We dig into the KUOW archives to tell you the origin story of the Seattle Dog.

This week, host Brandi Fullwood talks to Aaron Tekulve, the chef and owner of Surrell in Madison Valley. They get into what it's like to be a James Beard finalist (apparently it means a lot more microgreens at your door) and where he goes to eat on his day off. Hint: kid friendly, by the water, and there are plenty of cheesy chips.

How to order at this go-to spot:

• Basket of chips, crispy, light, and just the right amount of salt
• Not-so-spicy salsa
• Queso with bacon and grilled green peppers
• Fried Prawn with a mango mojo
• Optional but highly encouraged: the best flan and margaritas
