All-Market Chowder Analysis 2014 Gourds & Squash
Fresh This Month
BY MEGAN LEE & RICK RUTABAGA
T
what we call ‘Seattle
Style’ and we went
from there.
The main objective of this
is to highlight the plethora
of different places to get chowder here, in historic Pike Place
Market. We all know that Pike Place Chowder is ranked #1,
nationally, (and has a line, rain-or-shine to prove it plus they
deliver vacuum-packed gallons of their chowder concoction
all over the nation) but the land of Pike Place is a literally hot
bed with a lot to offer. And, all chowder bowls aside, all are
truly scrumptious, especially on a chilly (and possibly rainy),
cozy Seattle day. You could spent weeks trying them all. Some
restaurants make more than one, such as Pike Place Chowder.
Also, ask any of the judges if you have questions, they had a lot to say.
Without further ado, this is what we learned, this time around:
o delve deeper into the fascinating and ever-growing ‘Chowder
Phenomenon’ going on here on the (drizzly) banks of Elliot Bay, we
decided to again, host an All-Market Chowder Analysis [AMCA]
event. That is we invited all 12 of the restaurateurs, here at Pike Place
Market, who produce their own, unique clam chowder on a daily
basis, to offer us up an example to sample, and review.
For this rendition of the AMCA, which we’ve done many times
before, the 11 contenders are Kells, The Pear Delicatessen, Emmet
Watson’s Oyster Bar, Lowell’s, the Athenian, the Market Grill, the Market
Diner, Jack’s Fish Spot, the Steelhead Diner, the Pike Place Bar & Grill
and Pike Place Chowder. (We did have one chowder-making restaurant abstain.) If you have any questions about the location of any of
these fantastic establishment please see our Back Page.
Then, we brought together a panel of 11 ‘judges’ to analyze and
identify what was delicious, unique and stand-out-ish about each.
Our only rule was that each be traditional New England style, or
Market Grill

The Pike Place Market is not only a great, local place to shop; the ‘Soul of Seattle’ is also the most haunted place in town! BY MEGAN LEE

Can you believe it? The holiday
season and what we call ‘Market Magic’
are right around the calender corner!
Thursday, November 27, is Thanksgiving (and what better place to hunt down
your feast-y fixins’ than here).
Then, Saturday, November 29, is the big
Magic in the Market Holiday Kick-off
event, from 1 to 5 pm. This afternoon/
evening of tree-lighting, holiday celebratory cheer and Market-y stuff has become one of the best parts of this super
Seattle season.
Starting at 1 pm, families can sample
holiday treats and decorate cookies in
the Atrium Kitchen.
Santa will be on the street to take photos with kids of all ages. Throughout the
afternoon, Great Figgy Pudding Caroling Competition teams will entertain
the crowd while a ukulele group will
perform in rotating locations. Christmas trees, apple cider, and other holiday
treats will be for sale along Pike Place.
At 5 pm, Santa will lead a countdown
to the lighting of the 20-foot holiday
tree and lights throughout the Market.
Join in the fun and the kick off to the
holiday season!
And, of course the event free to attend,
just bundle up and bring you and yours
down for the transcendent tradition!

At the Table Continues
At The Table, culinary program,
launched last month here at Pike Place
Market.
As usual, Pike Place Market is celebrating all things culinary (this season and
always) with a feast of new programming in the Market Atrium Kitchen,
located on the ground floor of the Economy Market building at 1433 First Avenue at Pike Street. (A space that is also
for rent for YOUR event.)
Located just steps away from the bustle
of the Market’s Main Arcade, At The
Table attendees will be inspired by
hands-on cooking classes, cooking
demonstrations by top chefs, extraordinary tastings and cookbook signings and readings.
As attendees learned in the initial
events, this culinary programming
will continue year-round with eclectic
offerings for children, families, home
cooks, gourmands and all those who
value and appreciate fresh food.

Besides being Britt’s CFO, Landry is also a chef with years of experience creating fermented foods. Trap creates the recipes at Britt’s fermentation production facility on Whidbey
Island (The Pickle Hatchery).

Lots of Action at the Market Theater
As usual, there’s lots going on at the Market Theater, located behind the world-famous Gum
Wall, in Post Alley! And, yep! Its time again for the annual Improv Championships! The competition and comedy has been fierce. 16 comedy duos have battled it out all for the last month. The
final four will represent Unexpected Productions (the longest continuously operating Improv
troupe in the nation) in Las Vegas. Join us at the Market Theater to cheer on:
Neil Kaiser & Matt Eaton, Chad Obara & Bryan Wells, Jaclyn Schuenzel & Marc Guy and
John Stevens & Justin Lund.
The Championship opens with a toss-up to determine order. There are 3 rounds per match.
Anything goes as long as it’s comedy based and there are 2 performers. You will provide the
suggestions and more importantly, YOU and 3 judges will decide the winner of each round
and the final winning Duo. The Champions will be flown to Las Vegas to perform in the Duo
All-Star Showcase at the Las Vegas Performing Arts Center and Sin City Theater at Planet
Hollywood on November 8 and 9.
And, don’t forget about the increasingly popular Seattle Holiday Tradition of A(n Improvised) Christmas Carol. It opens November 28, and runs throught Christmas, every Thursday, Friday and Saturday night, from 8:30 pm, and on Sundays, at 7 pm. Tickets are $5 to
$15, all ages invited. Pop by the (Gum Wall) Ticket Window or go toeventbrite.com/o/animprovised-christmas-carol-6900232869 to get yours or call (206) 587-2414.
Unexpected Productions brings back its holiday favorite, A(n Improvised) Christmas Carol.
Based on audience suggestions, the improvisers of Unexpected Productions bend and twist
Charles Dickens’ tale of Ebenezer Scrooge in all sorts of hilarious directions -- and each show
is different. Where does Scrooge work? What ails Tiny Tim? Does Scrooge even get reformed?
It’s all up to you in this wild, hilarious, holiday ride. A holiday tradition for countless locals
since 1985, it’s the perfect way to celebrate the holidays with friends or family.
“There is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humor.”
-Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol
Since 1985, when A(n Improvised) Christmas Carol debuted, countless people have made
this show a part of their holiday tradition. You should, too. But get your tickets early for this
one, because we are sure to sell out.

Don’t talk about the weather, don’t
talk about the weather. . .Can’t help
it: Brrrr. (C’mon snow!) I even like
winter, that might not be a popular
opinion, especially on the Craftsline,
its quite the wind tunnel down there.
I know, I’ve worked in it. But, the lights,
crowds, trees, chain saws, hot apple
ciders and excitement some how make
it work. Speaking of craftspeople I
hear they’ve embraced the Pike Up!
movement, when its time to “packup,” they now say, “Lets Pike Up!”
And, speaking of Pike Up!, the parade
was a big hit. Many Marketeers
turned up and the word is out! You
can now buy a future Hoofprint bearing your name (and 2017) for $5000, or
The Foundation is also selling 2-inch
steel Market Charms bearing a three
line message, which will dangle
on the fence, for a $180 donation.
“Leave your legacy on the path to the
Market’s future!”
In other crafts news, we hear Artist
Greg Anderson, who creates the
PDA’s Holiday Buttons every year,
is also working a some sort of ‘Tribute
to Market Carts.’ They are a fine art
in themselves! We wanna see what
he does!
Our own worldfamous pianist and
singer Johny Hahn
was featured on
KPLU, the radio
station highlighting his performing
here 28 years now,
“Rain or shine. . .”
No new news on the Line Management Policy, which took effect
in October, we’ll keep our scouts
out and keep ya’ll posted on how
this and all the rest flows! (And fees.)

HONOR YOUR
COMMISSIONERS
T
he Pike Place Market Historical Commission is a beneficiary
of the historical preservation movement begun with the protection of
the Stonehenge, in England, in 1850.
The historical preservation movement in the United States began
about the same time to save General
Washington’s Headquarter in New
York State. The movement grew with
local action all over the nation.
In 1925, New Orleans created the
Vieuw Carre Commission to save
the French Quarter from commercial alteration and piecemeal destruction.
In 1970, in drafting the Save the
Market initiative, Ed Singler, now
President of Friends of the Market,
researched national legislation and
found the New Orleans Vieuw Carre
Commission ordinance the only
functioning model for a district as
diverse as Pike Place Market.
That is the historical genealogy of
the Market Historical Commission
The first commission was led by
Irving Clark, Jr., a popular radio host
active in civic affairs. Victor Steinbrueck served with ten others to
draft guidelines for the commission
which are still in use with few changes from the original document.
For forty-three years, twelve citizens have constituted the Pike Place
Market Historical Commission, two
each drawn from six constituent
groups: Allied Arts, AIA (architects), Friends of the Market, Market
Merchants, Property Owners, and
Residents.
The position is unpaid, and commissioners take their personal and
family time and use their judgment
to follow the Commission guidelines
making decisions on all commercial
use and design applications within
the Market Historical District.
Being an Historic Commissioner is
an arduous job for a volunteer.
The initial three-year term is usually
followed by another, although not all
seek a second term. There are twenty
full commission meetings per year,
each lasting from one to three hours.
Plus, at least six commissioners sit
on one of two committees; Use Review and Design Review, which meet
between full commission meetings.
These add another twenty meetings
which are often shorter. (There is
one meeting in each of the holiday
months, November and December.)
Over the years the Commission has
been served by many distinguished
Seattleites who have given their time
to serve the Pike Place Market community. Victor Steinbrueck’s son Peter served from 1983 to 1990.
Jerry Thonn, Gerald Kumata and
Bruce Lorig, at different times, also
served on the PDA Council. Other
prominent Seattle and Market supporters who served on the Commission included Brewster Denny, Buster Simpson, Richard Desimone, and
Todd Collins (the founder of Daily
Dozen Donut Company).
The Commission is a semi-judicial
body. When applications for Certificates of Use or Design are under
consideration, commissioners can
have no contact or conversations
with applicants or their supporters.
Appeals of decisions by the Commission can be made by applicants
or persons present when the decision was made. Appeals are made to
the City Hearing Examiner, whose
decisions can be appealed further to
the Superior Court.
The Chair is elected or re-elected
each January. The 2014 chair is Donald Horn, appointed by the American
Institute of Architects, Seattle Chapter (AIA). Bob Hale, an architect, is
the second representative of AIA
The Vice Chair is Marika Cialdella,
executive Director of Heritage
House, representing Market District
property owners. The Commission’s
second property owner is Jerrod Stafford, co-manager of the Seattle Garden Center Building.
Karin Murr Link is the longest serving Commissioner. She is a preservation consultant, from Allied Arts.
David Guthrie, a landscape architect
is also an Allied Arts representative.
Murad Habibi is program analyst
at the Gates Foundation who lives in
the Triangle Building and represents
residents. The second resident is Melissa Connolley whose home is in the
Livingston-Baker Building.
The two business owners are Frank

Celebrate Italian-Style at Roberto’s!
The newly opened Roberto’s Venetian Trattoria

E
nter at the Pike Place Market Arcade, at the Pike Street/Pike Place elbow
of the Market. Stroll past The Clock and the fish-throwing festivity, at Pike
Place Fish Co., and head towards the bay. Board the carpeted, talking elevator
(just past the Pike Place Bakery) and get off at Level Two.
On a bright day, you may want to dine al fresco in Roberto’s Atrium, where,
I was told on my first visit, a clear vase bore a different colored flower at
each table.
In the dining room that day, each table was graced with a single red phlox.
Overall, the decor is elegantly simple, with shiny black tables topped with
glossy white china and white table linens.
The wait staff, also, were clad in black-and-white, and were very attentive.
The zuppa di giorno (soup of the day) was carrot bisque, a thick, delicious
compliment ti a vegetable one ordinarily might consider common. The Tor-
tellini in broth was also tasty. Both available by the cup or by the bowl.
Cocktails at Roberto’s sometimes include Rachel’s Ginger Beer as an ingredient, and boast colorful names. The Michelangelo is a potent blend of citrus
flavors with tequila. It is served in a stemless martini glass.
Happy hour is from 3 to 6 pm, daily. Then, you will find discounts on selected menu items, as well as on house wines and draft beers. Coming soon
will also be a late-night Happy Hour.
Besides an impressive list of antipasti, Roberto’s menu offers choices, from
pasta to pizza, to please most any palate, available in half and/or full sizes.
Both my friend’s Spaghetti Carbinara and my Tofie al Pesto desrved gold
stars.
The dessert menu held intriguing options. The Canoli with creamy filling
and pistachios was excellent. Tirsmisu, previously dismissed by me as a dry,
uninteresting fad food, here was moist, fluffy and delectable.
Lightly toasted bread, with warmed olive oil, was served on request,
and with each course, except dessert, we were asked if we wanted ground

Friends of the Market’s two representative are John Ogliore, a retired federal employee, and Christine Vaughan, a
fabric artist on the craftsline. She replaces Stephanie Pure who completes her second term this year.
The October 22 Historical Commission meeting was an average one, part business, part routine, and a little fun.
DeLaurenti Specialty Food & Wine’s owner, Pat McCarthy, was asking for temporary holiday use of the former Great
Wind-Up space, now vacant. The space is for storage and non-retail preparation until January 2015. This temporary use
and design expansion was granted, swiftly.
Julee Rosanoff, partner in the Perennial Tea Room with former Historic Commissioner Susan Zuege, representing all
Upper Post Alley merchants asks for permission to “replace an approved freestanding directory sign” at Stewart and
Pike Place. Business names have changed but the same colors will be used. Passed.
Maricos Mexico’s owner, Maria Christina Estrada, did not appear to press
her application for business and menu boards, a security door, and exterior
paint. The business is at 97-B, Pike Street in the Economy Arcade just opposite the Newsstand and it appears much of the new exterior paint is on
and dry. Keep posted.
The last application was the most interesting, on behalf of his Athenian restaurant, Scott Rogel, showed large format historical photos of the front of his
business. He wanted to paint the storefront, entry doors, replace signage with
the original type font, and install black and white tiles along the bottom front.
All of these design changes had been approved by the Design Review Committee the previous week. Mr. Rogel’s presentation revealed a trove of historical documents, scrapbooks, and photographs collected by previous owner
Louise Cromwell over the past 50 years. The Commission urged Mr. Rogel
to consider donating this valuable historical collection to the Seattle Public
Library, which maintains a large, dedicated archive of the Pike Place Market.
Tough decisions on business operations in the Market make many meetings tense. But, to preserve the Market we all have known through the years,
identifiable and unique, yet functioning in changing economic times is a
challenge the Historic Commissioners face by following the guidelines and
their best judgment.
All agendas, minutes, and much other information on the Historical Commission can be found at: seattle.gov/neighborhoods/historicpreseration.

Here are my curl-up-and-read suggestions:
Ask your favorite Pike Place book vendor for a copy of “Until We Reach Home,” by Lynn
Austin. This is a story of three sisters in their late teens, immigrating from Sweden to Chicago,
including a detainment i Ellis Island, in 1897. Starting out as Christians, these girls find their
faith challenged in many quarters until they finally triumph as both individuals and as a team.
Perhaps you’ve read “The Christmas Box,” “ The Christmas Angel,” or one of the many other
popular books by Richard Paul Evans. His plots and characters are generally sad but endearing. Usually his ending have not quite suited me -- until NOW. I just finished reading “The
Carousal,” and recommend it.
The “Giving Quilt,” by Jennifer Chiaverini, is a heart-warmer. Among its gems are the discussions the quilters have when their leader asks, “Why do we give?” Interesting replies come
from the mother of two teens, who works as a 911 operator. Also from a grandmother, and
from a young college student doing a community service project after breaking her legs in a
cheerleading accident.
Blessings to all you this holiday season! May all your needs , by the grace of God, be abundantly met!

movement says, “We’re raising the roof on a once in a lifetime project: A Pike Place Market from Post Alley to Puget Sound.”
This is the most significant Market restoration since the “Save the Market” days and the first visible step in the transformation
of our downtown waterfront. Construction is slated to begin ‘soon’ and be complete before the Viaduct is demolished. Forty years
in the making, the new Pike Place Market Waterfront Entrance (also known as MarketFront) will complete the final piece
of the Market’s historic district. Spurred by the removal of the Alaskan Way Viaduct, the new MarketFront expansion will
transform a surface parking lot into a waterfront-facing side of the Market.
True to the Charter of the Market, this addition to the Market creates more

Mini Market Almanac
It’s November, which we like to think of as the month of food,
when the best of cooks can shine and the best of eaters will surely get their fill.
Which are YOU?
November comes from the Latin word novem meaning “nine” because this was
the ninth month of the early Roman calendar. The 1st is All Saints’ Day.
This is the day when the saints are honored, especially those who do not have a
day of their own. Veteran’s Day is always November 11, the day World War I
ended. We honor all the men and women who have served.
This year, Thanksgiving Day arrives on November 27, which around here we
know as Jimi Hendrix’s birthday. . .
Full BEAVER Moon: November 6
New Moon: November 22
Last Quarter: November 14
New Moon: November 29
So They Say. . .(aka folklore)
November take flail; let ships no more sail.
If trees show buds in November, the winter will last until May.
There is no better month in the year to cut wood than November.
Ice in November brings mud in December.
• Birth Flower - The chrysanthemum.
A red chrysanthemum means “I love you;” a white chrysanthemum means
innocence, purity, and pure love; a yellow chrysanthemum means slighted love.
. • Birthstone - Topaz, was thought to have the power to cool boiling
water, as well as excessive anger.
• Quotables:
“And the dead leaves lie huddled and still, No longer blown hither and thither;
The last lone aster is gone; The flowers of the witch-hazel wither . . .
-Robert Frost (1874-1963)
