Guest Chefs

We're in the process of scheduling our chefs for the 2010 season. The following chefs are confirmed!

Chef Eric Wright returns this year for our July 10, August 21, and September 4 dinners. Eric has over 20 years' experience in the Seattle/Eastside restaurant community, including the W Hotel, Sorrento Hotel Hunt Club, and executive chef for Cactus restaurants. A graduate of Seattle Central Community College Culinary Arts, Eric spent a year sampling the gastronomic delights of Europe and South Africa and is now the general manager of the Microsoft flagship cafe and a founding member of the Slow Food Snoqualmie Valley Convivium.

Josh Henderson, of Skillet fame, will return again this year for our July 24th dinner. A graduate of the Culinary Institute of America in 1998, he started his mobile restaurant in 2007 with the goal "to provide seasonally relevant, locally sourced and impeccably executed bistro style food." You will find the renovated Airstream trailers in numerous locations around Seattle.

Preparing the meal for our August 7th dinner, is Adam Stevenson, Executive Chef of Earth & Ocean at the W Seattle. A graduate of the Western Culinary Institute in Portland, Adam worked under CHef Walter Pisano at Tulio Ristorante in many different roles, from prep cook to executive sous chef. Adam's cuisine reflects the eastern European influences from his family's heritage, as well as Italian cooking of which he is so fond. He also enjoys incorporating the bright flavors, spices, and comforts of India and the Middle East. His commitment to artisan, organic, and natural products and sustainable cooking practices are reflected in all of his recipes and menus.
