EatinSeattle has teamed up with CityGuru to invite its readers an exclusive opportunity to experience the Seattle culinary scene all in one night. Along with the the mighty inaugural gathering of more than 50 trucks, carts, stands, and other vendors. The One Night Only Project has teamed up with the Seattle Street Food Festival to host a private, high-end popup event that will include roughly a dozen notable chefs from around town (generally of the brick-and-mortar variety) whom will be preparing their own take on street food and serving it up as night falls in Cal Anderson Park.
A $165 ticket gets you in to sample plates like Charles Walpole’s ceviche with watermelon and toasted grains, or Joshua Henderson’s Southeast Asian-inspired crispy wings and chicken feet (!) with toasted garlic, spicy fermented cabbage with cilantro, and nuoc cham. Plus, you know, a lot of wine and beer and mingle with the chefs.
PLUS, as a CityGuru guest, you’ll get a special invitation to a secret industry after party thrown by Ethan Stowell and Jason Franey. Location will be revealed at check-in.
