The King of Ka-ching Guests On Generation Gap
Tom Antion is nothing like your average multi-millionaire. I have to issue a disclaimer at this point to say he’s the only multi-millionaire I know. But Antion likes to say he’s never had a job in his life, and yet he’s called the King of Ka-Ching – even his phone makes that sound – because […]
Love the E9 cinnamon rolls? Check out Tacoma bakery The Cat & Rabbitt Cakeshop
Restaurant work is grueling, but it’s just a little easier once you find your “people.” You rely on those people to make sure you don’t cut off your finger, get accidentally locked in the walk-in, or fall down the stairs carrying a cambro full of pig fat. If all works out well, one day you’ll […]

New high-end Mexican steakhouse Cuerno Bravo is open in Tacoma. Here’s a first look
Opening a high-end concept restaurant in Tacoma is tricky right now, especially just after we lost the best fine dining restaurant in Tacoma. Cuerno Bravo in Tacoma’s St. Helens neighborhood quietly reopened two weeks ago, six months after a tentative start that came crashing to a halt due to pandemic restrictions. This is one of […]
Here’s what’s happening with Tacoma’s Greek Festival (and where to find baklava)
About this time every October, a volunteer army piles into St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church in Tacoma, armed with buckets of tzatziki, hundreds of pounds of gyro meat, 11,000 wedges of baklava, and sturdy shoes. The three-day eating event is Tacoma’s favorite food festival. And, sadly, it’s canceled this year. But I have two things […]
