Eating Through Seattle: Old School Glamour Meets New World Plates At Spur Gastropub


Spur was a revelation. Projected on the wall was a muted black and white Paul Newman flick, and the air was loud with great music and roudy laughter. The atmosphere was the perfect combination of refined, stylish elegance (think molecular gastronomy experiments and rye and Scotch cocktails) and tavern hollering, down-and-dirty good eating (think burgers and beers and the best fries around). From our stellar and hilarious server, through the drinks, five courses, tour of the kitchen, to the Real Talk conversation with (ahem, adorable) Chefs Brian McCracken and Dana Tough, we had the time of our lives. It's no surprise that McCracken and Tough are jointly nominated for Food and Wine's People's Best New Chef - watch out for these guys, they're going places.

  3. I love Spur. Wifey and I had a fantastic meal there at the bar a couple years ago. It was our dinner on the way out of town, so unfortunately I didn't try any of the cocktails, but the food was amazing. We were promised a good meal by a friend, but we didn't expect the quality we received. Can't wait to go back.
