SEATTLE — Seattle has a unique and rich food history — from ancient oyster middens to today's hot restaurant scene — and it all reflects the region's geography, history and people.
“Edible City: A Delicious Journey” is a new exhibit about food that opens Nov. 19 at the Museum of History & Industry.
Curated by food writer Rebekah Denn, the exhibit will tell the stories behind a lot of Seattle's favorite foods — both foraged and imported.
You'll learn about the Rainier cherry, the recipe that inspired Cinnabon, Yesler's Cookhouse built in 1853, P-Patches and the city's first sushi bar. Seattle's first espresso cart and tools from the Sagamiya bakery will be on display.
MOHAI said Seattle's culinary traditions reflect the confluence of cultures, natural resources and the willingness to try new things. Today it one of the country's top places to eat and innovate.
