Palace Kitchen

Could nature actually be healing? Tom Douglas's iconic downtown restaurant Palace Kitchen, a favorite of celebrities like Martha Stewart and Isabella Rossellini and one of the first Seattle restaurants to shutter when the pandemic hit, reopens its doors tomorrow. The Stranger's Christopher Frizzelle penned a poignant eulogy for the restaurant in March 2020, writing, "Everyone who's been to Palace Kitchen knows how great it is. A golden glow pervades the place, emanating from the kitchen. The bar is in the center of the room, with seating on either side. The whole idea of Palace Kitchen is that this is where palace servants gather to feast and play, which explains that giant oil painting of a palace kitchen. The cooks all wear mechanics' jumpsuits—and they include, sometimes, Tom Douglas himself, the man with three James Beard awards."

Taiwanese-American chef and Seattle food scene veteran Tiffany Ran founded her pop-up BaBaLio in 2018 after longing for the dishes she missed from home.

At this one-off event, she'll draw inspiration from the flavors and ambience of Taiwan's popular late-night rechao (stir-fry) restaurants, slinging wok-fired meals alongside refreshing saisons from Fair Isle.
