First telltale sign of a great restaurant is the crusty van that pulls up full of hand-foraged mushrooms. Every time I see our mushroom guy pull up at Salty's, I get a pit in my stomach like the first time I asked a girl to dance. These mushrooms are hand foraged which means they are not farmed and are picked by wandering through the woods. Many varieties of mushrooms come from our forests in the Pacific Northwest and they have some crazy names. The varieties you might see around are fried chicken, lobster, delicious milkcap, bear's head tooth and hawks wing. Yes, these are all mushrooms and not superheroes. Today I want to go over the most common of the foraged mushrooms, the chanterelle. The chanterelle mushroom is a staple on every fall menu and adds richness to any stew or steak dish. Chanterelle mushrooms have a nice fruity aroma with a wonderful peppery finish. Here are tips on how to buy and cook these amazing fungi.

Buying Mushrooms

Dear Editor:

I enjoyed Jordan Royer's article about Seattle City Hall needing adult supervision. Unfortunately, Seattle is not the only place it is needed.

Our State government makes housing more expensive on purpose. They require urban growth boundaries, which put rings around cities. Housing and schools can only be built inside those rings.

The shortage of buildable land makes the land more expensive, greatly increasing the cost of housing. The State is requiring this so local governments don't have to build so many new roads.

The Highline School District could also use some supervision. They want an impact fee for new students. You would think an impact fee for schools would be a fee when new babies are born in the District or when someone first enrolls at a District school.

Instead, the District wants apartment and house builders to pay about $7,000 for each new house they build and about $6,000 for each new apartment. This cost is passed on to the house buyer or tenant, who may not have any children.

Buying Mushrooms

I was dining at Salty's on Alki recently and Chef Paolo Carey-diGregorio stopped by my table. He looked at me with wide eyes and a huge grin and said, "Kathy, come back to the kitchen I have something really exciting I want to show you." I was so curious, I jumped up and followed Paolo back to the chilly walk-in cooler. He very reverently picked up a huge basket of gorgeous, just picked mushrooms gathered by his favorite forager and said, "He gave me the best he had. Have you ever seen anything more beautiful? Gorgeous chanterelles, porcinis and morels were heaped before my eyes like gold. "I can hardly wait to make my Chef's special with these," he said. I felt as if he was sharing some regal treasure he had just unearthed … and truly he was.

There is barely anything as sumptuous and delicious as elegant mushrooms. Mushrooms were the food of royalty and so loved by kings that historically the first known mushroom farming is attributed to Louis the XIV. Undoubtedly he would agree with Paolo that mushrooms are a food to be revered.
