The Best Thing Our Senior Editor Ate This Week
Mamnoon's take on the hot dog is all Seattle
By Seattle Mag April 11, 2016
Here’s the grub our senior editor Lara Hale is raving about this week:
“Full disclosure: I love Mamnoon. I live about a block away, and I take full advantage year-round, but it’s a firm favorite in warm weather, when I can walk my dog over and grab a spot on the tiny patio out front. On a glorious sunny afternoon, inspired by our recent piece on the history of the “Seattle Dog”, I decided to try Mamnoon’s take: the Seattle Kefta Dog “Arayess,” a seasoned beef kefta on a housemade bun topped with tomato, onion and cucumber piccalilli—and of course, labneh, Middle Eastern cream cheese, the ingredient that makes a Seattle Dog a Seattle Dog.
It’s delicious—exotic and familiar all at once—and perfect accompanied by a glass of the restaurant’s refreshing mint lemonade.”
