College Town
Cuisine
The town of Tacoma, Washington is
probably one of the best-kept secrets
in the college town scene. Home to
the University of Puget Sound, City
University of Seattle-Tacoma, the
University of Washington Tacoma,
and several others, Tacoma is a quality college town full of vibrant people
and the love of art, seafood, and coffee bring Seattle’s little sister to life.
A local favorite for over 27 years, C.I.
Shenanigans Seafood & Steakhouse
has been cooking up that very beloved seafood time and time again.

Located northeast of University Place, and
right on the water, C.I. Shenanigans offers
market-fresh oysters, Harris Ranch beef,
and an array of artisanal cocktails. More
than just a local hang-out, the restaurant offers a Sunday Brunch from 9:30am-1:45pm
that was on the Top 10 list for Best Brunches
by OpenTable. A brunch with an oyster bar
and $3 glasses of champagne? Yes, please!
For dinner, start with an order of the classic
Oysters Rockefeller, where they’re roasted
in the shell under a bed of wilted spinach
and doused with hollandaise sauce and
crumbled bacon.
The Lobster Quesadilla
is a college favorite,
with sweet lobster
bits, mozzarella, sweet
peppers, avocado salsa,
spiked slaw, and pico on
a flour tortilla.
