Chef Aaron Verzosa and partner Amber Manuguid have opened Archipelago, serving progressive Filipino American cuisine drawing on Verzosa’s experience working in culinary research at the Modernist Cuisine lab in Bellevue.
The new spot will be more fine dining than casual, with two seatings per evening featuring an 8-10 course tasting menu. Check them out on Instagram or Facebook.
Occupying a former gas station at the corner of Rainier and Findlay, Big Chickie has become a key neighborhood hangout for Hillman City families. With a casual, partially-enclosed dining area carved out of the parking lot, and generous plates of brasa-cooked (charcoal rotisserie) chicken, potatoes and uncommonly good side salads, Big Chickie is a reliable lunch and dinner option for neighbors and working people passing through.
