Check out this article in USA Today by former Willamette Week Arts and Culture editor Caryn Brooks about Wild Salmon, a new Pacific Northwest concept eatery in Midtown Manhattan.

What do godfather chefs like Cory Schreiber and Seattle Chef Tom Douglas have to say about this mayhem? Just read the article, dude.

The current New Yorker Brooks —formerly known as Miss Dish because of the Willamette Week food column she penned for three years—is well suited to critique any Big Apple eatery that claims West Coast cred.
