Seattle, Washington (Episode #30)
Home to so many of the West Coast's cultural
innovations, Seattle dominates the skyline and the headlines. We
visit the famous Pike Place Market with local culinary character
Gregory Lyons and witness the Flying Fish known "and heard"
all over the world. Then, we are lucky enough to uncover a truly
hidden gem, which is never seen by the general public. "The
Ruins" is really the most unique restaurant ever visited by
Taste of Life. From its French Palace styled ballroom, to its book
lined Bistro, to its Elephant Cage room, The Ruins offers the "members
only" diner a truly amazing backdrop for the smallest romantic
dinner for two to the finest function for two hundred. Executive
Chef Michelle Lussier is renowned as one of America's finest women
chefs and Executive Chef Craig Serbousiak controls the fine dining
kitchens at The Ruins. Craig makes for us Curried Mediterranean
Mussel Soup and then a Brined Grilled Pork Tenderloin. One thing
is certain, no one can really say why this culinary gem is called
"The Ruins" but we can say this is the most unique place
we've ever seen!

Pike Place Market
Pike Place Market, created in 1907 to bring
the produce and daily catches from local farmers and fishermen
direct to the consumer. To this day, the shouts and sounds
of the fish merchants showcasing the freshest and best of
the Pacific Northwest make this a must visit for everyone,
including local residents, restaurateurs and tourists alike.

Ruins Restaurant
The Ruins Restaurant is undoubtedly Seattle's
best kept secret. It is a dining club, not open to the public.
However, Taste of Life brings this hidden gem to the television
screen and opens our eyes to what is probably the most exciting
restaurant we have ever filmed. There's not too many places
where you can get one of America's best meals, not to mention
the added attraction of a full size model elephant standing
over your table!!!
