The all-vegan menu includes Field Roast frankfurters with variations like currywurst, Seattle dogs, and elote dogs, burgers inspired by McDonald's, Whataburger, and Dick's, and "hangry style" fries smothered in American cheese, grilled onions, and fry sauce. Brunch will arrive this weekend, with egg substitute-based dishes like scrambles, breakfast sandwiches, and breakfast burritos in addition to hash browns and Beyond breakfast sausage. The spot is currently open for takeout only but plans to add outdoor and limited indoor seating eventually.

FUTURE OPENINGS

Canlis Like List
Seattle's premier fine-dining establishment has been making the news a lot lately: The restaurant recently announced its new executive chef Aisha Ibrahim, and now, it's reopening for indoor dining on July 1. Reservations will go live at 12 pm on June 9. Co-owner Mark Canlis revealed the news in an emotional email, writing, "It’s with so much pride and a deep sense of gratitude that we invite you back to dinner, back to a restaurant you used to know. Or maybe you’ve never known it. I can promise you this: it wants to know you. We all do. If you’re receiving this email, you’re likely aware of what this past season has meant to us. Was it a struggle to stay in business? Sure it was. But the real struggle was to stay turned toward one another. If 18 pivots didn’t make it painfully clear, we think you are worth pursuing, yes through a pandemic but even through our differences, through those things that want to separate us or turn us away from one another. I don’t know what it will take to alter our course, but it will take more than a pandemic. The future of this city and these people has everything to do with coming together. Let’s do that."

Volunteer Park Cafe Like List
In other Canlis-related news, some of the iconic restaurant's former employees will be joining another historic Seattle staple, Volunteer Park Cafe, which closed last fall and has been purchased by local architect and winemaker James DeSarno. Former Canlis expediter Melissa Johnson will be running the cafe, while former Canlis pastry chef Crystal Chiu will be in charge of the baked goods. If you tried any of the bagels at Canlis's short-lived pandemic pivot bagel shop last year, you're already familiar with her work, and yes, they will be making an occasional appearance on the menu. The spot is tentatively slated to open in June.
