Some of Seattle’s most popular chefs are heading up a unique tour this summer designed to get foodies to hit the road for a taste of the Northwest.
The top-rated chefs are teaming up with Gray Line of Seattle bus company this summer for eight new culinary tours. Each tour features a visit with a chef from a popular Seattle restaurant. Participating eateries include Crush, Troiani Ristorante Italiano, El Gaucho, Sky City at the Space Needle, Chandlers Crabhouse on Lake Union, Daniel’s Broiler at Lake Union, Waterfront Grill and Palisade.
During the tour individual chefs will greet participants at the Sheraton Seattle Hotel and accompany them to a participating market, such as the historic Pike Place Market, farmers’ markets and the Uwajimaya Asian Marketplace, to shop for the day’s ingredients. From there the group will return to the chef’s restaurant for a cooking demonstration and a discussion on all things culinary. Guests get to sample the tasty creation and take the recipe home.
Chef Jason Wilson of Crush, named best new chef of 2006 by Food & Wine Magazine, kicks off the culinary tour program June 28th.
The four-hour tours cost $100 per person.
