Update: The August 1 Chef’s Table is fully booked, but Tilth is taking names for their wait list and may open their patio that evening to accommodate more diners. They also may hold another Chef’s Table; a date is under discussion. (Thanks reader Jacqui for the heads-up.)
If you have something to celebrate or are a connoisseur of Seattle chefs, Tilth has an event coming up that’s worth your notice.
The monthly Seattle Chef’s Table Dinner stops at restaurants of the participating chefs over the course of the year, and Tilth’s turn comes around again on Sunday, August 1.
Tilth’s Maria Hines, Thierry Rautureau (Rover’s), Holly Smith (Café Juanita), Jonathan Sundstrom (Lark), Jason Wilson (Crush), and Tamara Murphy (Brasa) will prepare a six-course fixed price dinner featuring one course from each chef.
If you’d like to get the flavor of Chef’s Table before committing to a reservation, The Seattle Times’ Nancy Leson shared a lengthy account of one dinner last year. “The intimate gatherings,” Leson wrote, “were conceived as an effort to bring diners out of the woodwork, now that so many ‘regulars’ — at restaurants large and small, fancy four-star joints and family-friendly chains alike — are scaling back on their dining-out budgets.”
More details:
The dinner begins with a reception including sparkling wine and hors d’oeuvre at 6 p.m. followed by a 7 p. m. seating.
Date: Sunday, August 1, 2010 6 p.m.
Location: Tilth, 1411 North 45th Street
Cost: $110 for dinner / $55 for optional wine pairing
Please call for reservations 206.633.0801
I just called, and it’s all booked up – but Tilth said they might do a second one that Monday, because of the response. There is a wait list now for Sunday, and they’ll call everyone if they do put the Monday one together.
Thanks for updating us!
It’s cool these guys are doing this, but it seems to always be the same “top 10” chefs in Seattle doing this – the same “inside” group – what about “outsiders” like Bruce at Le Gourmand Restaurant? He’s been doing “local”, “sustainable” and “organic” since 1985. What about others? Nothing against those involved but it’s always the same people.
