Welcome to Roots to Restaurants! I’m Dougal Brownlie (he/him), and I’ve always believed that food tells a story. Our Seattle-based team specializes in visual storytelling, partnering with chefs and restaurants from diverse backgrounds to create photos, videos, and mini-documentaries that reveal the magic of food.

Our goal is to ignite curiosity and share the rich narratives behind every dish. Just like an onion, our logo symbolizes the depth of these stories, with each layer representing the people, cultures, and experiences tied to the universal language of food.

Let’s explore the world of food together!
