Go, shop, win: Now its fourth location, Kitchen & Market’s newest outpost in Kirkland is aptly situated, if you ask us here at NWY. The bright, cheery grocery lies less than a mile inland of Lake Washington, with convenient access to Yarrow Bay Marina, and is located almost directly due east of a favorite fall time boating destination: Husky Stadium. Open since mid-August, K&M specializes in grab-and-go fare, specialty snacks, and perhaps most famously, meal kits that include all the ingredients to easily whip up the chosen spread. It’s a dream sailgating scenario: Pop in and snag a latte from the in-house coffee bar and enjoy it on the sunny patio as you plan out your gameday fare, then pick up the pre-prepped supplies and head for the docks to stock the galley before kick-off. With all-included meals like hula pork sliders crafted with carnitas, ginger scallion sauce, and cabbage slaw on Hawaiian rolls; Vietnamese lettuce wraps with flavorful chicken thighs, Thai peanut sauce, and fried shallots; or even a crowd-pleasing paella made with smoky chorizo and a bevy of seasonal veggies, plus other easy pick-up-and-cast-off options like salads, sammies, soups, and even desserts (there’s always warm chocolate chip cookies for sale!), it’ll be a snap to prep your spread, so you’re guaranteed not to miss a single snap during the game.
