    Long time Woodinville resident Adam Gold opens Gobble Restaurant in downtown Woodinville later this month.  Gobble is a moderately priced, casual, quick service establishment serving turkey-based comfort food with a kick. Prepared fresh, from scratch daily, menu items include a Signature Slow Roasted Turkey Dinner Platter with all the fixings, Turkey Meat Loaf and Gravy, Gooey Turkey Lasagna and Killer Turkey Chili, as well as made-to-order hand-carved sandwiches and fresh-from-the-garden salads.  A wide array of sides, beverages and freshly made home-style dessert specialties will also be available.

    Whole Foster Farms birds roasted on-site daily are the centerpiece of a preparation counter where customers order from the turkey-centric menu illuminated above their heads. Watching as their meal is prepared, they move down the line to a cashier and self-service soft drink station. On-line ordering for individuals and groups via gobblerestaurant.com will represent the majority of sales for the 48-seat fast casual restaurant. Communal farmhouse tables welcome in-house diners. The open, airy restaurant space designed by architect Sue Genty Interior Design, Inc.  features bead-board wainscoting and a gracious color palette of brick red, forest green and warm tan, punctuated by traditional furniture pieces.

     A demonstration kitchen anchors the far end of the room, this is where owner/chef Gold will present regular cooking classes (Everything Turkey and beyond) and where a soon to begin weekly Gobble Wine Night-Sunday Family Supper & Wine Tasting, featuring exclusively Woodinville Wineries takes place.

Stone Korean Restaurant-Redmond

Stumbled upon this place yesterday in the rain in Redmond...had a really nice lunch. Was brought the 8 small bowls first, all manner of pickled and marinated condiments.  Since I love sour things, this would have been wonderful enough. Then, came the rice, in a hot stone bowl and the hotpot, tofu preparation, in another. It is a former restaurant location, taken over about 3-4 months ago. Looks pretty clean and taken care of. I happened to sit in a booth where there was something uncomfortable under my seat, so you might want to do the "princess in the pea" thing to find a good seat.    I will go again...according to YELP their website, I guess their fried chicken is a winner.
