The Nosh with Rachel Belle

You may have eaten a meal in Seattle’s Chinatown-International District, but how much do you know about the history of the restaurants and neighborhood? Host Rachel Belle sets out on foot with a guide from the Wing Luke Museum to explore the neighborhood’s oldest Chinese restaurant and eat handmade dumplings at its only Thai restaurant, an experience available to anyone who wants to sign up!

In 2024, Seattle was declared America’s #1 pizza city. Uproar ensued. Host Rachel Belle visits two out-of-the-delivery-box pizza chefs to determine what is “Seattle pizza”? Tasting local ingredients, like the Dungeness crab Detroit-style pies at Moto Pizza and traditional Japanese flavors at chef Mutsuko Soma’s Pizzakaya pop-up, Rachel explores this existential question one slice at a time.

Sustainability chef and PBS TV host Joel Gamoran raids Rachel Belle’s home fridge. Together they turn trash-bound food scraps like woody asparagus ends and potato peels into a restaurant-worthy meal. With his zero-waste cooking hacks, Joel proves that the stems, peels and cores we mindlessly throw away can be transformed into gourmet creations. An inspiring and environmental way to save some cash!
