Well, it’s been several months since my birthday trip to the Pacific Northwest and I’m slowly getting caught up with editing photos and writing posts. Today, I introduce you to Steelhead Diner Chef Anthony Polizzi who was flattered when he saw my camera and demonstrated the proper way to shuck an oyster.
Seattle was the final stop on the journey and it’s safe to say ZeldaMae and I ate our way through the Emerald City. Check out this article, “My Girlfriend Getaway to Seattle, Washington,” to find out what other culinary delights we enjoyed.
And now I’m delighted to introduce you to Chef Anthony Polizzi from Steelhead Diner. If you dine there, tell him Solo Travel Girl sent ya!

Aw shucks. One of many talents. Anthony is great.
I certainly know Anthony because I am his “Oh so proud mom”. Thank you for all the wonderful praise.
At Peace River Seafood & Botanicals in Punta Gorda, Blue Crab University turns a Monday night into a hands-on lesson in Southwest Florida crabbing culture. From crab biology and local history to blue crab cornbread and all-you-can-eat steamed crabs, the inaugural class delivers a uniquely Old Florida experience. I left with my Masters in Crabology.
