Our locally owned company  traces its history to 1969 when founder, Budd Gould opened his first  restaurant in Bellevue, Washington.  As the company grew focusing on  waterfront view locations throughout the Puget Sound, a variety of  concepts were developed to showcase the best of the Northwest in relaxed  dinner houses and casual dining restaurants as well as traditional “to  go” Fish N Chip bars.  In October 2011, the company went off the water  to open Anthony’s Seafood Grill at Alderwood.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;  Anthony’s opened our own wholesale seafood company in 1984 to insure we  consistently offer our guests the finest, highest quality fresh  seafood.  Anthony’s Seafood operates with the sole purpose of meeting  this goal.  We complement our fresh Northwest seafood with fresh “in  season” local produce, Northwest wines and local microbrews.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;  Anthony’s Restaurants is a privately held company owned by a  partnership of Seattle natives, Budd Gould, the Gould family and members  of Anthony’s senior management team.  The company employs over 1,500  team members of which more than 200 have been with Anthony’s over 10  years and 60 having 20 or more years of service.  We have 15  multi-generational families working with us including one three  generation family.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;  Dedicated to giving our guests a truly Northwest dining experience,  Anthony’s has earned the reputation for the finest fresh seafood,  perfectly prepared and expertly served with an uncompromising commitment  to quality and value.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Not a franchise)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2275113797372557208-4627427045880824961?l=chris-bassoo.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chris-bassoo.blogspot.com/feeds/4627427045880824961/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://chris-bassoo.blogspot.com/2012/01/anthonys-restaurant-in-washington.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2275113797372557208/posts/default/4627427045880824961'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2275113797372557208/posts/default/4627427045880824961'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chris-bassoo.blogspot.com/2012/01/anthonys-restaurant-in-washington.html' title='Anthony&apos;s Restaurant in Washington - Amazing Food!!!'/><author><name>Chris Bassoo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05487164346321047465</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2275113797372557208.post-5976352503536807770</id><published>2012-01-13T08:47:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-01-13T08:48:18.708-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="style16"&gt;&lt;span class="style19"&gt;Great link from wwwfranchisefraud.ca&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="style16"&gt;&lt;span class="style19"&gt;Get real franchise information from this site&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="style16"&gt;&lt;span class="style19"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="style16"&gt;&lt;span class="style19"&gt;Honest Franchise Links&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Chris Bassoo here. It's been chilly here in London, Ontario the last couple of days. All through May we had some really hot days; temperatures above 30, if you can believe it! But the last two days at least have been windy, and cold. I went outside yesterday expecting the weather to be as warm as it has been throughout June, and I found myself rushing back in the house to grab a light sweater. Today has been the same. The sun is hot though, and by that I mean, leaving the car windows up, it becomes a sauna just like any other hot day in June. I hope the weather gets hot again for the long weekend! Canada Day tomorrow, and July 4th for all you Americans! Should be a great weekend!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Any big plans for the weekend?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Warm regards for a warm weekend!&lt;br /&gt;- Chris Bassoo&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2275113797372557208-7496603152286844339?l=chris-bassoo.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chris-bassoo.blogspot.com/feeds/7496603152286844339/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://chris-bassoo.blogspot.com/2010/06/whats-up-with-weather.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2275113797372557208/posts/default/7496603152286844339'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2275113797372557208/posts/default/7496603152286844339'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chris-bassoo.blogspot.com/2010/06/whats-up-with-weather.html' title='What&apos;s Up with the Weather?'/><author><name>Chris Bassoo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05487164346321047465</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2275113797372557208.post-1476633172925997356</id><published>2010-06-28T21:23:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-06-30T15:42:45.253-07:00</updated><title type='text'>New Frontiers</title><content type='html'>Hey everyone!
