Miner's Burgers 2415 S 1st St, Yakima

Top Chef and Good Eats chef Alton Brown has been to Yakima a couple of times and had plenty to say about the Yakima food scene. I waited in a long line one chilly morning in frot of the Capitol Theatre and I got to take this pic with him.

I told him I wanted to be photographed with him as I puffed on my vape. He said I was "one of the weirdest people he's ever met." I took that as a GREAT COMPLIMENT even though I know he didn't mean it that way! During his show at The Capitol, he raved about having tried one of Miner's Burgers (2415 S 1st St, Yakima).

Funny that he made fun of me then when these days, he's all about not being conformist! HA.

Yakima Thai Cuisine

I had no idea that actor Bill Murray passed through Yakima that one time and stopped to grab some delicious Thai food downtown at Yakima Thai Cuisine. How cool is that!

Cowiche Canyon Kitchen & Icehouse Bar

202 E Yakima Ave, Yakima

United States Senator Bernie Sanders had dinner at Cowiche Canyon Kitchen & Icehouse Bar (202 E Yakima Ave) after his presidential campaign rally at the Yakima Sundome in 2016. It was a big deal because it has been quite some time since Secret Service dudes have been noticeably seen around these parts!

I was super lucky to enjoy a meal with world-famous comedian Brad Upton on one of his trips to Yakima for a private function at Two Mountain Winery. He laughed at the fact that I didn't want to order dessert. Hey, not everybody wants dessert, ya know. I also was super lucky enough to share a meal with Brad Upton at another Yakima location (See #4).

Mickey's Pub

101 N Naches Ave, Yakima

Mickey's Pub is a cool trendy spot located inside the Orion Cinema in downtown Yakima (202 E Chestnut Ave). Comedian Brad Upton came here to enjoy food and beverages with some of his groupies fans, yes, we were fan-peopling (my new word) after filming one of his comedy specials at the old Seasons Performance Hall location.

You can watch the special on Amazon. It's been so long ago that I can't remember what he ate or which beverage he preferred but I know that we all had a blast and didn't want to leave!

Crafted

22 N 1st St

This restaurant is owned by a chef duo that have been nominated for the prestigious James Beard Awards. Their menu is always changing, so you're not likely to eat the same meal twice.

They use fresh and locally sourced ingredients, too. A restaurant like this is surely to bring in the celebrity set who are curious to see what all the hoopla is about. You will always see Yakima Valley (and Washington State) movers and shakers dining here.

I hope you enjoyed this quick tour of celebrity haunts in Yakima, WA. See you around town!
