Von’s 1000Spirits has been my go-to Seattle spot since I moved to this lovely city four years ago. I’ve easily eaten everything on the menu. I think I gained ten pounds when they started serving their insane salmon chowder a couple years ago because I ate it every day for two weeks straight. At Von’s, Executive Chef Jason Amador goes above and beyond to bring you delicious, elevated, but not overly-complex dishes. He and his culinary team are consistently impressing me with their commitment to quality, local ingredients and fresh, Seattle-esque dishes. They’re always working on menu development here and they just started serving their new winter menu this week. Lucky me, I stopped by to taste test all these delicious new items – here’s what’s on the menu:
