YOU CAN HELP! Support local chef’s free-meal program by having him coach you through Saturday night dinner

| How to help | West Seattle news | West Seattle restaurants

Despite pandemic-related health and business challenges, many local restaurateurs are giving generously to the community – with your partnership, when possible. Here’s an upcoming opportunity to support one such effort – while you get a cooking lesson AND gourmet dinner. The announcement:

Brian Clevenger, owner of General Harvest Restaurants, is partnering with local startup Zeacon to welcome people into his home kitchen for a virtual cooking experience on Saturday, May 16th at 7 pm.

Participants will learn how to make one of his signature pasta dishes and get exclusive access to the tips and tricks that make his cooking exceptional. Proceeds go toward providing free meals served out of Brian Clevenger’s West Seattle restaurant, Haymaker. Anyone in need of a meal who’s been affected by the current crisis can call ahead at 206-946-6994 for pickup, no questions asked. Haymaker’s daily menu can be found (here).

Brian Clevenger’s Zeacon LIVE experience is available for purchase here:

As explained at that link, the price includes the ingredients for the pasta dish. Clevenger, who lives in West Seattle, also operates Raccolto on the north side of The Junction. (2019 photo courtesy Haymaker)

We’ve been there twice for the halibut for two. Great menu, great food.

For the class, will the students be cooking their meal in real time along with the video class? Or watch the class and cook later? The website wasn’t clear. In the PCC cooking classes, the chef’s often have stages of the recipe pre-prepared in advance for the demo, so participants do not cook along with the instructor- they watch and make the recipes later. If anyone knows, that would be great!Sounds super yummy!

This is the type of thing I would like to see more of- I paid for and attended two of PCC’s zoom cooking lessons and they were good. But it would be great to see local chef’s get in on this action too! Hint hint- I’d love some tips from Itto’s, Harry’s, Seattle Seafood Co… please ;)

Looks like the tickets are sold out.

Thanks for the update. I checked with the original source immediately before publishing this yesterday and at least then it was not sold out, but I don’t usually get post-publication updates so appreciate yours.

Sorry, comment time is over.
