MICHAEL SWAN: DELICIOUS NEWS >>>

Maxwell’s Speakeasy + Lounge provided Weekly Volcano food critics Jason and Jake de Paul the opportunity to ring up a few healthy tabs â€" enough so they’ve been ordered to wash the publishers’ cars the rest of the summer to make up for it. Not that Maxwell’s is any more expensive than other top-notch restaurants in Tacoma, it’s just that the boys couldn’t stop going back (as they tried to sell it) to make sure they had the story right. I’m sure that will come up at their early (forced) retirement party.

Check out their review of the new downtown Tacoma fine dining spot here.

PLUS: Chef Gordon Naccarato will open two new dining spaces.
