WIN $50 TO A/STIR FOR SEATTLE RESTAURANT WEEK

Seattle Restaurant Week is back, and a/Stir is stirring it up.

We swung by the Capitol Hill spot to sample the goods and let’s just say… we’re still thinking about that red-wine braised short rib. Also on deck: wild Alaskan fish & chips, Turkish shepherd’s salad, and a space that feels like your coolest friend’s dinner party.

Want a taste? Win a $50 gift card and see what the fuss is about.
