.

Burgers at Dick’s Drive-In: For little more than your leftover bus money, Dick’s will instantly produce a burger that was already legendary before Macklemore immortalized the chain in his White Walls music video. The classic, no-frills burger with 1/8 pound grilled patty tastes best after a night of drinking.

Pork Katsu Sandwich at Marination Ma Kai: A Macrina ciabatta roll cups this delightfully messy breaded pork katsu, topped with coleslaw and thick, complex tonkatsu sauce.

The Prime Porterhouse at Metropolitan Grill: Sourced from Washington State's Double R Ranch, Met Grill's classic porterhouse is packed with flavor and served in one of the most classic dining rooms in the city.

Wild Boar Sloppy Joe at Quinn’s Pub: This twist on a classic sloppy joe is crammed with juicy boar, topped with slender fried onions and sage leaves, and made deliciously messy with a gooey duck egg.

Fried Rabbit Saddle at Roux: The dish sits unassumingly on the “small plates” section of the menu, but it’s become a fast favorite. Two pieces of lightly breaded rabbit sit atop lemony potato salad for a simple dish that you should probably order two of.

Lamb Popsicle at Shanik: Shanik’s widely-heralded arrival in Seattle has lived up to the hype, especially when it comes to the famous lamb popsicles. Perfectly-cooked lamb is encrusted in a beautiful array of spices, all of which sits atop a mash of split peas and spinach and a coconut curry.

Swinery Spectacularrr at The Swinery: Locally-sourced meat features on this enormous sandwich that combines pulled pork, sliced ham, and crispy pork belly on Macrina’s lovely brioche bun.
