Skillet will continue serving West Seattle on Sundays despite problems finding a permanent location.
Skillet Street Food, the popular mobile kitchen, will be serving West Seattle for the next four weeks at Seattle Lutheran High School's parking lot on 41st Avenue Southwest and Southwest Genesee Street said executive chef Josh Henderson.
The restaurant was originally planning to serve next to the Farmer's Market when it first came to the neighborhood three weeks ago. When that became impossible, they served in the Hotwire Coffee parking area, although large crowds made that too small of a space.
But last Sunday, Skillet seemed successful at Hope Lutheran High School. Henderson said after four weeks they will reconsider a more permanent location.
Skillet serves bistro-style cuisine from a Streamline trailer all over Seattle. Each day, they serve a different neighborhood their tasty burgers, BLT sandwiches, macaroni and cheese, salads and garlic fries. Each dish features gourmet ingredients such as fine cheeses, caramelized onions and saffron.
Their take on the burger is served with bacon jam, blue cheese and arugula.
On his Web site, Henderson wrote, "Our goal is to provide seasonally relevant, locally sourced and impeccably executed bistro style food up and down the west coast out of our airstream trailers."
Skillet will serve lunch in West Seattle on Sundays from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. They plan to begin serving breakfast in June or July.
