Water Grill Bellevue on KING 5’s New Day Northwest

September 17, 2025

Bellevue's go-to restaurant for first-of-season seafood and live oysters, Water Grill, showed off their expertise on the grill instead of the water on KING 5’s New Day Northwest this week. Head Chef Kaelon Sparks showed Guests how to achieve the perfect sear using Snake River Farms’ Wagyu Gold Filet Mignon as the star of the segment.

In collaboration with Idaho’s Snake River Farms, Water Grill is expanding their meat program to include “Gold Label” cuts of filet mignon and ribeye. As Chef Kaelon explained, “Gold signifies the Beef Marbling Score, or BMS. For a Prime steak, you’d be at a six out of twelve range, but with the Gold it’s all a nine-plus.”

Using a ripping-hot cast-iron pan, Chef Kaelon lets the heavy marbling do the work, releasing rich beef flavor and the fats that help create the golden-brown sear we all look for in a perfectly cooked steak. He also shares pro tips for getting that restaurant-quality sear at home.
