Holy Shit: Chefs McCracken and Tough in Seattle Weekly

I had a holy-shit response to much of Spur's food, both in terms of presentation and flavors.

But here they're looking to New York and Spain as well as local farms and waters for inspiration, and trying food that Tough calls "risky." They keep the menu small, they play hard, and they're not afraid of diving into trends.

Everything was extremely good.

I haven't been this excited by a dining experience in a long time.

Everything was perfect. I loved the presentation of the courses.
