Chef Kerry Sear has been working in Northwest restaurants for many years, most recently landing at the Four Seasons Hotel and Residences in downtown Seattle as executive chef at ART Restaurant and Lounge. It’s a place we frequent since it’s right across the street from our condo; the Lounge is particularly inviting for a glass of wine and heavy appetizers.

You can order from the Lounge or dining room menus, but often we opt for Chef Kerry’s Salmon, Vegetarian, and Beef Sliders. Three come to an order, and you can mix or match as you desire. For example, I’m not into beef, so I order two salmon and a veg. My hubby, on the other hand, manly man that he is, goes straight for the beef, along with an order of Truffle Fries, of course.
