Anacortes not only has beautiful scenery and is close enough for a quick getaway, but it's also home to the newly renovated Swinomish Casino and Lodge. The entire renovation took two years and makes the property feel brand new.
"We expanded the gaming floor and put in entirely new food and beverage outlets," said General Manager Dallas Widmark.
Chef A.J. Boulanger gave us a tour of the revamped food offerings you can find as part of the Swinomish's extensive renovation.
The Sports Bar & Grill, features signature smoked brisket, pulled pork, and ribs. Their extensive menu also offers pasta, steak, pizza, and grinders.
The Center Bar is a great place to enjoy a craft cocktail with your friends. Check out Carver's Cafe for 24-hour comfort food or if you're looking for something a bit more refined you can try 13Moons for elegant steak and seafood options.
If you just want to grab something quick, you can always try one of the Bay Food Court offerings, Manchu Wok and Fatburger.
One of their most popular dishes right now is the Honey Pecan Chicken. Chef A.J. Boulanger walked us through the Honey Pecan Butter recipe step by step.
