Food lovers from inside and outside Seattle's restaurant biz are holding a meet-up at the Palace Ballroom Nov. 2, featuring Thierry Rautureau (Rover's), Ethan Stowel (How to Cook a Wolf) and Kurt Dammeier (Beecher's Cheese). If you're lucky, you could get in for free.
Attendees will be able to sample fine eats from local restaurants and get a glass of wine too. There'll even be a "speed networking" session with Julien Perry, "restaurant reporter for KOMO, the Food Editor for WINO Magazine, a producer for Urbanspoon, and a contributing writer for Seattle Weekly," according to the Foodportunity.com site.
If you want to go, you can get tickets via Foodportunity's site, or you can enter a drawing to win a pair of $30 tickets to the event by answering a simple question about who you'd like to meet in the Seattle food scene. To enter the drawing, go to former Seattle P-I food writer and restaurant critic Rebekah Denn's site, eatallaboutit.com.
I'd probably go with Dammeier as my pick if I had to choose, but it would be an agonizing decision because there are soooo many other excellent choices... After you enter on Rebekah's site, let us know who you chose.
Ah how annoying I will just miss it, have been on vacation in Seattle. O well, hopefully there will be more in the future?!
I just tried my luck with Maria Hines, fingers crossed !
How cool! Thanks for the tipp'!!!
