OPENINGS
Alki Chicken & Waffles
In the former space of B’s Po Boy, owner Tom Lin (who previously owned the Alki Homestead two doors down, now home to Mike Easton’s buzzy Italian pasta mecca Il Nido) opened this fried chicken joint on August 27. The menu includes organic fried chicken made with Lin’s famous secret recipe, which he’s carried over from his Homestead days, plus breakfast foods like waffles and eggs and comforting sides like fried zucchini and mashed potatoes.
