“Speaking from his restaurant, just a fish-toss from Pike Place Market’s fish-tossers, Davis insists, “Anybody can run a restaurant in boomtown when times are good, but only a certain few can survive when times are hard, when there’s a dot.com bust or September 11 or an earthquake or a failed economy. Only the restaurants that have people who are engaged, people with vision at the wheel and at the helm, driving sales day in and day out. The restaurants that have that leadership will do well in good times, and in bad.”

- Chef Kevin Davis, owner Steelhead Diner
