Two years ago when we first featured
Thanksgiving hot dogs they were few and far between. But with the new wave of modern hot dog restaurants—often run by former fine-dining chefs eager to experiment—Thanksgiving has become a serious hot dog holiday. Check out this slideshow for Thanksgiving-themed hot dogs ranging from elegant and creative to straight up ridiculous.

Despite the late summer arrival of heat-wilted afternoons, the chill of the evening skies and whispering hints of autumn are signs that the farmers' markets in the Northwest are coming to a close. So to finish out my own season for
Market Scene out in Washington state, what better way to bid farewell to summer than from my own backyard—welcome to Duvall, just northeast of Seattle. Won't you visit for a final stroll through our little market?

If you can resist the Cuban press sandwich on steroids or the colossal grilled chicken breast sandwich, you'll want to try the
Cuban roast ($8.50), which exalts fat hunks of pork shoulder, unbelievably succulent and blissfully meaty. Like most of Paseo's signature sandwiches, the Cuban roast is bound with a swipe of fragrant aioli, striated with piquant pickled jalapenos and topped with rings of plump, sweet roasted onions, and an obligatory stalk of crisp romaine lettuce.

An old metal bell signals the start of the
Bellevue Farmers' Market, but even before it rings at 3 p.m., the official start time, people start gathering. Bellevue is about a 20 minute drive east of Seattle (not counting traffic), across Lake Washington. For the most part, the market has a local-edibles-only rule—only food that's grown or prepared in Washington can be sold here.

Former
Top Chef contestant

Market House Corned Beef is cheap and filling and the best in the neighborhood.

Whenever we're in Seattle, we make a beeline straight to
Pike Place Market. The daily market has brought together farmers, fishmongers, and bakers since 1907. Even if you haven't been there, you're probably familiar with the iconic fish toss.
"Hali-BUT! Hali-BUT! Heyyyyyy!" In addition to the fresh produce and seafood, we love the hot dogs, doughnuts, chowder, and other snacks from vendors all over the market.
Here are eight of our must-stops.

When faced with the wall of choices available at
Pioneer Square's Delicatus in Seattle, it's a rather daunting task picking out what to have for lunch, especially if you're a first-timer. So let me offer some assistance in weeding through the 25 different sandwiches by directing you to one of the best: the
ShankLamb. It's lamb's pulled pork equivalent.

If you've already had a chance to look at the photos
insane dinner I had at the Modernist Cuisine Cooking Lab in Seattle a couple weeks back, you may be interested in knowing what goes into preparing all that food, and the book. Before the meal, we took
an extensive tour of the massive warehouse space that houses the Cooking Lab. Ever seen a microwave cut in half?

Seattle chefs brought their A-game to Sunday's Cochon 555, the Super Bowl of Sustainable Swine. And by A-game, I mean
pork belly topped with kimchi, bacon brittle gelato, pork blood ravioli, Scrapple Bomba, ham topped with "lardonnaise", trotter fritters, lard biscuits and much, much more. The event, which hits eight cities in the U.S., was created to showcase family farms raising heritage breed pigs.
