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.

This is far richer and more flavorful to the Sloppy Joes of childhood. The ground angus beef is mixed in a "boozy" tomato sauce that tastes like a sweet and sour whiskey barbecue sauce, topped with fried shallots and sage leaves to give it some crunch and round out the sweetness. Lot No. 3 smears the bun with a house-made Dijon mustard; it's spicier than what you'd find at other places, and it gives the sandwich an almost wasabi-like burn.

We went on a moral-foraging trip to Washington along with forager
Langdon Cook, author of the book
Fat of the Land. We went into the Eastern Cascades, many miles up the mountains and into a "burn zone." Many of the morels sold across the nation come from burn zones.

There was so much seaside goodness along the West Coast that we had to combine several ocean episodes into this one video. Watch as we forage for sea beans in Bodega Bay in Northern California with Hank Shaw of the site
Honest Food, dig for a giant clam called a geoduck (pronounced gooey-duck) with John Adams and
Langdon Cook, and made our own salt with the young chef from
Herbfarm in Woodinville, Washington.

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?

The sun was shining from a clear blue sky at the
Redmond Saturday Market over the weekend, promising a warm, summer day. Entering its thirty-sixth year, this farmers' market in the Seattle suburb continues to bring together fresh, local produce and hand-crafted goods. People start arriving at 8:30 a.m. for the first pick despite the official 9 a.m. start time. Snapshots of the strawberries, cherries (Rainer and Bing), summer squash, and more!

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. Leeks, hothouse-grown heirloom tomatoes, wood-fired pizza from a mobile oven, and more.

Former
Top Chef contestant
Robin Leventhal and owners Jeff and Lara Sanderson have delivered a Seattle first: a truly great Jewish delicatessen. I swung by the recently opened
Stopsky's to compare their pastrami and corned beef.

This isn't the best pastrami you'll ever eat; it's cut too thinly for that. But the salty, peppery, coriander-toned meat piled on this gargantuan sandwich from Seattle's
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.
