Seven Phinney Ridge and Greenwood restaurants are participating in Thursday’s “Dine Out For Life” by the Lifelong AIDS Alliance. They’ll donate a portion of your bill to the organization’s fight against illness and hunger.

Here’s the list of participating restaurants in our neighborhood (you can check out the full city-wide list here.):

• Red Mill Burgers
• Santa Fe Café
• Stumbling Goat Bistro
• 74th Street Ale House
• Naked City Brewery & Taphouse
• Razzi’s Pizzeria
• The Olive and Grape

Red Mill Burgers‘ famous pile of bacon and bacon burgers will be featured on the TV show “United States of Bacon” at 6 p.m. Tuesday on Destination America (channel 201 on Comcast). Host and well-known chef Todd Fisher filmed here last September. The episode also will feature Mike’s Chili Parlor in Ballard.

A food show on the Discovery Channel will be filming at the Phinney Ridge Red Mill Burgers on Thursday. Staff members wouldn’t say which show it was, but did say the show’s giant production trailer will be parked in the parking lot all day, starting around 8:30 a.m.

The show’s main focus will be Red Mill’s Double Bacon Deluxe with Cheese.

If you’re hankering for a Red Mill burger, Phinney Ridge and Interbay are no longer your only choices. Red Mill’s new Ballard restaurant opens Tuesday.

The Red Mill Totem House, 3058 NW 54th St., will be open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, and 12-8 p.m. on Sunday.

Red Mill co-owner John Shepherd told Leson they’d love to open a Red Mill that also serves fish ‘n chips.
