A LATTE WORK >>>
Every coffee snob has his favorite barista; it's sort of like rooting for your home state football team.
Wait. Bad example since our home state teams sucked this weekend.
Anyway - how do you determine who's actually the best barista? The answer is the Latte Art Competition tonight at Beyond the Bridge Café. South Sound baristas will battle it out - pouring a perfect espresso topped by a smooth, airy layer of foamy crema art - in front of judges Angie Hill of Caffe D'arte, Pat Brown of Satellite Coffee, A.J. Anderson of Valhalla Coffee Company and Bryan Reynolds of Puyallup Forza.
Drop by the new coffeehouse on Sixth Avenue tonight and check out the crema of the crop.
Monday, Sept. 20, 7 p.m., no cover
