The Most Delectable Block in Ballard!
It has been nearly 5 years since I began my first wanderings through Ballard, WA and it was only last week that I discovered for the very first time, the most delicious block in the area! At first glance, it seems almost unnoticeable and then a slight breeze dances past your nostrils and you realize, all of a sudden, that you are standing at the brink of brilliantly delectable discovery. Your feet instinctively follow the aromas wafting down the street and deposit you at a place to which you anticipate building a budding and long-term familiarity: Delancey (http://delanceyseattle.com/).
Once inside, the honey-colored glow of candlelight twinkles across the kitchen to meet with the oven’s fantastic flame that is transforming the limp, pale dough into a bruised and rough mass of melted cheese and crispy bread. The crunch of toasted dough is softened by the moist, supple interior; you are a puppet- pulled into a trance by the flavors and textures that dazzle your mouth. The pizza is followed by a sinful and silky desert of caramel nectarines reclining atop a satin pillow of whipped cream; and a cookie, simple and comforting in its rich luxuriousness.
