If you are looking for some of the best food in Washington, you have found the place. Outstanding coffee is a given in Seattle, as is good breakfast to go with it – from creative donuts to kaleidoscopic versions of eggs Benedict. It’s a city rich in fresh Pacific Northwest seafood, served plain and fancy. Familiar and more exotic Asian food abounds; it’s where America learned to love teriyaki. Over the mountains to the east, rural Washington is a vista of remarkable bakeries (maple bars!), local apples sold in fruit stands, and downhome diners where portions are immense and country-style hospitality reigns. In the far eastern stretches of the state, where fields of grain truly wave across the rolling land, Washington begins to feel more like the Rockies than the Pacific Ocean, and the bill of fare tends to be more stick-to-the-ribs comfort food.
