The Best Dishes Eater's Seattle Editor Ate in June 2025
At Eater Seattle, we have to eat out a lot — it's right there in the website name, next to 'Seattle.' Sometimes, this research shows up in the articles and maps we publish, but sometimes, we eat something so good that we have to tell everyone about it. This running monthly column is a place for us to share especially good dishes with you. I was at Melrose Market this month writing about the controversy surrounding the window coverings put up by incoming tenant Eggslut, so naturally I stopped in at Cafe Suliman, the perpetually charming counter run by Ahmed Suliman. The small plates format here means that you can have anything from a snack to a multi-course meal, and I opted for something snacky: halloumi with seasonal vegetables. The cheese was snappy on the outside and chewy on the inside but what really stood out was the combination of dukkah and a quince dressing, which made the dish a little sweet but also deeply savory. If I was a vegetarian I'd eat at Cafe Suliman even more than I already do. For father's day I carted my family to surely one of the more dad-coded restaurants in Seattle. Lady Jaye has great meat, a whiskey-focused cocktail menu, Floyd on the patio speakers, and incredible ribs. These were a special and not always available, but they were simultaneously smokey and crispy and so tender the meat was falling off the bone. I was gnawing this sweet, succulent meat in between bouts of trying to get my one-year-old to not injure himself. (Maybe takeout next year.) The pork on this plate is fantastic — crispy, fatty, and with a little bit of cumin-y spice. But honestly the sides accompanying it may outshine it. The greens cooked in coconut milk are rich and taste mostly of coconut (obviously) but have some intriguing bitter notes too, an impressive depth of flavor from an unassuming dish. If you haven't been to Lenox, correct that immediately. The round pizza at Dino's on Capitol Hill is good but you should skip it to get the square pie instead. It's not as thick as a Detroit-style pie but it has those crispy, Maillardized edges characteristic of that style. It's chewy, it's tangy, it's the kind of pie you're constantly just having one more slice of. See More:

S/He Is Still Her/e review: Genesis P-Orridge film offers invaluable glimpses into a radical life
S/He Is Still Her/e: The Official Genesis P-Orridge Documentary Director : David Charles Rodrigues Cert : 18 Genre : Documentary Starring : Genesis P-Orridge, Lady Jaye Breyer P'Orridge, William S Burroughs, Alice Genese, David J, Caresse P'Orridge Balpazari Running Time : 1 hr 38 mins The challenge of distilling the life of the occultist, performance artist, avant-garde musician and pioneering pandrogynyst Genesis Breyer P-Orridge into a single documentary is akin to bottling lightning. Until s/he – their preferred pronoun – died, in 2020, P-Orridge lived not just many lives but many selves, spanning punk rebellion, gender reinvention, occult philosophy and tender parenthood. David Charles Rodrigues' S/He Is Still Her/e arrives with the blessing of P-Orridge's daughters and access to personal archives. Yet for a film about an artist so defiantly experimental, the final cut is surprisingly conventional. Rodrigues structures the film around a late interview with P-Orridge during treatment for leukaemia, marrying archival footage with bursts of DIY psychedelia. The result is reverent and heartfelt but stylistically conventional and unlikely to be mistaken for a transgressive mirror of its subject. READ MORE Taking (some) cues from Brion Gysin's cut-up aesthetic, the film's rhythm falls into familiar talking-heads territory, a binding form ill suited to an artist who believed the body was a prison and gender a fiction. But S/He Is Still Her/e nevertheless provides invaluable glimpses into a life that collided with everyone from William S Burroughs to Timothy Leary, and from Psychic TV to Nepalese monks. Most striking is the film's treatment of the Pandrogeny Project, P-Orridge's radical partnership with Lady Jaye Breyer, in which the pair surgically altered their bodies to become one 'pandrogynous' entity. It's a concept far ahead of its time, less about trans identity than about dissolving identity altogether. Allegations of manipulation and abuse by Cosey Fanni Tutti (aka Christine Carol Newby), P-Orridge's former creative and domestic partner, are glossed over in an intertitle. We get the Scottish Conservative MP Nicholas Fairbairn's description of P-Orridge and Tutti as 'wreckers of civilisation'. But not nearly enough space is afforded to the music or to the absurd Channel 4 Dispatches documentary that alleged, in 1992, that s/he had been involved in satanic ritual abuse. The fallout was serious enough for P-Orridge and family to remain in exile in – wait for it – Winona Ryder's old bedroom. The footage was later revealed to have come from a 1980s art project that turned out to have been partly funded by Channel 4 .
