Celebrating Seattle's Next Seafood Stars

 
 

Popping the bubbly over here, and shucking those oysters, along with our friend and client Chef Nick Novello, who was just named one of “Seattle’s Next Seafood Stars.” Check out the latest issue of Seattle Magazine for all the details. As this local authority so aptly states, “as Seattle’s restaurant scene steps it up, a new class of seafood stars spearheads the celebration.”
