  • TROVE BBQ Black and white and red all over (and probably really, really good).

BRAND-NEW: The 4,000-square-foot quadripartite restaurant project known as Trove (500 E Pike St, 234-1234) just opened on Capitol Hill, brought to you by Seattle chefs Rachel Yang and Seif Chirchi, who run the great Joule and Revel. Trove is on the corner of Pike and Summit, where, before it closed down last year, Brocklind's outfitted Seattle with tuxedoes and shiny shoes to match for 106 years (yes, really!), as well as gorilla masks, chicken suits, and fake mustaches. Trove, employing Yang's creative, Korean-influenced expertise (her impressive résumé includes Per Se and a couple of James Beard nominations), is four restaurants in one: house-made noodles, soft-serve frozen custard, "elevated" Korean barbecue, and a full bar.

In the entryway is Trove Parfait, in the shell of an ice-cream truck lettered "SUPER DELUXE," "THE ONE THE ONLY THE VERY WOW BEST!!" and "HYPNO MAGIC." Six-dollar jars of soft-serve come in "Old School" and "New School" flavors...
