[SEA] Fare Start Guest Chef Nights in Septempter

[LEdlund]

Thanks for doing this Laurel, you must have a spreadsheet to keep up with all of these changes, requests etc.

So here's another one.....will you add Paul (Mr. Ledlund) to the list on the 23rd. He was finally able to confirm. We are available any time.

Thanks!

[MsRamsey]

Please tentatively add MrRamsey(Gorman) to 9/16. It depends on what time his flight comes in, but I can give him a heads up to get an early one. Thanks, Laurel!

[laurel]

I got a reservation for 9/16 for 15 people at 6:30, so that's all set.

For 9/23, they're full at 6:30, so they suggested splitting into 5:30 and 7:30, so if you could PM/email me with your preference for that day, that would be great.

[rockdoggydog]

I have to back out of the dinner on 9-23, reality just reached up and slapped inthe face. I have a work dinner to attend that night. Thanks Laurel.

[laurel]

By the way, there are a few people who haven't replied about 5:30 or 7:30 for 9/23, so if you could get back to me as soon as possible so I can make the reservation, that would be great...

[Sleepy_Dragon]

5:30pm for me. Thanks laurel.

Pat

[white lotus]

These look like great dinners and I wish I could join you! In addition to loving these chefs, I'm a big fan of FareStart and a volunteer board member there -- they provide a helping hand for people who need one and are working incredibly hard to turn their lives around. Unfortunately, I will be in Italy during those two weeks (well, not really unfortunately, but you know what I mean). Anyway, I'll ask Megan, our fabulous executive director, to stop by your tables and say hi. Have a great time...

Thanks, Laurel. Richard and I are looking forward to this !

Hi Laurel,

my husband and I would love to attend at 7:30 if there is room!

We'd love to do the 16th too but will be in San Fran dining at Chez Panisse and Aqua! oh I'm very excited!!

[laurel]

my husband and I would love to attend at 7:30 if there is room!

Sorry about not getting back to you earlier, little ms foodie...

They can add 2 to our 7:30 reservation, but only if we switch from 7:30 to 7:45. If nobody objects to the 15 minute change, I'll call tomorrow, and ask them to change it...

Also, they told me that one person could easily be added to our 5:30 reservation, if anyone else wants to eat early.

[little ms foodie]

Thank you!

If anyone objects I totally understand but if not we would love to join! I know we are coming in late so please don't hesitate to say something if the 7:45 time is too late.

[laurel]

Looks like there aren't any objections, so the new list is:

[cheeseandchocolate]

I just nabbed a 6:30 reservation for myself and my friend Keaton at the Ethan Stowell dinner. Wouldn't miss it. I'll look for a big tableful of you e-Gulleteers and come introduce myself. I'm should have booked with you, but I thought the list was closed!

[vengroff]

If Ethan's chilled tomato soup is anything like the version he made with crab a few weeks ago at Union you are in for a treat. I'll be out of town on the 16th, but I can't wait to hear your reports.

[cheeseandchocolate]

Okay, so my aforementioned friend Keaton has just accepted an unexpected offer to jet off to some crazy resort in Thailand(!!) on Thursday. I am now a party of one with a reservation for two. Laurel or anyone else going to FareStart for the Ethan Stowell dinner, is there an official eGullet table (or two)? If I called FareStart, could I squeeze in with you guys? I'm sad.

It's Seattle, of course it is! But only if you bring mushrooms

[Sleepy_Dragon]

If anybody wants me to bring my knife kit in order to check out first hand bladesmiths.com's sharpening work (re: SEA sharpening thread), please let me know, otherwise I'll leave them at home.

Looking forward to this. And thank you again laurel for all your organizing.
