About Us

We are Ross & Kara, and we are the Dinks that Dine! Our relationship started in 2014 with a date at an amazing Latin restaurant, and we clicked from the start, especially after we discovered our mutual affinity for food, drink and travel!
Since then, we have traveled around the world, from our favorite close-to-home getaway on Hood Canal to the tropical splendors of Fiji; devoured incredible eats from Ross's favorite California Burritos in San Diego to Michelin starred spreads; sampled heavenly cocktails here, there and everywhere; and oh yeah... we got married along the way!
In addition to all of that, we also enjoy getting outside for our short Seattle summers to go biking, golfing, and boating; supporting Seattle sports (Ross LIVES for the return of the Sonics); spending gloomy days playing cribbage and battling it out on Mario Kart; and transforming our home into a winter wonderland for Christmas. Of course, we do need to work to fund our dining fix! Ross is a solo-practice attorney, and Kara is a clinical nurse educator at a local magnet hospital.
Thank you for following us on our journey as we travel the globe seeking new food and experiences. We are a bit quirky, one might even say a little weird, but we always have a good time!
