Taste of West Seattle 2019 serves up helpings of hope

8:41 PM: Beautiful night at The Hall at Fauntleroy, inside and out, as the West Seattle Helpline hosted its annual Taste of West Seattle, raising money for emergency assistance that helps keep people from becoming homeless. Dozens of local food and beverage venues/providers were there with samples and sips – like Mission Cantina (WSB sponsor) with esquites con nopale:

Flying Apron‘s offerings included chocolate cupcakes with curry frosting:

The tasting tables were spread throughout the Hall and across its grounds, including both of its big rooms:

Serving up chicken paella, Colleen and Kim from Dream Dinners West Seattle (WSB sponsor):

Lots of beverages too – winemaker Ben Viscon of Viscon Cellars (WSB sponsor) was pouring:

Michelle, Brie, and Shauna from Pecos Pit BBQ (WSB sponsor) were dishing up all-beef spicy hot links and mac ‘n’ cheese:

We have a few more photos to add – plus, we’re awaiting the results of Taste-goers’ voting – more later!

ADDED LATE THURSDAY: Also at the Taste – Husky Deli‘s Jack Miller:

And from Salty’s (WSB sponsor), Victor was serving aleppo-pepper-crusted ahi:

New participants included Indulge Desserts, a relatively recent arrival at 35th/Henderson.

ADDED FRIDAY: Update from the Helpline:

The winners for best…

Taste – Tuxedos and Tennis Shoes
Veggie Taste – Mission Cantina
Pour – The Bridge
Mocktail – All In
Sweet – Bakery Nouveau

Though there are still some donations and matches coming in, so far we have raised over $57,000. This is enough to keep over 160 families safe and stable in their homes while they recover from unexpected hardship!!
